Overview
Looking for a mellow, easygoing companion with a little dachshund sass? Hooper is a 13-year-old smooth red miniature dachshund weighing 11 lbs, and he is exactly the kind of dog who makes a house feel like home.
Hooper came to Little Paws following a divorce and is ready for the next chapter. He's funny and quirky in that distinctly dachshund way, utterly easygoing at his core, and more than ready to find a quiet, loving place to settle in. He has an emotion support friend in his best buddy Hannah, so it's best they be adopted together. Hannah is 9 years old.
Environment
Hooper is a low-key, contented soul. He loves his walks and prefers having a fenced yard to explore at his own pace, but does not need one. He is most content with his buddy Hannah around. They enjoy sharing a bed to cuddle, and then go into their respective crates for bed time.
He is chatty, especially when greeting people, so a home without shared walls is likely the best fit. He travels quietly in the car with no radius restrictions.
Pets & People
Hooper is great with everyone: friendly with strangers once the initial greeting announcement has been made, relaxed and easy with all other dogs his size. Hooper should not go to a home with large dogs (40lbs+). He is a good eater and loves treats. He needs to be adopted with foster-mate Hannah, as she is his best support!
He's a senior dog in the best sense: settled, good-natured, and ready to be someone's loyal companion for whatever comes next.
Location
Hooper is available for adoption from Boston, MA. He is currently being fostered alongside Hannah, a nine-year-old female dachshund, and the two get along well and will snuggle together. Please email fosternorth@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Hooper and Hannah is $575.
