Amora & Hemi– A Loveable Little Duo Looking for a Home Together

Amora and Hemi are a bonded brother-and-sister pair who are happiest side by side. They love zooming around together, playing tug-of-war and then snuggling up with their favourite people. Both are very affectionate and enjoy curling up on your lap or beside you on the couch. They may need a little time to warm up to new people, but once they feel comfortable, their loving personalities shine.

Amora – Female | Born 20 August 2023

Amora is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves being close to her people. If there’s a lap available, she’ll likely find it! She enjoys cuddles and snuggles and is happiest when she feels safe with her favourite humans.

Amora can be anxious when meeting new people and dogs, and is protective of her home. She may bark when someone new arrives, but this is not aggressive behaviour; she simply needs time and patience to settle and build trust. Once comfortable in her surroundings, she enjoys getting out for walks and can be enthusiastic on the lead.

Amora and Hemi have lots of fun together, including zoomies and tug-of-war. Amora can sometimes be the bossier one, and their play can include growling and playful mouthing, but their interactions are not aggressive. Amora would benefit from patient adopters who continue building her confidence with positive, reward-based training. She is also working on not jumping up.

Hemi – Male | Born 14 August 2022

Hemi is a gorgeous, affectionate boy who is devoted to the people he knows and loves. He’s a professional lap dog who enjoys cuddling with his favourite humans and being part of the family. He’s playful, loves chasing balls, and enjoys having fun with Amora.

Hemi walks well on the lead and enjoys getting out and about. He can be wary of strangers and may bark when people visit or when he gets particularly excited. He also loves announcing your arrival home, so you’ll know when he’s noticed you!

He currently uses steps and ramps to access furniture safely. Hemi is toilet trained and has been taught to use a pee mat while living in an apartment. He may have the occasional mishap somewhere unfamiliar or if he can’t access his mat, so patience while he settles into a new environment will help.

Everyday Life & Training

Both dogs are food-motivated, which is helpful for training. They understand “sit” when waiting for breakfast or dinner, and they have been fed alongside a senior dachshund without showing food aggression. They enjoy their walks and behave well on the lead.

They are toilet trained, lead trained, dachshund friendly, happy travelling in the car and happy sleeping indoors. They are not crate trained, and their basic obedience—particularly sit and stay—will benefit from continued positive, reward-based training. They are not prone to separation anxiety.

Their Perfect Home

Amora and Hemi are looking for a home together, where they can continue to enjoy the security and companionship they get from one another. They would suit an understanding family with adults or older children aged 8 and over. They have plenty of energy and would do best with people who can give them time, attention, affection and ongoing training. They are not suited to very young children.

Their new family should be comfortable helping them build confidence, manage barking and practise basic obedience using positive, reward-based training. Neither dog needs a perfect home—just someone patient who will let them settle at their own pace and help them become the confident, happy dachshunds they have the potential to be.

Most importantly, they have each other. ❤️
