🦴 8-Year-Old Male Dachshund | 8kg | Smooth Red Coat (with a distinguished grey muzzle) 🦴

If you're looking for a companion with a big personality, an even bigger heart, and a touch of goofiness, then Opie might just be your perfect match. This handsome gentleman has weathered life with charm and is now searching for his forever home—a place to snuggle, sniff, and be loved.

🐾 What Makes Opie Wonderful:

•       Expert snuggler—especially on the couch!

•       Loves gentle pats and human attention

•       Makes adorable rumbly moans when he’s cozy

•       Blanket burrower—you’ll often find him tunneling in for comfort

•       Entertains himself by rolling on the carpet and knocking cushions off the couch

•       Enjoys playing fetch, tug, and a cheeky game of hide and seek

•       Calm during train sounds, sirens, and even fireworks

•       Tail up, nose down—he’s a passionate lizard chaser in the garden!

•       Has some extra skin from weight loss—he’s worked hard on his fitness!

🎓 Training & Manners

•       Working on touch, spin, figure 8, and roll over

•       Calmness in the car (he can get a bit panty, but improving)

•       Recall and polite treat-taking (can get snappy if too excited)

•       Dog desensitisation on leash – he sometimes reacts to other dogs while walking but is responding well to training

🚶 Leash Life

For Opie, walks are about quality sniffing over speed. He’s a real scent explorer! He’s building his confidence around other dogs while out and about.

🏡 At Home

·       • Fully house-trained in his foster home and uses a doggy door

·       • Sleeps in a crate in the bedroom, with a bit of a grumble at first, but settles in

·       • If allowed in the bed, he’ll sleep in and snuggle until 9am – bliss!

·       • Enjoys scent games and backyard play to keep his body and mind busy

🍽️ Food & Behaviour

•       Eats kibble and loves mealtime

•       Can be a bit protective around food with other dogs—needs supervision during mealtime

•       Has a mischievous streak—keep rubbish bins secure or he’ll go exploring!

•       Will bark at the door when visitors arrive—he’s a great little alarm system!

🩺 Health & Vet Care

•       Neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated

•       Flea/tick treated, wormed, and vet checked

•       Has a bit of itchy skin – he recently had an injection to help with allergies

•       Sports a small notch in one ear—a souvenir from a disagreement in a previous home

🏠 Ideal Home

•       Has lived with kids and other dogs before

•       Would suit a home that can continue his training gently and consistently

•       A garden to sniff and patrol would be a bonus!

•       Opie thrives on routine, affection, and fun

Opie is a lovable, cheeky soul who brings joy, laughter, and affection to every day. He’s looking for a home where he can be your shadow, your blanket buddy, and your garden explorer.
