A Good Samaritan rescued him when she saw he had on a Shock Collar, and his neck was all bloody. She just could not leave him with that family. She took him home but he did not get along with her two males and did not like chickens or cats. So, she asked us to take him. Talk about SWEET!!! He is loving and friendly to people, and you can just tell he wants to be held and cherished, and that is where you come in. He will follow you everywhere by sound and smell, just not sight. It was confirmed by our vet that he is blind but do not feel sorry for him; he’s not sorry since it’s the only thing he’s known. But please make his story a happy one, please apply to adopt him! Our must-haves for sweet Obie include: A fenced yard is a must Someone who is home quite a bit as he loves his people but he will patiently wait for you to get home He can be an only dog or a pal around with a submissive female Someone who has experience with blind dogs is preferred and the best for him No apartments, high-rises, or condos (anything with shared walls) No stairs (meaning no bi- or tri-level homes); any other stairs, such as those to the yard, must be blocked off He’s waiting, please don’t make him wait too long, you will not regret it. Everyone that meets him knows how sweet he is. Also, if you are not within driving distance, we will help with transport. His Halo will go with him to his new home to use when he’s in strange places, to help him not run into things. ============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ============== AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund’s back or get bitten. If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed on the bio form. They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. There will be an additional $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state in which they are being fostered. We will not adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have any issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures. To understand the adoption process through AADR, please review the Adoption Information on our home page. Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.
