Well, here we go.... Loki found our family soon after the recent loss of our beloved Lizzy. The remaining snags were bereft, as were we. He came to our attention via the DRA page. After his discovery, the family (dawgs included) had several discussions about him as a proposition, all agreed that a snag lad was what was needed. The transaction came about, and in little time at all, Loki was snuggling, wrestling, and running amok like a Dachshund should. Working with the volunteers from DRA has been an amazing experience, and I believe we have become friends with all involved. We were fortunate to be long term snag parents, and we accommodated his needs during the initial settling period well. Important things to consider during settling in and long-term. Snags need company and lots of it. Toilet training can take time and can be frustrating. Diet is important, feed them with the importance that you place on your humans. Dogs bark...yep, funnily enough. Give your new snag time to get his/her stress of change out. Still provide firm but fair direction for negative behaviors. Remember....they have had their life turned upside down. Snags really need to feel safe in all aspects of their lives, from sleeping to eating, to guarding your family. Give them lots and lots and lots of positives including lap time and cuddles. We are thrilled for this Dachshund family.
