He is so happy to feel safe and loved in rescue. Life has not been easy for this little man, and he loves the good life. Will you give him the life he so deserves? <br/><br/>He is fostered in the tiny town of Cascadia, about an hour from Sisters, Eugene, Corvallis, Salem. About 2 hours from Newport and Portland. We will meet partway for folks traveling from a distance.<br/><br/>He is cuddly, enjoys being warm, napping in a lap or by the wood stove. He likes car rides, other dogs, food and squeaky toys. He enjoys a walk. <br/><br/>Like many of his Dachshund brethren, Arfie will bark at times, mostly when hearing or seeing new things. On his one city walk in Portland, Arfie barked at passing dogs and humans. He barked at the novelty, rather than due to reactivity. We believe that with time, Arfie will decrease his barking, both via living the good life and rewards for "quiet".<br/><br/>Arfie is about 85-90% housetrained, and does well when his humans' take him out and rewarding success with a treat. <br/><br/>He is neutered, micro-chipped, vaccinated and de-wormed. His adoption fee is $400. <br/><br/>Given Arfie's past, we think it best if he has an adult only family. Dog savvy and gentle teens are fine. Arfie met a cat in a room and barked a bit but was not prey driven. We do not know if he would live with a cat well. <br/><br/>A great home and must haves for this boy include:<br/><br/>1. An owned home with a securely fenced yard. <br/>2. Folks not gone for a whole workday.<br/>3. Dachshund and rescue experienced adopters. <br/>4. People who will include Arfie in their fun activities and who want to show him how much fun life can be. <br/><br/>If you meet all above criteria, don't wait to inquire or apply!
