ABOUT ME: Hold me like a baby and I will forgive you almost anything. I'm a short-legged, long-bodied doxie who picks a favorite human and commits hard: cream cheese enthusiast, professional spooner, and a surprisingly fast little lowrider once we're outside. New people take me a minute, so give me a calm intro and I'll come around. Otherwise, my ideal day is a crinkly toy, a snuggly nap, and you nearby.

MY FOSTER SAYS: "His three favorite things are snuggly naps, toys, and cream cheese; he's happiest angling for a bite of a bagel. Classic doxie move of "burying" his food with his snout before eating."

HISTORY

DJ Kyle Cooke came from Selma, Alabama, and traveled to Brooklyn in late July 2026.

DETAILED PROFILE

Meet the little dog who stops an entire block. Down low on dachshund legs, he does a lowrider waddle-trot that turns heads, then shocks everyone by being genuinely fast. But the real story is what happens once he decides you're his person: total devotion, constant cuddles, and a strong preference for being held like a baby.

At home he's a goofy, affectionate homebody with moderate energy who lights up for a snuggly nap, a squeaky or crinkly toy, and a favorite human within arm's reach. He's got classic doxie habits, including a tendency to bury his food with his snout before eating, and he's a bit of a foodie who's far more interested in cream cheese and a bite of your bagel than in standard dog treats.

New people take patience. He's reserved and cautious with strangers, sounds the alarm at first, and warms up on his own timeline, so he'll do best in a calm, adult-focused home with an experienced owner who's happy to advocate for him and keep introductions slow and positive. He can startle in unfamiliar moments, so he'll always need secure walking gear. He's fine with older kids but should not go to a home with young children.

With other dogs he's mostly neutral and can share a home with siblings they it may take slow, managed introductions and he may act like a tiny Napoleon at first. Overall, he's more people-oriented than dog-oriented, and cats are still unknown.

House training is coming along and his crate comfort is growing. For the right doxie devotee, this snuggly, loyal little king is ready to claim his human.
