Troy

My story

THIS POST WILL BE REMOVED WHEN THE DOG IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. INQUIRIES ABOUT THE ADOPTION STATUS WILL NOT BE RETURNED. Just like his name’s sake, Troy Donahue is a heart throb. He is a handsome, four-year-old smooth dachshund, weighing in at 12 lbs. Once you gain his trust he will melt into your arms. Spending his life as a stud for a commercial breeder has made Troy skittish around humans. He enjoys being around his foster mom, always keeping an eye on her. He follows her from room to room but darts if she moves towards him. He has yet to come to her on his own but it’s only a matter of time because when she does get close enough to pet, he will nudge her to keep going. Troy recently discovered toys although he has not learned the de-stuffing method. He found a special toy that he took outside. He hides it when it’s time to go into the house and will retrieve it the next time he’s in the yard. He is most comfortable with the other dachshunds in the house. Being new to the pet world he’s learning how to be a dog, such as pottying outside (work in progress), he gets treats when he goes into the kennel and how to walk on a leash (not mastered yet). He’s also met some big dogs that became his buddies. Due to poor health care at the breeding facility, Troy will have lifelong dental issues. It is important that his forever home is diligent with dental care. At this time, he would be best in a home with a canine companion to keep showing him the ropes. He will need a securely fenced yard. Troy Donahue is looking for “A Summer Place” and the perfect place for every season beyond - his very own loving and caring family to have forever and ever. How can you turn down those big brown eyes? The suggested adoption donation forTroy is a minimum of $500 and goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our rescue dogs.Wag N Train Terrier Rescue adopts to an extended geographical area as long as we can locate a local volunteer to perform the required home visit. Approved adopters are required to travel to Omaha, NE to pick up their newly adopted dog. We do not arrange transport, or fly our rescue dogs without a "pet nanny". All of our dogs that come from a commercial breeding facility require a securely fenced yard AND a resident companion dog, unless the dog's bio states otherwise. Please note, invisible or underground fencing is not considered secure or appropriate containment. Adoption applications can be found at www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com/adoption-information
