Billie’s Story

Billie is a sweet, tiny dachshund girl who has already shown what a loyal and loving companion she can be. She's recently come into care and has settled beautifully in her foster home, where she lives alongside a 7-year-old male dachshund.

True to dachshund form, Billie is affectionate, alert, and a little bit cheeky—she’s got that typical daxie spirit we all know and love. She's ready to find a forever home that understands the breed and can provide her with a safe, loving environment where she can continue to flourish.

Temperament & Personality

Billie is social and affectionate, forming bonds quickly with her people.
She's comfortable with visiting children (ages 4–13) and enjoys gentle interaction.
Like many dachshunds, she has a big bark in a little body and won’t hesitate to alert you when someone arrives—or if a bird dares visit the backyard feeder!
She's both cuddly and independent and would likely enjoy being the centre of attention as an only dog but has also done well living with another dachshund.
Great with kids over 4 plus with gentle play
Like many of her breed, she is not a FAN of cats

Training & Routine

Sleeping: Crate-trained and sleeps quietly through the night (though she'd love a spot in the big bed if given the chance!).
Toilet Training: Clean in her crate overnight and waits until let out in the morning.
Commands: Quick Study and already mastered the basic commands
Lead Walking: Walks nicely on a lead.
Meals:
- Breakfast: Raw (chunkers or 3 chicken wing tips)
- Dinner: Home-cooked meal of human-grade chicken or turkey mince, chicken hearts, vegetables (carrot, zucchini, corn, broccoli, cauliflower), rolled oats, and dry biscuits.

Important Notes for Adopters

Billie is very small and agile—she has a cheeky streak and will try to escape if she spots an opportunity. A secure yard and diligent supervision are essential.
She’s still young and will benefit from continued training and boundaries, especially from adopters familiar with dachshund behaviours and needs.
