Bruce - Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

***PLEASE READ ENTIRE BIO & ADOPTION CRITERIA BEFORE CONTACTING ODR Inc. or APPLYING FOR ADOPTION, THANKS!***


Meet Bruce!

Bruce is an almost 3-year-old, 17-pound black-and-tan Dachshund looking for a patient, experienced home. He is neutered, house and crate trained, knows basic commands, and loves fetch, tug-of-war, and cuddling under blankets.
Bruce has not been well socialized and can be very reactive toward strangers and other dogs, although he does well once he gets to know you. He has lived with another dog and children ages 3+. He also has separation anxiety, may mark when left alone, and is an escape artist who chases cars, so a securely fenced yard and careful management are essential.
Bruce will need a Dachshund-savvy adopter committed to helping him build confidence and become the wonderful companion he has the potential to be.

Like all Dachshunds, Bruce enjoys playing and warming their little bones in the sunshine, along with regular walks Bruce 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. Therefore we adopt to families who live in single family homes (or Duplexes) with secure fenced yards.

OUR CRITERIA:

Based on 30 years of experience with rescue doxies, we have found that the following criteria best sets up our doxies and their new families for success.

Do you work from home/stay at home/work part time? Have a securely fenced yard? We generally do not place same gender dogs in a home unless they were raised together. 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 and vaccinated. If available, they’ll come with a few goodies to get you started (food, toys and a harness). The adoption fee is $495, 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 Bruce a happy, carefree forever home? If interested, please complete the adoption application at:
