Oscar - Dachshund and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Chalmette, Louisiana

5 year old, 15 lbs.,male dapple Dachshund mix. Oscar has been treated for Heartworms and made a full recovery. He's great with dogs, doesnt even pay attention to cats but not good with small animals. Loves people of all ages. Just wants to snuggle up against you, in your lap, and sleeps right next to you under the covers. He is working on housebreaking, which is understandable considering he really had no structure or trainings before he was rescued by a good Samaritan. Once he finds his forever home, on a schedule, housebreaking should be easy. He's a very sweet and laid-back little fellow. He just wants to be loved and with people. He will make a wonderful companion. He does get a little upset when left alone. So a home with someone who is home most of the time, where he can go with his people, or someone willing to work with him would be best. s

The dachshund is a small dog breed known for its long body, short legs, and distinctive appearance. Originally bred for hunting badgers, these playful and loyal dogs make loving companions for families. Dachshunds come in three coat varieties smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired each with its own unique charm. Despite their size, dachshunds are bold and courageous, with a curious nature that can sometimes lead to mischief. Their endearing personality and adaptability make them popular pets worldwide.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
