Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Oscar is a beautiful little 3-year-old double dapple weighing in at about 13 pounds. Having one blue eye and one brown eye and a puppy face, he is the cutest thing! He came to us because his family wasn't able to care for him in their current situation. He is house trained, likes to play with toys, loves to be held and likes being outside. But when his foster mom is busy, he lays in his bed until she moves, then he's right behind! He definitely loves being in his human's presence. He sleeps in the big bed burrowed under the covers. He willingly goes into his crate but doesn't care for being left alone for too long as he was used to having someone at home during the day. We aren't sure how he would be with little kids or cats at this point. If you would like to meet this super sweet little guy, get your application ready! He's too cute to last too long once he's ready for adoption. Please see FAQs for current adoption fees. DDRTX only adopts in Central/South Texas. Email: ddrtxinfogmail Primary Website: .DDRTX

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.
