BIO: Oscar was adopted 2.5 yrs ago and returned to us in May due to the fact that he went down in the back. His previous owners were educated about dachshunds' weight and the risk of stairs but still allowed him to do stairs and get 6 pounds overweight. He is now back down to 14 pounds.
Our must-haves for this sweet boy include:
- A fenced yard
- CANNOT do stairs/steps
- No jumping or climbing
- Another dog to keep him company if you have to be out of the house
- His weight maintained at 13-14 pounds for his back's sake
- No apartments or high rise apartments or condos
- Needs a potty schedule
Don't think because he's had IVDD that he can't run because he can keep up with the best of them, which is why he has to have a fenced yard. He loves kids, people, and attention. If you are home a lot he would be just fine as an only dog. He is a major toy destroyer. He loves to go for short walks and doesn't pull on the leash. Oscar will always walk with a bit of a wobble, but it only adds to his charm. Please give him a chance at a lasting home, he so deserves one!
AADR does not recommend purebred dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a doxie's back.
