Basil is a 1.5-year-old black-and-tan dachshund. He is a 14 lb boy who enjoys other small dogs of both genders.

This boy came with some trauma in his first home, but was saved by a kind soul who called our rescue. He has been a model canine citizen in his foster home: Is potty-trained, loves to play with other dogs, and excels at couch cuddles.

He is fearful to start, but quick to warm up, and loves deeply. His foster family says he will be hard to let go!

Basil would be best in a home that:

*Isn't very loud and has no kids under 13
*Has friendly and well-adjusted companion dogs
*Isn't gone long hours or has a staggered schedule
* Understands that Basil hasn't had a lot of "firsts" that dogs his age usually have, and can be patient
*A fenced back yard, since he could be a flight risk to start
*Gentle family members who can use a happy or reassuring voice with him

Portland Dachshund Rescue, Inc.'s Adoption Policy
OUR CRITERIA There's nothing better than a successful match. We like to explain the process of finding the right rescue dog as being similar to online dating: You will want to check our site often to see who is new, read each bio and reach out if you think they might have found someone special. Our adoption team is highly skilled at helping you find a dog with the right personality that will fit your family and lifestyle. Occasionally, we receive multiple promising applications for a dog and ultimately match the dog with the home where we think they will do best. We are committed to helping you find a dog even if you don't "match" on your first attempt. We would love nothing more than to help you find the forever dog of your dreams. Although we like to tailor each match, we do have some basic criteria we look with respect to adoptive homes: *Homes should be non-smoking *Have a securely fenced yard *Ability to commit to yearly dentals and shots for the pet *Willingness to purchase ramps and pet stairs to safeguard the dog's back
