Kilt Dachshund & Retriever Mix Lenoir, NC

These little traditional costumes are looking for a wardrobe of their own - to leap out of and pounce on their new family's toes :)

With a guesstimated birthday in Nov. 2022, this litter at 10 weeks has a variety of weights from little 6 lb Dirndl to 12 lb for Kira.

This litter was born to a dachshund mama. Our vet believes there are several dads as none of the pups are colored like mama (black with tan trim).

Kilt is built like a dachshund, and colored like a golden retriever. He has some fluff to his coat and short legs. He's the pup most likely to be found snoozing with another pup as his pillow.

Kilt is able to keep his crate dry all night. He's used to sleeping with other dogs nearby and sleeps through the night. He isn't reliably house-trained, but will run outside to potty when let out of his crate in the morning. When kept on a regular schedule of potty breaks every hour, he is learning to wait.

Kilt has learned to walk on a leash, but will pull to get to exciting smells. He likes other dogs and is learning good doggy social skills. He invades their personal space, as do most puppies, when he first meets them. After deciding they're friends, he plays gently with them. He barks at the foster's cats, but doesn't try to hurt them when he has access.

**********

Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we usually have to make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

If adopted into a home with other animals, particularly cats, your new pet should be crated or secured when you're not available to supervise to insure a harmonious relationship.

A vet reference is required to confirm responsible pet ownership. Requirement is a minimum three year vet history documenting current / previous pets are spayed / neutered, kept up to date on core vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. We suggest first time pet owners without a vet history look for an adult dog for companionship and to gain experience. Other rescues or your local government-run animal control agency may have different adoption requirements.

Adoption fee covers two vaccinations. Additional fees for 3rd puppy vaccination, refundable spay/neuter deposit, etc. may apply.

We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue. We receive no funding from agencies.

Not all foster dogs are available for viewing during public events, held most Saturdays at Tractor Supply (360 Blowing Rock Blvd) in Lenoir, NC from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We recommend interested parties contact us to pre-qualify for adoption so their new furry family can go home once paperwork is complete. Fees are required in cash. For more information on our organization, our website is www.petpartnersrescue.org.
