Roscoe is a 15-year-old red dachshund weighing just over 19 lbs. He was surrendered by his previous owner and has been steadily coming out of his shell in foster care, where he’s discovered the simple pleasures of freedom, outdoor time, and human affection. Environment Roscoe is a classic couch potato who’s perfectly content with the low-key life. He’s making wonderful progress in his foster home—getting more interested in exploring, more comfortable with humans, and learning to trust again. He finds comfort in his cozy blanket when he needs to decompress. With a consistent routine, he’s reliably potty-trained and gives clear cues when he needs to go out. He’ll also use washable pee pads at night as backup. He’s loving his crate-free life and adores having a fenced yard to enjoy at his leisure. He’s interested in walks and is working on his leash skills. Roscoe does best with someone who’s home most of the time and can provide the steady companionship he needs to continue building his confidence. He’s quiet enough for shared walls. Pets & People Roscoe is a gentle, calm boy with people who just needs a little time to feel secure. Once he knows he’s safe, he becomes more comfortable and affectionate. He’s wonderfully peaceful with other dogs—no drama, no confrontation, just an easy-going guy who gets along with everyone. At mealtime, he’s polite and respectful, eating his own food and leaving others to finish theirs. When he’s uncertain about something, he’ll retreat to his safe space (usually under his blanket) until he feels ready to reengage. Health Roscoe manages age-related allergies and joint stiffness with glucosamine for mobility, fish oil for skin health, and occasional Benadryl when he’s scratchy. These simple supplements keep him comfortable and happy. Location Roscoe is available for adoption from Chocowinity, NC and he rides well in the car. He may be a little nervous at first but settles right down next to his human for the journey. Please email msbakeragcgmail with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Roscoe is $250.

Overview:
The Dachshund, affectionately known as the "wiener dog," is a fascinating breed originating in Germany, primarily bred to hunt badgers and other burrowing animals. Their most distinctive physical characteristic is their long, low-slung body and short, muscular legs, a feature perfectly adapted for tunneling. They come in three coat types – smooth, longhaired, and wirehaired – and various sizes, from miniature to standard. Temperamentally, Dachshunds are known for being courageous, curious, and often quite playful, with a surprising amount of energy. While they are intelligent, their independent nature can make training a delightful challenge. Their small size and relatively low exercise requirements make them well-suited for apartment living, and they can be wonderful companions for families, though early socialization is key, especially with children and other pets. Regarding health, their unique body shape predisposes them to intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), so careful handling and weight management are crucial.
