We found Wrigley on a rescue dachshund website. He is 4 months old and is a dachshund/terrier mix. He is very easy going and lovable. When we first walked up to him and his owner at a park, he continued to sniff around but when we got down and spoke directly to him he came right over and licked our faces w/ his tail wagging. He didn't bark the entire time, and greeted passer-byers with a friendly face and wagging tail. He often sat down a lot to watch other dogs and children in the distance, apparently he likes to sit a lot! Then we went to his house and saw him play with his foster-siblings who were both dauchshunds. He was very gentle and submissive to both us and his foster-siblings. Before we left he even layed down and was resting for a bit. We think he is going to be a fantastic fit for us! We are going back to take him home on Wednesday after we buy all of his supplies. Ben and I can't wait to add to our "family" and both miss having a dog in the house. We are also pleased to be helping out such a wonderful cause. He was brought to the rescue site because he was at a dog shelter (we don't know how he got there) and was to be put to sleep the very next day, so he is one lucky guy. There are more pictures posted on facebook but he is just a little one, they don't think he will get much taller, just longer, and we hope to bring him to PA on the airplane with us (we think he is around 15lbs). Enjoy the pictures and we will keep you updated on how his transition into our home goes!
