Roscoe the dachshund might be the loving boy you’ve been searching for. Roscoe is a sweet, snuggly guy with a cute personality. He’s about 2-3 years old and weighs 13 lbs. This handsome black, brown, and white pup came to Little Paws because he was too active for his previous owner, but he’s really just looking for someone who appreciates his loving nature. Environment Roscoe is a medium-energy dog who loves his daily walks and playtime. He’s great on leash and absolutely loves going for walks and adventures. While he’d enjoy having a fenced yard to roam, it’s not a requirement. If he does have one, note that Roscoe has some small prey drive and enjoys chasing squirrels and chipmunks. This sweet boy doesn’t like to sit on tile or hardwood floors (he prefers softer surfaces), and he’s not a fan of rainy weather or umbrellas. He can be startled by loud noises like cars backfiring or fireworks and might try to flee in those situations, though thunder doesn’t bother him at all. Unlike many dachshunds, Roscoe doesn’t like to burrow and instead prefers playing with soft plush toys and balls over squeaky toys. Roscoe does have separation anxiety and really needs someone who can be with him most of the time. He’ll sleep in his crate on his own with the door open, but when left alone he barks, cries and whines (which is why he needs a home without shared walls). He’s happiest when he has his people nearby and never barks when someone is home. Pets & People Roscoe is great with people of all ages, including respectful children, though he can be a bit timid if people move too fast around him. He’s very bonded to his people and tends to bond with women a little faster than men. While he might growl when new people first enter the house and can be timid with strangers initially, he warms up quickly once he gets to know you. Currently in a home without other dogs, he does fine around other dogs he meets and mostly ignores them, preferring to focus on his humans. Around food, Roscoe eats his breakfast and dinner pretty quickly but is extremely gentle with treats. He’s well-mannered and knows to sit before receiving any food. Health Roscoe is currently Ehrlichia positive and Heartworm positive, but with proper treatment he can live a happy, healthy life. Location Roscoe is available for adoption from Hendersonville, NC and he’s perfect in the car - he loves car rides and falls asleep during travel, so he can travel within reason to meet his new family.
