Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MEET RUBY -
RUBY is a sweet, tiny 5.5 year old, 7 lb, long haired black and tan female Dachshund princess looking for love. Due to no fault of her own, she is looking for a loving, forever family. She is a darling little princess with no issues or concerns. She had a bit of a rough time for a while (you'll see a spot on her nose where she had duct tape around her mouth), but this special little girl has not let that stop her from being a beautiful, loving doxie, and of course, the hair on her nose will grow back.
RUBY is house trained, car trained and leash trained. She enjoys snuggling and going for walks. To help her be successful in her new family, we believe that RUBY will do best in a family with a stay at home mommie (retired/work from home) with only older kids (12 years or older) who are familiar with the special needs of Dachshunds.
Like all Dachshunds, RUBY is high energy and enjoys playing and warming her little bones in the sunshine, so along with regular walks around her neighborhood, RUBY needs a safe, 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 RUBY 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.
