Rosie is a sweet nine year old purebred red piebald dachshund. Her family moved and couldn't take her along. She spent her entire life with her previous family and needs time to adjust to a new living situation.
Rosie has beautiful blue eyes, one is smaller than the other (congenital issue). She had a tumor removed in September 2022. She's had eight years of excellent veterinary care and is in great health. Rosie is spayed and current on vaccinations, and as of her vet visit 11/9/22, she weighs 19 pounds. She will be microchipped before she leaves.
Rosie lived with three other small-breed dogs (all younger than her), and she did very well. She's selective about which dogs she's making friends with in her foster home, and has gone after other dogs (almost exclusively female dogs). She needs to be placed in a home without other female dogs for her own safety. Rosie can be food aggressive toward other animals (cats included), but not toward humans. She needs to be fed in her own area away from other pets. Rosie is a dachshund and as such she cannot live with rabbits or other small pets - she will try to kill them.
Kids are no problem. Rosie loves her two-legged foster siblings (ages 9 and up). She has a good recall (most of the time) while in a fenced area (poor recall if allowed to run loose), but she walks well on a leash. She does well being let out every three hours throughout the day, but will have accidents if she's not let out regularly. Her previous home left potty pads on the floor, her foster home relies on outdoor potty training. Rosie does howl and cry if she thinks she is home alone. She would do best in a home with someone who can be with her full time - or can bring her with them to work - or can have a pet nanny or dog sitter with her at all times.
Rosie's original family would like to stay in touch and get updates if at all possible. Rosie is available for adoption to an approved home that can meet her specific needs. Her adoption fee is $375.

Additional adoption info
Our adoption application is available online through our website.
We require an application and veterinary reference, to be considered for adoption. Once we have approved your application, we do require an in-person visit (arranged in Brainerd/Baxter, Little Falls, or Staples). We no longer do home checks. If you meet the pet and everything goes well, you will be asked to pay their adoption fee, and sign an adoption contract.
All cats and dogs over six months old are spayed/neutered; puppies and kittens under six months old require a spay/neuter deposit which is refunded if proof of sterilization is returned by the time the pet is seven months old. All canines and felines are vaccinated for rabies (if 12 weeks or older), dewormed, given a flea/tick prevention, and microchipped before going to their new homes.
