Kaiser

Just look at that face!!! This is Kaiser, who came into rescue after his owner died. Kaiser is a wirehair dachshund mix who looks just like Benji.
If you need a fast walking or slow jogging partner Kaiser is the one for you!! He is a great motivational exercise partner—he needs at least 30 minutes of good exercise twice a day. Kaiser likes to be the center of attention, making sure he gets his share of the affection. He is very sweet and loving to his human companions and likes to stay close by his human----he follows me around the house and lies down to sleep in whatever room I'm in at the time.
Kaiser was recently neutered, given his annual shots, is heartworm negative and has gorgeous, pearly white teeth. We have a doggie door here, which Kaiser learned immediately. He has done awesome going outside to do his business when he needs to. He also will go potty outside when taken out on a leash. Kaiser doesn’t hang out much outside unless we are out there doing yard work or on the patio. He does love to play fetch---bringing the ball back to you for more, most of the time!
Unfortunately, right now, he doesn’t make a very good first impression when people visit. Kaiser has a fear of strangers and will do a low growl at new people. We are working on this behavior, exposing Kaiser frequently to strangers. He has not bitten anyone, but because of his growl people think he is aggressive. New owners will need to continue to work with Kaiser and instruct strangers how to approach him so he doesn’t feel threatened. Children would need to be watched closely around him.
We have 7 other dogs here in foster care and Kaiser has gotten along with all but one. For some reason these 2 are like brothers that just annoy and rub each other the wrong way. We have had a few very intense fights, including biting each other, so because of this, I am looking for new owners to be firm and definitely the ones in charge. Kaiser would be an awesome companion dog and would probably do well with most other dogs if they tend to be on the submissive side---Kaiser wants to be the dominant one in the pack.
Even though Kaiser has a few issues to work out, I feel with a loving, committed owner that is willing to spend some time molding this young guy, the rewards of a wonderful, sweet dog will be the result.
If you would like to adopt Kaiser, please fill out an application and put his name on it. If you'd like more info. about Kaiser or have any questions, you can email his foster mom at kbthill@gmail.com
