Story
Meet Rolf Rolf is a 6–7-year-old, 28.2-pound chocolate dachshund mix with the shiniest red-brown coat, a very regal look, and the gentlest soul. He came from a heartbreaking hoarding case in Louisiana involving 36 dogs living in horrible conditions, but even after all he has been through, Rolf remains incredibly sweet, soft, and full of love. Rolf is the kind of dog who wants to trust so badly, and you can see that in everything he does. He may not always climb directly into your lap on his own, but he is more than happy to snuggle beside you in a dog bed or pile of blankets and soak up affection. When he wants attention, he will quietly come over and rest his head on your lap in the sweetest way. Rolf loves playing with the other dogs in the yard, rolling around with his brothers, and then settling down with a good chew bone. He is wonderful with all dogs, from 66-pound pit bulls to tiny 16-week-old puppies. Rolf loves to play ball and has that classic dachshund playfulness that makes him so fun to watch. He is a pretty confident little dude now, and it has been wonderful to watch him come into himself. Rolf is clean in his crate and does well both at night and during the day when needed. He is also doing well going outside to potty. He eats well in a group, has been gaining weight on Purina dog food, and is doing great in foster care. He is good with kids and teens. Rolf is good with both men and women. After working with him, Rolf now does well on a leash. He also does well with a low fence. Rolf had a brief meeting with cats and did well. He was curious and gently tried to play, but when the cats made it clear they were not interested, he simply found a pile of blankets and laid down. What makes Rolf so special is how sweet and hopeful he still is. He does not demand attention — he just quietly asks for love and safety in the gentlest ways. Rolf is neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, and on preventions. Rolf is ready for a home where he can keep building trust and finally be loved the way he deserves.If you are looking for a sweet, gentle little dog with a soft heart, a playful spirit, and a regal little presence, Rolf may be your perfect match. He has arrived in NY in foster care waiting for his forever home. Please fill out an adoption application to have him join your family. His $250 adoption fee covers medical care up to adoption to include vaccines, neuter, microchip, foster care and transportation from Louisiana to NY.
