Story
My rescue was pregnant upon adoption and we kept one of the pups- Vader. He is very safe to be around and has never attempted to bite anyone or any other dogs, however he will bark at strangers while on the leash. Super sweet, he will sometimes knock us over to lick our faces. Obsessed with licking. He is a little reactive to strangers, but will warm up with time. Vader does very well at doggy day care however he will lunge at other dogs while I walk him on the leash. If you have other dogs he will need extra time to warm up to them. After this period he will shower them with affection. He sometimes can to tear up fabric, and socks if he is bored. (Carpet is fine) He is also crate trained and I keep him crated while at work. He doesn't have an issue with this. Vader is a sweet boy and he can sit, stay, give paw, lay down, and drop it if you catch him with a sock!

Story
PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION - OSCAR BREED - Dachshund/Beagle mix SIZE - About 20 pounds AGE - 1 .5 years GENDER - Male MEDICAL CONCERNS - None known BEHAVIOR CONCERNS - None known SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - Oscar is an awesome little guy who came to us in the fall from a central NC shelter. He had a noticeable limp so was evaluated at the shelter and determined to have a fractured right rear leg. Otherwise young and in very good health, we were super excited to bring Oscar into rescue and help him. Our vet referred him to the surgeons at the Virginia Veterinary Center for evaluation. The team met and felt that his leg was already beginning to form a good callus and given his ability to walk, run and jump on it, that he was in no real pain. He was put on strict cage rest to allow the leg to continue to heal on its own. Now, three months later, the X-rays show that the leg has healed and Oscar is ready to find his new home and family. And they must be a special family to match this special boy! Oscar loves everyone he meets! He is super sweet and playful, and would love a big, secure yard to play in. Fully grown at just 20 pounds, he is a perfect size for most homes! Oscar is neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. We are seeking a home with an adopter able to work from home or be at home the majority of the day to spend time with him. A home without large pets or small children, and with a fenced, secure yard will be required for his adoption. Our adoption process starts with your email to carerescue@aol.com or Adopt a Pet inquiry. After we receive it, we will email you our prescreening questionnaire. Your answers will help us determine that your home and lifestyle matches the needs of Oscar and our adoption criteria. Once determined, we will set up a private meeting with you and your family to meet Oscar at a park near our private kennel just east of Richmond. After meeting him and determining that he matches your preferences for a pet, we will accept your application. A home visit by one of our trained volunteers is required for all adoptions, and we will speak with your vet to ensure that you are a responsible pet owner.
