Wander Dachshund & Chihuahua Mix Portland, OR

***PLEASE READ ENTIRE BIO & ADOPTION CRITERIA BEFORE CONTACTING OREGON DACHSHUND RESCUE INC. OR APPLYING FOR ADOPTION, THANKS!***


MEET Wander -

Wander is a 10 year old, 10 lb. long haired Dachshund/chihuahua mix. He is a well-behaved and sweet dog who, despite his senior age, doesn’t seem to have slowed down. He is healthy and vaccinated but needs to be neutered. He is vocal, energetic, affectionate, and truly a people-loving dog. He gets along with other small dogs but could use more socialization. He does well in the car, is leash trained and mostly potty trained, but could use a little more training. Wander loves to be held, walked, pet, talked to and give lots of kisses! If you can give this sweet senior a loving forever home please fill out an application today!

Wander will do best in a family with a stay at home parent (work from home or retired) and only older children (over age 12), who are familiar with the special needs of Dachshunds.

Like all Dachshunds, Wander enjoys playing and warming their little bones in the sunshine, so along with regular walks around their neighborhood, Wander needs a secure fenced yard to run around and explore safely. While small in stature, doxies are big on personality and don't generally do well in apartments, with all of the noises and traffic that come with multiple dwellings in a confined space. To best set up our doxies and their new families for success, Oregon Dachshund Rescue Inc., adopt to families who live in single family homes (or Duplexes) with secure fenced yards.

OUR CRITERIA (aka The Fine Print):

Based on 30 years of experience with rescue doxies, we have pretty strict criteria. Do you work from home/stay at home/work part time? Have a securely fenced yard? We do not place same gender dogs in a home unless they were raised together, and children need to be 12 or older (some exceptions IF the dog is a puppy or the child has been raised with a doxie). We prefer non-smokers and a home with no other small animals (ferrets, hamsters, etc). Cats are on a case by case basis depending on the dog. Remember, these are rescues; many were surrendered because of these issues.

All our dogs are vetted, including rabies, DHPP, Bordetella, Dewormer, and nails trimmed. They'll come with a basket of goodies, food, toys and a harness. The adoption fee is $395, sorry no exceptions, as this covers the cost to rescue them, vet them and take care of them while in our rescue. It also helps towards the care of other doxies that come with huge vet/dental bills or need extensive behavioral training.

Can you give Wander a happy, carefree life again? If interested, please complete the adoption questionnaire at www.odr-inc.org and email it to: jrangan@comcast.net
The adoption committee will attempt to be in contact with you within 48-72 hours. Please be patient as we are solely volunteer run.
