08-10-2024 Hasty has come to us from a breeder to find her forever home. She is an extremely worried girl, who is very overwhelmed to find herself here and is extremely worried about humans. She does not enjoy being handled as she is so worried about us and so can panic and choose to make the wrong decision if pushed out of her comfort zone. She will be looking for a calm and quiet, adult only home with adopters who have experience with scared ex-breeding dogs and who are willing to take things slowly at her pace. She will need at least one other confident resident dog in her new home to take her under their wing and show her that human hands can be kind and being stroked is something enjoyable. She has never lived in a home before so will need to learn all about home life as well as new skills like house training and how to walk on a lead.

Hasty is a very special little girl who is going to need a home that’s equally as special. She has a lot of worries and fears and really doesn’t know how to deal with them. I don’t think she’s been exposed to much in her life so she finds normal every day things quite confusing and daunting. She doesn’t understand that humans are kind, she doesn’t know anything about walking on a lead or anything outside of a kennel environment, and she certainly doesn’t understand why we want to touch her. Human hands are one of her biggest fears and she does feel the need to protect herself when needed.
I’m taking everything really slowly with her at the rescue because I don’t feel like pushing her is the right way to go, so at the moment I’m spending a lot of time on the floor with her just handing out treats. Food is one thing that she does LOVE, so this is the main thing I’m using to try and gain her trust.
Like a lot of Dachshunds she can be quite vocal, especially because she’s so unsure of everything that goes on. The more she gets used to be being around, the quieter she is getting, so I think she just needs time to get to know people and suss them out a little. I do think a Dachshund experienced home would be really beneficial for Hasty because I can definitely see a cheeky little personality in there with a lot of Dacs traits, but she just needs some help letting it all out.
Hasty will definitely need at least 1 resident dog in her new home and it would be lovely if they were playful because she really likes to wrestle and run around with her friends. She also enjoys chewing on toys which is always very lovely to see. I really hope she won’t have to wait long to find her perfect forever home because I know being in kennels is not helpful for her .. she just needs someone to come and give her a chance.

Hasty (we are calling her Hatty) has been in Foster since the end of November 24. She arrived as a very scared girl indeed, wary of humans and did anything to avoid any close contact.
She would make wrong decisions out of pure fear (petrified of human hands) she would squeal and urinate under the pressure of us getting too close and catching her was a task not for the faint hearted, and only with a towel or blanket. She would get herself into the least accessible position and defend herself as much as possible.
Despite all her fear she clearly has a big personality and is keen to investigate and follow the other dogs around.
She loves her food, perhaps a little too much and her diet is now restricted and she is fed separately. She loves treats and amazingly will take treats from my hand with a soft gentle mouth. She has a funny way of pushing my hand away with her nose in disgust when there isn't a treat to take.
She does make a lot of grumbling noises especially if there is food about and if we get near her space.
Although she immediately did like to follow our bed sleeping dogs upstairs and use a ramp for the bed she could not easily manage the decent of the staircase so she was restricted to downstairs.
Over the weeks Hasty began to accept some human presence, not quite interaction, and would jump up on the sofa next to my husband. He was not a threat to her and didn't put her under any pressure so she seemed more comfortable with him. A slight movement from him though and she would be off. She particularly likes sitting next to him and climbing on the back of the sofa to get nearer when he has food!
Fast forward a few weeks. Hasty settled enough such that I am now confident to pick her up without her panicking. She does crawl up the corner of a wall to accept defeat of being picked up and still struggles but if I'm quick she settles quickly. She does however spray urine in her fear.
After 2 weeks in temporary Foster whilst I was on holiday Hasty returned much calmer. She had not been put under any pressure to be picked up.
Back at home she becomes anxious when she sees me clearly at the thought I would be picking her up. I have picked her up and cuddled her on the sofa, she allows head touching and ear tickling and although she hates her feet being touched I am trying to get her used to that.
She was allowed to sleep on the bed with the pack last night but it caused her so much anxiety when she had to be picked up to be carried downstairs that I am of the opinion that the stress she's suffering from constantly being on alert to the threat I might pick her up just the once per day is more than the benefit she gets from being picked up.
I'm going to allow her more time to decompress and get used to us.
With new fosters coming in she will see that humans are not scary and although it's going to take a long time I'm sure she will become a well rounded happy dog and a lovely addition to an adult only family. She will need at least one kind resident dog to show her the way. Hasty has tolerated wearing a harness but harness training is on hold. House training is very much a work in progress but accidents are consistently in the same place.
Hasty will at this stage, need an adopter who is very experienced in scared ex breeding rescue dogs, and who is around most of the day and prepared to allow Hasty the time that she needs at her own pace to trust humans.
