Hi, I'm Mason! I came to Dakota Dachshund Rescue as a breeder release and I am thoroughly enjoying this new life of mine as a family pet! I am still very scared of new people and new situations - oh and loud noises or quick movements. This world is all new to me!  But if you are patient and kind to me, I will warm up and be your best friend! I promise.  My current foster mom is my best friend. I follow her wherever she goes - upstairs, downstairs, bedroom, bathroom, couch, you name it. If she is there, so am I!  Though I prefer she stay in one place so I can rest on my dog bed and keep an eye on her. My dog bed is my safe spot. Except when she leaves. I really, really don't enjoy being left home without her. Although I get along great with my fellow dog-mates, my foster mom is my favorite. But I do love running around my backyard with them!  That's about the only way I get my exercise because I WILL NOT walk on a leash.  My foster mom has tried and tried, but as soon as she picks up the leash, I refuse to move. So a fenced in backyard is a must for me so I can get my exercise! And the fence needs to be high.  I can be a bit of an escape artist. I already escaped from a temporary foster home once. It was terrifying, and I went missing for 10 whole days. I'm so thankful they found me, and don't want to go through that again!  So a nice, solid fence is important.  Do you think you have a spot for me?
