Harley (LOCAL BOY) Dachshund Princeton, MA

Hi! My name is Harley and I am a 6 year old dachshund. I was recently owner surrendered because my family could no longer afford to care for me and didn’t think I got along well enough with their 2 year old grandson. I am a sweet, eager to please, people-dog. I like small dogs and children who understand that they need to be gentle with me. My new best friends are my 10 and 8 year old human brothers. I spend all of my free time with them. We snuggle on the couch, play video games and sleep all cuddled up together at night. I get along great with the other 4 small dogs that live here but big dogs make me nervous.



I am housebroken, but there are a few caveats there. I definitely know what to do when I go outside, and I take care of business, no problem. However, I am not all that good at signaling that I need to go, so it's best if you keep me on a regular schedule.



The most important thing to me is companionship. I am very much an indoor dog. Any setting that involves a comfortable couch that I am allowed to lounge on will be great. I go with the flow, just wanting (and deserving!) love, companionship, and the comfort of being with my forever family. Won’t you consider taking me home with you? I promise to love you unconditionally and be your best friend.

The adoption donation covers all pre-adoption vet costs (general health exam, vaccinations, heartworm testing/treatment when necessary)




PAWS of New England is not shelter but a rescue and thus is not funded by any city or state organization - we rely solely on the donations of our adopters to help defray the costs associated with saving these precious lives.


We are often asked, ""Why would you charge ""so much"" for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a good home?" ..... The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support ALL rescue pets, not just the dog they adopt. A young, healthy dog might cost us $150-400 in discounted vet care, and many people will want to adopt it; an older dog with health issues can easily cost $500-1500 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care for rehabilitation yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt him/her. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others.



Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you too are willing to give an opportunity for a better life to ALL of our dogs by supporting them through adoption donations. Without these funds, our rescue efforts would not be possible.


ALL KNOWN INFORMATION IS LISTED HERE. We do our best to give accurate information, but most of our dogs are rescues and do not come with a known history.
