Dachshund-Unknown Mix Dogs For Adoption in Charlottesville, VA, USA

Dog Breed: Dachshund / Mixed (short coat). Update on Scooby (now Rudy) from Abingdon! From his amazing foster mom: It's hard to imagine a sweeter, more fun loving little guy than Rudy!

He has spent two months in foster and is doing fantastic! When he arrived he seemed pretty bewildered by anything that had to do with living in a house, but has quickly taken to being part of a home and wants nothing more than to be involved with everything his people are doing. Need help cooking? He'd love nothing more than to be your sous chef. Want to go on a car adventure? He's the first to call shotgun. Want to go hiking or go exploring somewhere new? He's ready and able to help point out the best birds and squirrels. Need a cuddle buddy? He is a professional little spoon who believes firmly that the best sleep happens under a comfy blanket. Rudy was picked up as a stray with another dog, where they were likely dumped. He is a brindle mix of some kind and is approximately 7-8 months old and weighs 16 pounds and other than maybe filling out with another 2-3 pounds, is fully grown. He has done a good job of putting on weight since being in foster and is very food motivated. He is not food aggressive at all, but does have a hard time not sneaking any food that is left around, including from his foster dog sisters, so he does best when eating by himself so he's not tempted to grab some extra. He is doing really well with learning how to take turns when getting treats. He is great with kids and loves to be part of any playtime that is going on. He is also super excited to make friends with any dog he meets. He would do best in a home with a person/family that can give him a walk or playtime everyday. He would also do well with another active dog to play with since he loves to wrestle and run around. I imagine that he would be thrilled to take part in something like agility classes or hiking in the future. Coming from no experience, he has done great with potty training, but does need someone to provide some loving support to help him as he continues to learn. He can be somewhat hesitant around men when first meeting them and has perhaps had some bad experiences in the past, but with gentleness and care he quickly comes out of his shell and will love you with his whole wiggly being.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
