| Earl, named by a shelter worker was picked up as a stray in early January wearing a gray sweatshirt and collar. After no one came for him during a 10-day stray hold DRNA was contacted to rescue him. Earl is a super sweet boy who appears to have been well cared for in the past. Our Vet is guessing his age at 10 to 12 yrs. It is hard to know for sure due to him having very few teeth, but a sign that he had dental care in the past. Unfortunately, he lost his remaining 6 teeth in a dental he had last month. But don’t think that slows this dachshund eating…. just soak his kibble in some water for 15 mins and Earl gobbles it down. Earl gets along well with all the other dachshunds in his foster home both young and old. He even tries playing with the young ones. We have not big dog tested or cat tested him and think he would be fine as an only dog as long as his owner is home most of the time. His one quirk is that he doesn’t like going outside on his own especially at night. Not sure if this is due to him being lost and ending in the shelter or that he is use to be taken out, maybe on a leash. He is now crate trained, but would really prefer sleeping in the big bed as we think he did in his past home. All and all, Earl is a very good loving dog and just looking for a person and couch to call his own. So, if looking for a buddy to share your sofa and life with please think of giving Earl a loving forever home. *Mileage restriction will be waived if approved adopter is willing to come to Virginia Beach to pick him up. |
