Available Dogs

Rooster is a very friendly 9 year old guy that seems to like everyone but small children. He was given up due to his Mom becoming a grandmother of little ones that visited a lot and Rooster was not happy with them. He acclimated himself immediately with his foster who was caring for a huge Bassett Hound, and they hit it off immediately and are great buddies. He walks well on a leash and rides well in the car. He is also used to being crated when necessary. He is housebroken and will sit nicely for a treat. He does not get many treats, as being a Dachshund, it is especially important to keep his weight down so he does not develop back issues. He also loves to cuddle up with you. Rooster has been dewormed, microchipped, tested for heartworm and other tick born diseases. He came back positive for ehrlichia and is on an antibiotic per protocol. He shows no symptoms. He was negative for everything else and was started on heartworm preventative. Rooster also has received the Distemper-Parvo combination vaccine, Kennel Cough vaccine and Rabies vaccine.
