History: Doc is a super adorable little boy who needed a second chance to a good life. He is working hard on his trust and confidence building and hopes to find a patient family of his very own soon!
A Note from the Foster: Doc is a very special 3-year-old dachshund who will need a special forever family due to his vision impairment. He does have both eyes, but his left eye is significantly smaller than normal, and he likely has little to no vision. He has some vision out of his right eye, but he has mature cataracts, so his vision is likely fuzzy at best.
He doesn't let his limited vision slow him down though! Doc is a social boy who just wants attention and love and to be close to his people. His favorite things include belly rubs, sniffing around the yard, cuddles, burrowing in cozy blankets, and taking naps in his kennel. He's doing great with potty training and sleeps quietly in his kennel through the night. He's starting to come out of his shell and show his playful, goofy side with zoomies and toys. He's a smart boy who wants to please and he'll likely thrive with some training. He's such an amazing boy who will make a wonderful companion for the right family.
Adoption Fee: $750 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
