OLLIE - DACHSHUND (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Adoption Fee: 300. What can we say about Ollie? Ollie's a cool little dude. He's about 15 pounds, he's 7 years old, he's fully vetted, he barks a lot but is friendly, and is just desperate for his own person. He came with Ruby, who has been adopted, and while he wasn't bonded with her, I think he was very used to being bullied/bossed around by her. He's starting to figure out who he is without the boss lady! Ollie is currently testing out being bossy himself; he will growl at other dogs who try to get on the same lap he is on, but I think it's just him testing to see who he is without Ruby. He is overall good with other dogs, big and small, and is not all that interested in cats. He's just a nice dog. I think he would love to be an only dog or with one or two other littles. He does sleep and cuddle with Snowbella, who was one of the 4 dogs he was surrendered with. Ollie is in Charlottesville, VA, and he is looking for his human(s)! Ollie likes men and women, and he's fine with other dogs and usually sleeps with them, but he definitely prefers sleeping with humans. He's a burrower! Ollie is a barker (can I just stop saying this? I think we all know all dachshunds bark-- a lot). Ollie is not quite sure about new humans at first, but he warms up quickly. Ollie will need to be watched and kept on a strict potty schedule in a new environment, as he marks when he's stressed, but our house is chaos with so many dogs. I'm sure he will be just fine in no time. Ollie's adoption fee is $300, and he is current on all of his vetting.
