Overview

Meet Marley, a charming 11-year-old black dachshund with a heart of gold! At 15 pounds, this sweet boy proves that you don't need sight to see love – his joyful personality and enthusiasm for life shine through in everything he does. A professional blanket burrower and champion snuggler, Marley brings happiness to everyone he meets.

Environment

Marley is looking for a home with a fenced yard where he can safely explore and adventure. While he's blind, he doesn't let that slow him down – he just needs a little extra patience while learning new spaces. He uses his crate as a safe home base and would benefit from consistent routines to help him navigate his environment. He's very content being left to his own devices, making him an adaptable companion for working families.

Pets & People

This social butterfly has done wonderfully with the other dogs in his foster home and loves to play! He's excellent with people, though he may do a quick head turn if surprised by a sudden touch – just his way of saying "Oh, hello there!" He's good with strangers and warms up quickly to new friends. Marley is quite the enthusiastic eater – he loves his food and eats very quickly, but has mastered the art of using a slow-feeder bowl to keep his mealtimes happy and controlled.

Health

Marley is in good health, taking just a joint supplement to keep him comfortable. While his blindness requires some special considerations, he's adapted beautifully and navigates life with remarkable confidence. He may need some extra support during car rides, preferring to be held or safely secured in a crate.

Location

Marley is available for adoption from Richmond, Virginia. Please email fmjones93@yahoo.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

6 Step Adoption Process

1) Application - (While we encourage you to let us know on your application if one of our dogs has captured your interest, we use this simply as a guide for matching and your listing of specific dog in no way implies claim to this particular dog)

NOTE: Adoption Applications expire 6 months from the date of receipt. If you have already submitted an Adoption Application and it has been longer than 6 months, you will need to fill out a new Adoption Application.

2) Reference Checks - All references will be checked prior to home visit. We will contact your current vet, if you have one, for a reference.

3) Application Review - Processor reviews the application, calls the vet if you have one, verifies vaccinations and spay/neuter. We email personal references (if email is provided) or call them if necessary. Email is best since as references can respond when they are available.

4) Home Visit - A volunteer will come to your home to visit with you and discuss care of dachshunds. Also, the volunteer will look for any potential problems and check to be sure that your fencing is secure. Your home visit does not mean you have been approved.

5) Approval - After the above steps have been completed all your information will be reviewed and a decision will be made about adoption. If at this point you are approved to adopt, LPDR will help guide you to the appropriate dog for your family.

6) Contract - For the protection of the dogs we place, everyone that adopts a dachshund from LPDR will be required to sign an adoption contract.

Go meet their pets

Are you looking for an opportunity to foster a dachshund? Fostering is our transitional step from a shelter/surrender to a forever home. During this time it’s important that we give each dachshund a safe environment where it can learn to trust again, to heal and to learn how to become a loving family member. Many of the dachshunds that we pull from shelters or receive from an owner surrender just need a temporary home until their new forever home can be found. Please go to our website (www.LittlePawsDR.org) to learn more.

More about this rescue

Little Paws Dachshund Rescue is a foster-based, non-profit animal rescue that specializes in finding permanent homes for dachshunds, dachshund mixes, and other small dogs. It is LPDR’s goal to identify abandoned, mistreated, or homeless dogs and oversee their treatment and well being while working to find loving owners for those in our care. We strive to make the lives of all dogs better through action, advocacy, awareness and education.
