Backstory: Allen is one of our dogs and is currently living in a loving single-dog household with an 8-year-old child. His family reached out for help rehoming him due to upcoming job changes and increased travel, not because of any major behavioral concerns. Allen is safe, well cared for, and deeply loved in his current home.
We will be welcoming Allen back to us in February, where he will spend approximately one month in our care for observation, structure, and focused work. Once he is with us, we’ll provide an updated assessment based on firsthand experience. The information below reflects what we currently know from his family and prior history.
Dognality: Allen is an affectionate, people-oriented dachshund who thrives on connection. He enjoys being close to his humans and finds joy in attention, play, and shared routines. Playful and expressive, Allen wants to be part of daily life and does best when included rather than left on the sidelines.
With unfamiliar people, Allen can be vocal and somewhat territorial at first, often alerting when someone new enters the home. Once he has time to warm up, he settles well and interacts appropriately. During his stay with us, we will be working on calm greetings and confidence around new people.
Allen has done well with other dogs in social settings, including dog parks, and appears socially capable. While currently an only dog, he may enjoy a compatible canine companion with thoughtful introductions.
Training & Development Focus: Allen is largely potty trained. His family has noted a few recent indoor accidents that appear to be related to emotional stressors rather than a lack of understanding. During his time with us, we will be reinforcing consistency, management, and routine to address this.
He is crate trained and comfortable being crated when unsupervised. Allen has expressed discomfort with harnesses and is still developing his leash skills. This will be an active focus during his return stay, including finding appropriate equipment and building positive associations with walking and handling.
Ideal Home: Allen will thrive in a home that values structure, consistency, and engagement. He is well suited for individuals or families who enjoy an affectionate, involved dog and are comfortable continuing the foundation we put in place. He has lived successfully with a child and may do well in homes with respectful kids.
