He was adopted out as a puppy along with his sister in 2012 here in TN ...scroll forward 14 yrs. The rescue was contacted and told that he was found in a home with his deceased owner and his sister. They did not know how long they had been deceased. Only Otto and the cat made it out alive. We were contacted due to his microchip information. We discovered that his original adopter our dogs away without contracting us. BUT, we got Otto back and this won’t happen again. Otto is the sweetest, calmest old guy you’d ever want to meet. He looks at you with his big cow eyes and you have to wonder why anyone would want to give him away! Oh, by the way his mom was a Dachshund and his daddy was a Chihuahua so he’s a Chiweenie. We want to believe that there is someone out there that will give him his last, loving furever home. This boy is no trouble and just wants to follow you around the house and yard. He truly is a gem. Our must haves for this senior gentleman are: A fenced in yard Preferably another senior small dog since he lived with one, oh, and a cat would be fine, too. Please no apartments, condos or high rises Otto sadly lost all of his teeth except one canine due to no dental care but other than that his blood work is great and he’s in great shape except for the need to lose about 3 more lbs. Please give him that loving, last home. He really deserves a great last home. ============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ============== AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime.
