Energy level: low Potty training: belly band Fenced yard: preferred but not required Shared walls: no People: all Dogs: all Other: some separation anxiety   Overview Looking for a gentle soul who wants nothing more than to be by your side? Marley the blonde dachshund might be your perfect companion. Marley is a sweet 7-year-old purebred dachshund weighing 15 lbs with a beautiful blonde coat. He came to Little Paws as a surrender and is now searching for a loving home where he can feel safe and cherished. This affectionate boy is a true couch potato who loves nothing more than being petted and spending quiet time with his people. He's a sensitive soul with a gentle heart. Environment Marley has a low energy level and is very much a couch potato. While he loves walks, he doesn't require intense exercise—he's happy with leisurely strolls and lots of snuggle time. He's still learning leash manners but enjoys his walking adventures. For potty needs, Marley currently uses a belly band. A fenced yard would be helpful for him but isn't absolutely necessary if you're committed to regular potty breaks. Marley loves his crate and sees it as his safe haven. However, he thrives on companionship and can become anxious when left alone. He'll do best in a home where someone is around most of the time, or where he has another calm dog companion to keep him company. He's also quite nervous, especially when there's a lot of noise, so he needs a home without shared walls where he can feel secure in a quieter environment. Marley travels well in the car once he settles in, though he may be anxious at first. Pets & People Marley is good with people of all ages and is gentle with everyone he meets. He loves being petted and will soak up all the affection you can give him. With strangers, he's friendly once he's had a moment to adjust—he just needs a little time to feel comfortable in new situations. With other dogs, Marley is shy at first but does well once he's had time to warm up. He'd do wonderfully in a home with another calm, gentle dog who could be his buddy and help him feel more confident when his people need to step out. Marley has a normal relationship with food and treats—he enjoys them but isn't overly anxious or possessive about them. Health & Special Needs Marley is a healthy boy who will be having a dental cleaning to ensure his teeth are in great shape. Beyond routine care and his need for a calm, patient home that understands his anxiety, he doesn't have any special medical requirements. Location Marley is available for adoption from Miami, FL.
