My story starts backwards....I want you to see my new home. Aunt Liz and Aunt Lee Anne found it for me. I decided that I liked my new home. Then I gave my Aunt's kisses goodbye.

Here is my life story...who knows but me and I ain't barkin about it. But I will make it short and sweet. My old owners dumped me and my brother Brenden at an abandoned house. The kids next door did not like us (who knows why.. maybe I was being a Doxie or maybe Bren was) and they caught us, put us in a wire cage and set us on fire. Their neighbors heard us and came to the rescue. From there we were shipped to Doxie Rescue and had to undergo skin grafting in several areas and rehabilitation. It took me the longest as I was burned worse.

As for the boys...well, if you don't have an eye witness, a photo or video, you can't prosecute the, "poor little juvies". Not fair to blame them if you don't catch them in the act even if you KNOW who it was....they had a poor childhood ya know.

Anywho, I lived with my foster mom for many long months. My brother Bren made it out into the adoption world sooner...he was a snot and had aggression issues.....he would flat bite you. Aunt Liz got ahold of him because he was giving our foster mom a lot of grief.. ungrateful little bugger. He was starting fights and the whole pack would jump in on him among other things. But after 2 weeks with Aunt Liz, he was much better and she had always wanted one of our breed, so he got to live with her. I won't tell his story..... that is up to him, but it is thru her that I found this wonderful mom and home I have now.

My new mom is a professional artist and can paint anything and taught art class forever. She has some beautiful work hanging all over the house. I love my home. Really tall ceilings, very 1800's and I really love the balconies! Mom had a Shih Tzu before me and it lived a nice, long life with her. Now mom is getting older and having medical issues and she needed someone the same speed as her. She went out and got a Yorkie pup, but it was very aggressive, hard to train and work with, and after spending a fortune on it, Aunt Liz talked her into giving it to PUPT for rehoming (Aunt Liz fixed it first) and then I was recommended to take it's place. She loved me on site and the rest as they say is history.

Many thanks for the wonderful people who helped make this all possible for mom and me!

About the breed: Want a fun, clever, playful, lively companion .... then adopt a, "Doxie". Easily bored with repetition training (Sit, Sit, Sit, Down, Down, Down...Hey, how many times do you really want me to do this...cause I am done and outa here!) Wonderful city or apartment pets, but can live in any surroundings. Watch out for poorly bred Dachshunds, which can cause many medical issues or make them aggressive (biters) so get him temperament tested first.
