09/30/2014:  Manny was owner surrendered back to Judy along with his sister Nettie.  The owners husband passed away and she was not able to care for both of them by herself.  Both dogs will do great with children, they are both housebroken, happy/playful and love to be bathed.  They also like to go on walks.  They must be adopted together as they have never been seperated and would do best together.  They are available and up to date either for adoption or fostering.  

Manny and his buddy Nettie were surrendered after their owner died and the family was not able to care for them properly. Manny is an outgoing typical yappy Dachshund. He is really a sweet boy and is looking for a great home that will love and cherish him. Manny and Nettie are really bonded and would love to go to a home together.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Dachshund (pronounced dak sund) originated in Germany many hundreds of years ago. "Dachs" is the word for badger. The Dachshund was bred to hunt and follow these animals to earth, gradually becoming highly evolved, with shortened legs to dig the prey out and go down inside the burrows. Smaller Dachshunds where bred to hunt hare and stoat. Dachshunds have many "terrier" characteristics. They are versatile and courageous dogs and have been known to take on foxes and otters, besides badgers. Lively and affectionate; proud and bold, almost rash. Tenacious. Can be willful and clownish. Curious and mischievous, they are very clever and may attempt to train the owner rather than allow the opposite. Devoted to his family, some fanciers feel the long-haired variety is calmer than the other two types. The wire-haired variety is more outgoing and clown-like. All are slightly difficult to train. Dachshunds are good dogs to travel with. They are best with older, considerate children and are moderately protective. These little dogs like to bark (their barks are surprisingly loud for their size) and are compulsive diggers. They are generally okay with other pets, however, they can be jealous, irritable, obstinate and very quick to bite. Sometimes they will refuse to be handled. They should not be over fed, for this breed tends to gain weight quickly. They have a life expectancy of 12-15 years.
