About Slink
Slink is an intelligent, energetic and playful dachshund that is very affectionate. His bright, curious nature makes him a delightful and loving companion. He's already shown tremendous progress in his foster home and has proven he is a loving and affectionate companion once he gets to know you.
Personality Highlights
Slink is a quick learner who responds instantly to his name and the "come" command, especially when treats are involved! While he can be independent and enjoys exploring the yard on his own, he also loves snuggling on the couch and sleeping in bed with his humans. He's particularly fond of tennis balls and playtime, though he needs durable toys due to his enthusiastic chewing habits.
