Description
Most Amazing, Gentle, Loving Dachshund needs full time attention
I adopted Babi, an Isabella and tan miniature dachshund, about ten months ago from a woman in Merseyside. He is four years old but still wonderfully puppy like, and deeply affectionate. His original name was Buddy. I renamed him Babi, close enough to feel familiar, but his own.
Since bringing him home, I have invested in training camps, behavioural work and professional support to help him settle. He is toilet trained, walks beautifully so long as it isn’t raining, sits on command, rarely begs, and is gentle, loyal and endlessly loving. He adores long countryside walks, swimming, tennis balls, sofa mornings and being close to his person. He gets on well with other dogs, though he has the occasional dachshund stubborn streak. He is flead, wormed, microchipped and on a full vet care plan.
What I have come to understand, with a very heavy heart, is that Babi is an exceptionally anxious dog who suffers from severe separation anxiety. He makes the term velcro dog seem mild. While I work from home and walk him for hours every day, the moment I leave for even a short time it causes him visible distress. I recently trialled placing him in care for a longer period and he hated it. Even the city environment unsettles him. The difference in his mood between a busy urban walk and a quiet countryside path is profound.
I adore him. He is amazing. But I can see clearly now that the life I can offer him is not the life he needs.
He needs a home where he is rarely left alone. Ideally with other dogs, a family, or perhaps someone older who can take him everywhere with them. Someone who lives in or near the countryside, or at least somewhere calm and green. Someone whose lifestyle allows a dog to be present, always.
I considered taking him with me when I travel for work, even flying him to the Middle East when needed, but I do not believe he would cope with the journey or the climate. My work still requires meetings, day trips and occasional travel, and each time I leave him, it is a huge strain on him and me. He deserves the world. And someone who can have him by their side all the time.
This is not about money. I do not want payment. I want happiness for him.
He deserves a life where he feels safe, calm and accompanied. A life that I now know, painfully, I cannot give him.
I've had dogs all my life, but never one with this much anxiety or human contact needs - it's making us both very sad.
If you believe you could offer Babi the right forever home, please get in touch privately to discuss further.
He has everything he needs equipment wise, but I would need to do full screenings of any potential home - this is about making him happier, not more anxious. I'd rather quit my job and all other life commitments to be with him than see my amazing man go anywhere other than a stable home...
