[rehomed!] FOSTER/ADOPT: Nacho the active, loyal, affectionate 4-5yo male dachshund


We adopted this baby about 2 years ago, after his owner went home to Thailand. He is one of 4 dachshunds left behind by the owner. When we first brought him home, he was very withdrawn and sad.

We observed that he responds better to women and would be very suspicious of man. Patience is needed to win him over and he is timid with strangers. However, when you get to know him and win his confidence, he is very affectionate, lovable and loyal. He has an active nature and loves to play ball (he will dribble the ball towards you).

Nacho is the companion of Rascal the 8yo male spaniel, who is also up for adoption.

Both dogs get along well 90% of the time and would fight every now and then over a ball or food. However, every night, they would be sleeping next to each other, with one resting his head on the other.

They love their daily walks and love to bathe as well.
