Senior Dachshund dogs in California
Meet 16 adoptable senior Dachshund dogs (age 7+) in California. Each one is from a shelter or rescue and ready for a calm, loving home.
Older Dachshunds in California are often passed over for puppies, yet they're usually house-trained, settled in temperament, and ready to bond right away — and because they're fully grown, you already know their size and personality. Adopting a senior Dachshund in California means welcoming a calm, grateful companion who can settle in from day one.

Most shelters and vets consider a dog "senior" around age 7, though large breeds often age sooner and small breeds a little later. Every dog listed here is 7 years or older.
