Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Oso came into our rescue from the shelter. He tested positive for Parvo. After a week at the ER he recovered, and is doing well in a foster home. Oso is about 9 months old, and 11 pounds. He has hazel eyes, the longest body, and so much personality. He is so sweet, and all he wants is a lap to lay on, and someone to play with. 85% housebroken/uses pee pads, but needs a structured schedule of potty breaks as he is still a puppy. Playful with other small dogs, but still nervous and protective with new people , especially men. NO LARGE DOGS. The foster is working on walking on a leash, but Oso is very scared of leaving the apartment. He does well when left alone for 1 - 3 hours. He still needs to eat 3 times a day until he's a year old. Oso is neutered, and given his first set of vaccinations on 6/5/26.

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.
