My story

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

Oscar Bio

Oscar is a funny and sweet boy. He’s 13 years old, 18 lb and he’s bonded to his sister, Duchess. He likes to be outdoors, roam the yard, and dig holes if you let him. There’s nothing he loves more than attention from his people and napping. He’s looking for a loving lap to lay on since his previous owner sadly had to go into care.

Environment

Oscar is mostly house trained, but untested in a crate. He will need to be let outside often or have access to potty pads. He would love a home with a fenced yard because he loves to spend time wandering around outside. Neither he nor Duchess are escape artists, but they do need monitoring off the leash in case they get distracted. They love to be with their people and they are great on walks and only pull a little. They’ll be fine in a home with shared walls as they’re not very vocal. This dynamic duo are used to a home with people around a lot of the time, so that’s what they are looking for.

Pets & People

Oscar is very amicable with people, and only a little grumpy with other dogs if they get near his food. He loves to get pets from everyone, take Duchess’ lead on adventures and hang out.

Health

Oscar’s tongue hangs out because he has no teeth. It’s incredibly cute and doesn’t cause him any issues eating Kibble

Location

Oscar is available for adoption from Gastonia, NC. He’s good in the car so location shouldn’t limit your application. Please email Lauren.skufca@gmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Oscar is $250.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

6 Step Adoption Process

1) Application - (While we encourage you to let us know on your application if one of our dogs has captured your interest, we use this simply as a guide for matching and your listing of specific dog in no way implies claim to this particular dog)

NOTE: Adoption Applications expire 6 months from the date of receipt. If you have already submitted an Adoption Application and it has been longer than 6 months, you will need to fill out a new Adoption Application.

2) Reference Checks - All references will be checked prior to home visit. We will contact your current vet, if you have one, for a reference.

3) Application Review - Processor reviews the application, calls the vet if you have one, verifies vaccinations and spay/neuter. We email personal references (if email is provided) or call them if necessary. Email is best since as references can respond when they are available.

4) Home Visit - A volunteer will come to your home to visit with you and discuss care of dachshunds. Also, the volunteer will look for any potential problems and check to be sure that your fencing is secure. Your home visit does not mean you have been approved.

5) Approval - After the above steps have been completed all your information will be reviewed and a decision will be made about adoption. If at this point you are approved to adopt, LPDR will help guide you to the appropriate dog for your family.

6) Contract - For the protection of the dogs we place, everyone that adopts a dachshund from LPDR will be required to sign an adoption contract.

Go meet their pets

Are you looking for an opportunity to foster a dachshund? Fostering is our transitional step from a shelter/surrender to a forever home. During this time it’s important that we give each dachshund a safe environment where it can learn to trust again, to heal and to learn how to become a loving family member. Many of the dachshunds that we pull from shelters or receive from an owner surrender just need a temporary home until their new forever home can be found. Please go to our website (www.LittlePawsDR.org) to learn more.

More about this rescue

Little Paws Dachshund Rescue is a foster-based, non-profit animal rescue that specializes in finding permanent homes for dachshunds, dachshund mixes, and other small dogs. It is LPDR’s goal to identify abandoned, mistreated, or homeless dogs and oversee their treatment and well being while working to find loving owners for those in our care. We strive to make the lives of all dogs better through action, advocacy, awareness and education.
