Story
Hello everyone! I’ll like to introduce you to Kepler, the man, the myth, the legend!
Kepler is a 3-year-old, 8lb miniature dachshund who is ready to steal your heart! Kepler recently ditched his unfortunate past living situation and has decided that he is ready for a life of love and relaxation! Kepler can be a bit shy and skittish around new people, but a few belly rubs will get this sweet boy out of his shell. Kepler is pretty easygoing, and would enjoy a life balanced with playtime and nap time. Kepler loves a warm bed and a friendly human!
Kepler loves other dogs and cats, and has also shown little interest in bothering his pocket pet foster siblings. Kepler is a pretty chill guy! Kepler will open up better in a home with another dog or cat. He really brightens up when he has someone to play with. Kepler has not been too interested in toys yet, but he loves to get the zoomies with his foster dog siblings.
As for training, Kepler is a pretty standard dachshund (also known as being stubborn). Kepler is a bit high maintenance and does not like the wet ground, or the recent snowfall. His foster parents shoveled a specific area of the yard just so he would go potty! Speaking of house training, Kepler is doing well with a regular routine but may occasionally mark, especially in new environments. As he becomes more comfortable, this behavior continues to improve, and he will benefit from a patient home that can provide continued support and consistency. Kepler is still a bit high-maintenance, though, and has never marked his own crate or bed (he has standards, of course). Kepler is crate trained and does enjoy his crate. Currently, this is the only way he feels comfortable eating his meals, but he is starting to get more bold every day.
As for leash training, Kepler is not scared of the leash, but he doesn’t get the idea of a leash yet either. With continued training, Kepler will be ready for walks by summer.
If you are looking for a sweet little dog that needs a second chance on life, then look no further! Kepler is here and ready to be your next best friend!
Kepler is currently being fostered in the Cincinnati, OH area. HIs adoption fee is $450. To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt
All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.
For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.
We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.
