Story
Name: Ramsey Sex: Male Estimated Age: About 10 months old (as of 3/1/25) Best Guess for Breed: Dachshund Mix Weight: About 15 lbs (as of 3/1/25) Lives With: Dogs, cats and people! Housebroken? Yes, he’s housebroken! Story: Ramsey was rescued from a shelter in North Carolina with his brother Gordon. We are so happy to have them safe and sound in a foster home in the DC area now. Ramsey is a happy sweetie who loves people and gets along great with other dogs and puppies. He knows just how to get comfortable up on the couch with his humans, and will love to join you on walks and trots around the neighborhood. Ramsey is just looking for someone to be his new best furend and we know that he will repay them with endless amounts of love and tail wags. Like all dogs, Ramsey will need an adopter who is committed to setting him up for success by enrolling in obedience training and exercising him both mentally and physically. He will also need love, patience, and socialization in order to thrive! What my foster says: Ramsey is the sweetest dog you will ever meet! He loves playing with other dogs and he is completely fine with our cats (even the mean one!). He is a bit shy initially, but it only takes a minute for him to change his mind and want attention from you. Overall Ramsey is a very easy dog! He’s happy just to lay in a dog bed near you while you work, and so far seems to be house-trained. He loves to be held and cuddled and will follow us around, but will also go get toys out of the toy basket on his own to play with. He loves squeaky toys and chew bones to occupy his time! Ramsey walks very well on a leash and loves his walk time. He is very quiet in his crate at night (in our room with us) but I honestly am not sure he needs one! We have never heard Ramsey bark, which is amazing considering his breed. He has a very sweet disposition so I believe he will be really great with kids. If you are looking for an adorable, sweet, affectionate, easy dog that you can take anywhere, Ramsey is your guy! The fee to adopt Ramsey is $475. That covers the cost of all his vaccines, his neuter, the collar he’s wearing, his transport to DC and his care in his foster home. He’s up to date on all age appropriate vaccines. Ramsey tested positive for Heartworm. This is a very treatable illness that is common in many shelter dogs coming from the South. Treatment will be paid for by the rescue.
