A group of character-packed Dachshunds and their crossbreed cousins are looking for second chances at Paws Haven Potchefstroom. This lot might be low to the ground, but their stories are anything but flat. From shy hearts to energetic bullets, here’s who’s waiting to meet their humans.

Dusty

Age: Around 8 years
Sex: Female (Sterilised)
Breed: Dachshund
Colour: Brown
Bark-ID: 27350

Dusty is the textbook definition of a couch companion. Described as a “house bug”, she’s likely mastered the art of strategic napping. She’s great with children and is more than ready to settle into a home where she can continue her career as an indoor snoozer. No drama, just vibes.

Fudge

Age: Around 7 years
Sex: Male
Breed: Dachshund cross
Colour: Brown
Bark-ID: 27352

Fudge has the kind of energy that makes you want to cancel your Friday night plans and just chill on the couch. He’s calm, quiet, and just looking for someone to hang with. Not much of a barker, and he probably won’t chew your slippers either. Solid guy.

Camo

Age: Around 13 years
Sex: Male (Sterilised)
Breed: Dachshund
Colour: Brown
Bark-ID: 27351

Camo is a senior citizen with plenty of opinions, a little bit of grump, and a whole lot of charm. Yes, he might bark at a breeze, but he’s earned the right to. What he really wants is love, food, and maybe a soft bed in a quiet home. The eyes say “been there, chewed that” — but he still believes in second chances.

Biscuit

Age: Around 7 years
Sex: Female (Sterilised)
Breed: Dachshund
Colour: Black
Bark-ID: 27349

Biscuit is a shy girl with a very sweet side. It might take her a minute to come out of her shell, but if you’ve got patience and a kind heart, she’ll reward you with loyalty and cuddles. She needs someone who understands the quieter types, no fast lanes, no chaos.

Bullet

Age: Around 3 years
Sex: Male
Breed: Dachshund cross
Colour: Brown
Bark-ID: Not listed

Bullet didn’t get his name for nothing. He’s a high-energy fellow who loves walkies and gets the zoomies at least twice a day. If your household needs a bit of excitement and you don’t mind muddy paw prints, he might be your guy. He’s young, full of bounce, and ready for action.
