💙🐶 BUDDY – Miniature Dachshunds :A Big Personality in a Tiny Body 🐶💙
📍 Currently in Loughborough, LE12
🌟 RBU, post-adoption support, and 4 weeks free PetPlan insurance provided upon adoption
Those who have ever lived with dachshunds – especially miniature ones – will know their quirky, unique nature. A huge personality packed into a tiny body. Often they carry a little-man syndrome, with demonstrative reactivity on walks, especially on the lead. They’re clever, affectionate, loyal, but can be selective with strangers, and don’t always tolerate chaotic small children.
Buddy, a 4-year-old neutered miniature dachshund boy (5kg), is the perfect example. He’s affectionate and playful with his trusted people, loves a game of fetch, daily walks, and curling up in his crate at night. He’s fully housetrained, knows commands like bed and wait, and is happy to be left for a few hours at a time.

💔 Rescue Story 💔
Buddy’s owner took him in from a family friend’s litter and has raised him with love. Sadly, with a toddler at home, it’s become increasingly clear that Buddy isn’t coping well. He’s nervous around very young children, and with signs of defensive behaviour, his family have made the decision to rehome him to keep everyone safe and happy.
🐾 More About Buddy 🐾
Buddy is a typical dachshund – charming, stubborn, funny, and loyal. He loves affection, daily walks, and games of fetch. He has a cheeky side, stealing toys or balls, but is gentle with those he trusts. On walks, he can be reactive if other dogs or people approach too closely, but in the right hands, with patience and clear boundaries, he will continue to blossom.
🏡 Ideal Family 🏡
Buddy needs a calm, adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy children. He’ll thrive as an only pet or possibly alongside another dachshund. His new family should understand the dachshund temperament – a big character in a little frame – and be ready to give him the stability, patience, and love he needs.
🩺 Health Information 🩺
Buddy is healthy, neutered, vaccinated, and housetrained.
🐾 Buddy is a true dachshund character – loyal, funny, and affectionate, but needing the right environment to shine. Could you be the one to give him the safe, loving forever home he deserves? 🐾
