Merida Update: ✨ Meet Merida ✨ This sweet curly-haired girl is learning that the world is not such a scary place after all. Merida can be a little nervous at first, but every day she grows a bit braver and more confident with her foster Mom. Underneath her shy personality is a gentle soul who really wants love, comfort, and a family of her own. Merida enjoys quiet companionship, soft beds, and following the lead of the other dogs around her. Having another friendly dog in the home would help continue building her confidence as she learns how wonderful being a spoiled house pup can be. A fenced yard is required for this timid little princess so she can safely explore at her own pace and continue gaining confidence outdoors. Watching Merida come out of her shell has been such a rewarding journey, and now she’s ready to find the patient, loving home she deserves. Apply online https://www.dakotadachshundrescue.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=22423123 Hi, I'm Merida! I'm a recent breeder release girl just beginning my journey to become a house pet.House training, walking on a harness and leash, learning about recall commands. This is a lot for a new girl on the block :)I require a physical fence to keep me safe. If I did not have a securely fenced yard I would bolt if I got spooked, things like sirens, big trucks, thunderstorms, fireworks, these things are pretty scarry as I have not experienced them before when I've been outside I am 7 years old with a heart full of love. Living with my foster mom, I've shown how sweet, friendly, and gentle I am. I've gotten along wonderfully with her cats, the family dog, and all the people in the house. I love snuggling up for a good nap. I'm also quite smart! I am learning how to be a family member quickly and I'm doing well with my house training. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will bring joy and affection into your home, I'm the perfect match. Let's start our adventure together! I am 7 yrs old, I weigh 36 pounds, my adoption fee is $325 plus sales tax $14.63= $339.63 My adoption fee help with my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella,spay, dental and microchipping.
