I came to rescue extremely fearful and in need of extra help.  Right now, I'm slowly going through desensitizing and reconditioning rehab.  My wonderful foster home is trained to help me with this.  I'm shown a lot of patience and understanding.  I'm given lot's of time and space to regain small bits of confidence and take it one day at a time.  If anyone would adopt me at this time, they'd need to be just as patient, understanding and compassionate.  I spent a lot of time raising puppies and keeping things tidy, so I have a habit of trying to help clean "things" up.  I'll need a home that makes sure that job is left to others to handle!  My recovery may take a long time but I'm working to learn how to enjoy  the "good life."  Sometimes, I may have setbacks.  This can often happen with dogs like me.  Right now I'm just not "an ordinary, jump in your lap and kiss you all over" kind of dachshund.  Follow along with my updates as I grow more and more confident.  I'm really looking forward to blossoming and becoming a great dachshund companion. Guess what!  I have a brand new home as of 3.15.11 and a brand new brother, Major Max. He was another ddrtx rescue who was adopted by the same couple.  Check out Pic #3...there we are together.
