✨🐾 Meet Parton! 🐾✨
Likes: Tug-of-war, fetch, chew toys, getting pets, being around her family.
Dislikes: Strangers coming into her house—she will bark when they arrive but stops once they have petted her.
Other pets/children: Not sure about kids, but she does well with dogs. She has met them on leash and politely sniffed them.
Ideal home: An active household that can provide her with lots of walks, plenty of playtime (a backyard would be great), and adopters eager to train her and provide mental stimulation.
Quirks/traits adopters should know:
She will chase and try to eat butterflies, mosquitoes, and even bees.
If she’s bored, she may try to chew on rocks or furniture.
Climbs stairs three at a time.
Confident around water.
Loves following you around.
Behavioural/medical concerns: She cannot be left alone in the house without being crated. She will bark for about 2–5 minutes, then settles down nicely.
Cats: Probably not, due to high prey drive.
Dogs: Yes, with proper introductions.
Children: Not sure.
Estimated energy level: Medium/High.
Estimated breed: Dachshund/German Shepherd mix.
Weight: 23 lbs.
Barking: Yes—she will bark when people enter the house or if she sees neighbours outside the window. Otherwise, she does not bark in the house. She likes to “protect” her home.
House-trained: Not yet but improving. She has about one accident per day, usually on pee pads.
Car: Yes, she settles down well.
Leash: Yes, walks nicely.
Personality: Affectionate, smart, goofy, lovable, sweet, food-motivated, protective of her people, puppy-like personality.
Parton is a goofy, lovable Dachshund/German Shepherd mix who’s full of personality and puppy-like charm. She’s the kind of dog who will make you laugh one minute by zooming up the stairs three at a time, and melt your heart the next by curling up close after a day of play. Her favorite things include tug-of-war, fetch, chew toys, and, of course, being right by your side—she truly loves nothing more than hanging out with her people. 💛
She’s also incredibly smart. In just one week, this clever girl learned sit, stay, come, and down, and she’s eager to keep adding to her repertoire (especially if treats are involved!). Training isn’t just fun for her—it’s what she thrives on, and her food motivation makes her a dream to teach.
