Bilbo is a sweet little old man with people he knows and trusts. He does not like strangers entering his house so we are working with a trainer to help him gain more confidence.
The vet places Bilbo at about 9 years old and 12 lbs. He was pulled from the shelter as a stray. Don't let his age fool you though! He is playful and loves to sniff up some adventure. In his foster home, Bilbo plays with the other Doxies and gets along with the big dogs great. He loves soft toys and antler chews. However, the moment he sees an open lap, he is ready to snuggle up. Bilbo likes sleeping under the covers in bed with you and doesn't move till morning. When snuggling he likes pressing his face into yours as if to say 'I love you!' He rides in the car well and his foster mom is working to brush up his house training. As many of us humans, Bilbo has some allergies he needs medication for. He will also need an eye kept on his teeth like a lot of seniors. Will you let this little old man share you lap?
If you are interested in adopting Bilbo, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to
dreamhappytails.org/adoptform.shtml. Bilbo 's adoption fee is $300. All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Bilbo will go to his/her new home microchipped, altered, heartworm tested, and up to date on vaccinations. Most dogs' veterinary expenses are greater than our adoption fees.
DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group, and we focus on the Atlanta, North Georgia and Savannah area. Because we are all volunteers, we can consider applications only within an hour of these areas. DREAM does not recommend purebred dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a doxie's back.
