My story

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

This little boy we think looks like a dachshund mix,
He is approx 4 yrs and 18 lbs.

He overall is a good dog. He does love love to run and play but since he does not like to share his food and can play rough, we feel he would be best as an only dog.

He will follow his foster everywhere and will sit at her feet when she is sitting down, he walks well on a leash and likes going on walks and riding in the car , his tail is always wagging

He takes a while to warm up to new people, but is your best friend once he does. He LOVES to eat so is very food motivated.

He seems to be pretty well house trained and is very smart he learns very quickly and would love a home with someone who can take him on walks .

He did have heartworms when we rescued him and has been treated with the injections per the American heartworm Society , we usually find the dogs test clear in approx 4- 6 months. He has been started on monthly heartguard and nexguard and will need to stay on them for life (as should all dogs)

He has a condition that is sometimes found in tri-color dogs and prevents the black hair from growing , it’s usually a genetic condition and means that the black portions of his coat are smooth - it is called black hair follicular dysplasia - He doesn’t need meds or any vets care it’s just the way he is

OUR RESCUE POLICY - It is our rescue policy for all our dogs that we require a home with no children under the age of 12, and experienced dog owners only.

WE REQUIRE VET RECORDS ON YOUR CURRENT OR PAST DOG FOR OUR REVIEW. RECORDS MUST SHOW THE POTENTIAL ADOPTER AS THE OWNER
