Tattoo is a beautiful 7-year-old purebred dappled Dachshund who would like nothing better than to sit in your lap all day.

He likes to play with other dogs and is excellent at keeping cats and other small furry things out of his yard. He also likes well-mannered children.

Tattoo is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes.
