Here's what the humans have to say about me:
ROCKFORD (but likes to be called Rocco). UPDATE: VERY GENTLE, NON BARKER. He is timid but not at all aggressive -- very gentle. Once you gain his trust, it is permanent. Friendly with other dogs.
Rocco is a one year old black and tan dachshund (15.5 pounds). Rocco was scrawny when he came to us, but his weight has crept up a bit, and he now could use a bit of a diet. (Happens to the best of us, doesn't it? If you are dieting he'd love to share veggies with you.) He is a muscular and sweet loving fellow. He loves being here at the rescue and feels safe in his big wire crate filled with warm blankets from the dryer. This is a young pup so with love and understanding that he is now receiving he will be an awesome forever companion. We can tell you his full story when you meet him. He is very shy when he first meets you, and so he doesn't "show" as well as some very friendly pups. But please, give this guy a chance and you will see how special he is. He will be your loyal and loving companion.
The adoption fee is $295, no exceptions. The fees include spay/neuter, rabies, dhpp, bordetella, pyrantel, advantage treatment, grooming including nails, as well as complete exam at our doxie vet. Each dog comes with all new doxie halter, new toys and blankets. All in all, an investment greater than the adoption fee. Please go to www.odr-inc.org. We have very strict adoption guidelines because we require an escape proof fenced yard and someone who is home most of the day. Kids over 10 are ok, but no cats less they've been raised with them, or other small prey animals (these are hunters). If our requirements sound like a good fit, please complete the questionnaire and email it to jrangan@comcast.net. ====== Please wait to call until we have your information. We're busy trying to find the best homes for all the wonderful dachshunds we have. The best way to get an answer is by email. We make every effort to respond within 24 hours.
