Meet Wicket W. Warrick named after his look-a-like, Wicket the Ewok from Star Wars!  This young little scruffy guy came to DDRTX from the Austin Animal Care Shelter as a stray. 

Wicket is a silly little guy.  He will be 1 year old on June 1st, 2023 and weighs around 9 pounds, he has already learned what he likes and doesn't like.  He likes playing with small dogs but does not like big dogs at all.  He likes "Mom" humans but does not like "Dad" humans.  He likes being close to where everyone is in the home and does not like being left out.  There are quite a few things on his Love List:  he loves laps and cuddles, he loves playing with toys, he loves running around the yard, he loves barking at noises, and he would love a forever home! 

He's really gotten the hang of the harness and leash, loves cuddling in the big bed but will sleep in his own doggy bed too.  He's a very curious puppy and his dachshund really comes out when he is "sniffing a trail" and will explore the house and yard with excitement.  

Wicket is looking for his special forever home - are you his special home? Please put in your application if you would like to meet this spunky little frisky boy!
