Fletcher has quiet a story so his final rescuer has written it below:

A friend called me last night telling me that he had this dog who had been abandoned (black dachsund) his name is Fletcher.  The story with Fletcher is that he had been bought by somebody and then this person didn't want him anymore so she left him locked in a house with a big bowl of food and water.  After her neighbors didn't see her for a long time and they heard Fletcher in the house, went in the house and rescued him.  One of the neighbors ended up "adopting" him for about 2 years.  This lady asked her friend to dogsit Fletcher for 2 weeks while she was working.  After 2 weeks passed and Fletcher still hadn't been picke up, the owner called and told her that she couldn't take care of him anymore and that she wasn't going to pick him up. It was a friend of a friend.... So now I have Fletcher at my house!

Fletcher's really good with dogs but with humans he's a bit different.  He is really scared most of the time and if you make sudden movements around him he sometimes snaps but if you put your hand out and let him sniff you, he's fine. 

This is what the orginal owner had to say about him its written from the dogs point of view:

I love to be were you are, at your feet or in you seat. Watching cars and chasing squarls is one of my favorite past times. I am crate trained and like to go in my crate if i am nervous or scared. I am not happy with thunderstorms. I will sleep with you if you let me. I love riding in cars. If i ever get away from you just hop in the car and i'll follow! I am pottytrained but if you leave a pee pad or newspaper down on i'll use that too! Give me space to run and you'll see how fast i can run on these little legs. Im known for eating the stuffing out of my toys. I love playing catch and playing with squeaky toys. I love to eat string cheese.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Dachshund (pronounced dak sund) originated in Germany many hundreds of years ago. "Dachs" is the word for badger. The Dachshund was bred to hunt and follow these animals to earth, gradually becoming highly evolved, with shortened legs to dig the prey out and go down inside the burrows. Smaller Dachshunds where bred to hunt hare and stoat. Dachshunds have many "terrier" characteristics. They are versatile and courageous dogs and have been known to take on foxes and otters, besides badgers. Lively and affectionate; proud and bold, almost rash. Tenacious. Can be willful and clownish. Curious and mischievous, they are very clever and may attempt to train the owner rather than allow the opposite. Devoted to his family, some fanciers feel the long-haired variety is calmer than the other two types. The wire-haired variety is more outgoing and clown-like. All are slightly difficult to train. Dachshunds are good dogs to travel with. They are best with older, considerate children and are moderately protective. These little dogs like to bark (their barks are surprisingly loud for their size) and are compulsive diggers. They are generally okay with other pets, however, they can be jealous, irritable, obstinate and very quick to bite. Sometimes they will refuse to be handled. They should not be over fed, for this breed tends to gain weight quickly. They have a life expectancy of 12-15 years.
