Almost 2 years ago, I picked out a puppy from Little Paws Doxies, but what I got was a best friend! I love my Wilma girl more than words can describe. Her love is infectious and her devotion to her people has no bounds. Getting a pup from Little Paws Doxies was the best decision I have ever made!

Working with Little Paws Doxies to find our perfect puppy was great beginning to end! They answered any and all question kindly and in a timely manner. Upon pickup we were greeted with Pepper and all of the lovely girls! Pamela walked us through everything we had to know upon bringing Pepper home and was very knowledgeable! I would recommend LPD to anyone looking for a perfect little dachshund!

+4It was so wonderful working with Little Paws Doxies and the Bruno family! This was our family's first time searching for a puppy and all of my anxieties and questions were put at ease by LPD throughout the process. We received timely, regular communication and I felt confident that Tammy was in the best hands before coming home. She is now our spunky, spirited best friend and we couldn't be happier. Her health has been perfect since we brought her home and she is such a quick learner. We would absolutely work with LPD again and recommend them to anyone interested in a Doxie!

Pamela and her family were very responsive and informative answering any questions I had throughout the adoption process. They were well prepared on the day of pickup and went over everything thoroughly. I am so happy with my sweet sweet Benny and can’t wait to watch him grow. I would recommend Little Paws Doxies to anyone considering adopting a mini dachshund.

+5From the moment I inquired about a puppy from Little Paws Doxies to this day I’ve had the MOST pleasant experience. The Bruno Family has been over the top lovely from start to finish. The entire process was easy but so joyful. I can’t thank LPD enough for the precious sweet girl I have and the most wonderful experience. I’m so grateful to come across LPD and Pamela and Sarah.
