Hello, I'm Silver

Silivo and Miles have quickly become best buddies!

Silver's Story

We adopted Silver, a 10 lbs 1 year old Dachshund. We did change his name to Silvio. He is getting along well with other dogs and all people he comes into contact with. He still has anxiety issues, but is significantly more comfortable since his first day with us. We have house trained him over the course of the two weeks, which is huge progress in our opinion. He is still scared of stairs and crossing the street, but over time, as he continues to learn from our other dog Miles, he should gain more confidence. He and Miles have quickly become best buddies, and we get to experience at least 20 minutes every night of the two of them running around and chasing each other in the family room. Silvio also enjoys daily visits with our neighborhood dog group, quickly rising as a fan favorite among all dogs polled.
