Archie (bonded to Frankie)'s Story

Meet Archie<br/><br/>Archie is a loving, devoted little guy with a playful spirit and a big personality. He’s the slightly more assertive half of this duo with Frankie, and the two are clearly best friends. In fact, Archie once casually took a bone right out of Frankie’s mouth, and Frankie simply let him have it. No argument. No drama. Just two best friends who apparently have their own arrangement. <br/><br/>Archie is a bit of a talker and will happily let you know what he thinks, but he has plenty of sweetness to balance out his opinions. He is fascinated by cats and genuinely likes them, which makes him a particularly charming little ambassador for the feline persuasion.<br/><br/>He also has a bit of an adventurer in him. In his foster home in rural eastern Utah, Archie enjoys heading out for walks on the dirt roads, exploring the wide-open landscape, and hunting for lizards. Ten acres of desert to investigate? Archie considers that an excellent doggy playground.<br/><br/>He loves to play, loves his people, and is happiest when he's with Frankie. Together, they make a wonderful pair: Frankie is the quieter, softer one, while Archie brings a little more confidence, curiosity, and dachshund commentary to the partnership.<br/><br/>Archie and Frankie are bonded and must be adopted together, for the adoption fee of $450 for both dogs. They’re looking for a home where they can continue their adventures side by side, whether that means exploring the great wide open, playing together, sharing bones (apparently), or simply curling up with their people at the end of the day.<br/><br/>Two little dachshunds. One very special friendship. <br/><br/>Archie is currently being fostered in Utah.<br/><br/>Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue (RMDR) has foster families in Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Montana, and Wyoming. Please check the dog’s location before your apply to adopt them. You will need to pick them up. RMDR DOES NOT TRANSPORT THE DOG TO YOU or transport them across state lines.<br/><br/>The Colorado Department of Agriculture requires that all dogs entering PACFA-licensed facilities have a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) issued by an accredited veterinarian within 30 days of entry. Dogs over three months of age must also have proof of a current rabies vaccination, including the vaccination date, manufacturer, and serial number listed on the CVI. Puppies must receive parvovirus and distemper vaccinations at least 14 days before entry.<br/><br/>These PACFA requirements may affect the adoption fee. For questions, please email us at contact@rmdr.org.<br/><br/>At RMDR, adoptions are not first-come, first-served—we carefully place each dog in the home that best fits their needs. Applications are usually reviewed within 48 hours. Every RMDR dog is spayed/neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccinations.<br/><br/>If you’d like to be considered, please start our online adoption application here: https://rockymountaindachshundrescue.com/adopt

Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue's Adoption Policy
Everyone is asked to review this. Please review the following so you will understand what we are looking for when processing adoption applications. This is geared toward the success of the adoption and permanent placement of the dog. They don’t deserve to be bounced around. We want to make the best match possible for you and the dogs with Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue. The goal is to find them their forever family and forever home. 1. Clean and cared for yard with no holes in the fence (secure area for dog to explore and potty) 2. Fence should be permanent and 5-6 feet tall and solid: wood, chain-link, cinderblock, or vinyl (not chicken wire for example) 3. Homes, apartments, mobile homes or condos with private fenced yards or courtyards work for dachshunds, but when you have shared walls with neighbors (barking), no fenced area (getting lost as they run or wander), stairs and no ramps (it’s hard on their backs/IVDD)–for dachshunds, this raises concerns, but your intent to take care of them is what matters. There’s plenty to learn along the way 4. Adopters need to be over age 23 5. Should not be planning to crate them for over 4 hours 6. Regular potty breaks, dog door they take themselves, walks or letting them out regularly 7. Working full time away from home isn’t a good fit for a dachshund. They love and need to be with their people. 8. Every dog with Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue has a back story and like every dog needs patience and unconditional love 9. Things considered include age of children in household and their experience with dachshunds. Dachshund and toddlers often don’t mix well. Dachshunds may nip if they are not treated with respect 10. Non-smoking household 11. Meet and greet with the dog(s) in your family required 12. Stairs and furniture–Willingness to use a baby gate to block the dachshund from using them. Carrying them up and down the stairs. When you pick them up, supporting their chest and under their stomachs to protect their backs (prone to IVDD) 13. All dachshunds think they can fly, jumping off couches and beds. Ramps and training your dachshund to use them is encouraged Dachshunds are part of the hound family, were bred as hunting dogs to hunt badgers. Characteristics such as ears folded forward (to keep dirt out), good scent detection, digging and a loud bark were valued in the development of the breed. They will bark. They may or may not dig, but they will almost certainly burrow under the blankets and they usually want to be with you.
