Hondje, Dutch for "little dog or little hound", found himself out and about in a southeast Texas town before the holidays. He warmed right up to a good samaritan, who took him in and found him a spot in rescue. Hondje is a sweet and loving boy, a bit independent and very stubborn, typical dachshund. He likes his people but is hesitant at first, until you prove to be worthy, then he will be your best friend for life! 

He is strong and determined, short and stout and looks like the quintessential dachshund. His color is dark red with a black overlay, a very handsome fellow. Hondje gets along with all other dogs (a bit jealous of his humans) but mostly happy and good with everyone. Stay tuned as we learn more about his personality and his interests.
