Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MEET BREWSTER
Brewster is a very handsome, well-behaved 3.5 year old, 15 lb, long haired chocolate tweenie Dachshund. If you love chocolate, then he is the perfect little guy for you. He is good with both cats and dogs, though he shies away from smaller children (never bites or growls – just hides from them). He is a very friendly, happy boy and knows basic commands. Brewster is house trained, car trained and leash trained and LOVES to go for walks and rides in the car. He also loves to play with balls and he'll come running when he hears a hair dryer. He likes to stand between your legs until you pet him. Brewster will comfortably sleep with his humans too, so he will keep you company. Brewster loves the pool too. If it’s small enough, he will jump in and then get back out and roll in the dirt. Brewster loves going to the groomers and getting his hair done. During the summer months especially, he likes to keep it trimmed so he stays cool.
Brewster’s previous family has experienced some recent changes in circumstance so they’re no longer able to care for him and they’ve asked Oregon Dachshund Rescue, Inc. to help him find a loving forever family. BREWSTER will do best in a family with a stay at home parent (work from home or retired) and only older children (over age 12), who are familiar with the special needs of Dachshunds.
Like all Dachshunds, BREWSTER is high energy and enjoys playing and warming his little bones in the sunshine, so along with regular walks around his neighborhood, BREWSTER needs a secure fenced yard to run around and explore safely. While small in stature, doxies are big on personality and don't generally do well in apartments, with all of the noises and traffic that come with multiple dwellings in a confined space. To best set up our doxies and their new families for success, ODR, Inc., adopt to families who live in single family homes with secure fenced yards.
OUR CRITERIA (aka The Fine Print):
Based on 30 years of experience with rescue doxies, we have pretty strict criteria. Do you work from home/stay at home/work part time? Have a securely fenced yard? We do not place same gender dogs in a home unless they were raised together, and children need to be 10 or older (some exceptions IF the dog is a puppy or the child has been raised with a doxie). We prefer non smokers and a home with no other small animals (ferrets, hamsters, etc) Cats are on a case by case basis depending on the dog. Remember, these are rescues; many were surrendered because of these issues.
WHAT YOU GET IN RETURN WITH YOUR LITTLE RESCUE:
All our dogs are fully vetted, including spay/neuter, rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, Pyrantyl, nails trimmed, and dental when needed. They'll come with a basket of goodies, food, toys and a custom made harness. The adoption fee is $395, sorry no exceptions, as this covers the cost to rescue them, vet them and take care of them while in our rescue. It also helps towards the care of other doxies that come with huge vet or dental bills or need extensive behavioral training.
Can you give BREWSTER a happy, carefree life again? If interested, please complete the adoption questionnaire at www.odr-inc.org and email it to: jrangan@comcast.net. The adoption committee will attempt to be in contact with you within 48-72 hours. Please be patient as we are solely volunteer run.
