Meet Arnold – Your Little Shadow! ❤️ Arnold is a loving, affectionate and playful Miniature Dachshund who absolutely adores being close to his people. Whether it’s cuddling on the couch, snuggling on your lap or simply being involved in whatever the family is doing, Arnold wants to be part of it all! He has always been around children and enjoys playing and snuggling with them. He is an energetic little fellow who loves running, playing and having fun. Arnold can be a little anxious and is frightened of loud household appliances like the vacuum cleaner. He also finds being left alone difficult and may howl, as he is used to having someone home with him most of the time. When out and about, Arnold can become overexcited and bark at other dogs, so he would benefit from patient, positive and consistent training. Arnold is looking for a loving home where someone is home most of the time. He would be best suited as the only dog, where he can soak up all the love and attention he deserves. Please note: Arnold is available by application only through our website. Only successful applicants will be contacted.
If Arnold isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
