Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MEET SPARKLE -
Sparkle is a GORGEOUS three year old Black and Tan momma Dachshund of excellent breeding who was just rescued with her three 8 week old puppies and they're all being fostered with one of our incredible ODR, Inc. volunteers. Even though little SPARKLE has had a rough life so far and is a little nervous, she lights up a room whenever she is there - just look at that face! Her new forever family will be so lucky to receive her love and sweetness, and all they will need to give is love and patience to help her feel comfortable, safe and let her little light shine! She is learning to wear a collar and leash when she goes outside. Soon, she will also be heading to the vet for her full dental, and will be spayed when the milk dries. SPARKLE is very sweet, eats well and we believe will settle in once she knows she is safe. Do you have a lot of love to give to a sweet, affectionate, light up the room when she walks in Dachshund princess? If so, please visit our website at www.odr-inc.org and complete the Adoption Questionnaire to see if you're a good match.
SPARKLE 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, SPARKLE is high energy and enjoys playing and warming her little bones in the sunshine, so along with regular walks around her neighborhood, SPARKLE 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 12 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 $495, 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 SPARKLE a happy, carefree life that she deserves? 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 touch with you within 48 -72 hours. Please be patient as we are solely volunteer run.
