My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ten year old Luther has a story all too familiar to those in rescue. His elderly owner died and the heirs promptly dumped Luther in the shelter. It is hard to go from being a beloved pet to suddenly sleeping on a cold concrete floor with chaos and noise all around. Luther desperately needed a dental so his adoption prospects were non-existent in this small shelter. Lucky for him, SCDR tries really hard to save them all – even the older dogs.

In foster care Luther has really surprised us. We expected a dog on the slow track. Not Luther! When the other dogs play racetrack, he joins in. He loves toys and chewies. He is up for anything and you better not try and leave him behind when you are talking a walk!

Luther would prefer to not be crated, so at nighttime when he is about to be picked up, he rolls over on his back and gives us his best impression of a roly poly bug. It’s pretty darn adorable. He is really a very cute doxie with his wide shoulders and no neck. (We think he must have been a pro athlete in his younger years.)

Luther gotten along with all of the dachshunds in his foster home from the get go. He has had a complete dental and he is current on his vaccinations. Luther Is a chow hound so he needs to have his portions controlled.

If you are one of the special people who have discovered the joys of senior dogs, you will swoon over Luther.

If you are interested in Luther, please fill out an online adoption application at www.scdr.org and email Lindy at linla@comcast.net.

The tax deductible donation for Luther is $100.
