Charlie

Meet Charlie!<br/><br/>Charlie is a male Dachshund/Beagle/Corgi mix born on January 14, 2025. While he is technically out of the puppy stage, he still has plenty of fun puppy energy! He is incredibly sweet and goofy. He enjoys running around with a toy in his mouth, in hopes that his person will chase him to get it. But he also knows when it’s time to calm down and snuggle on the couch. He is friendly to all people, children, and other dogs once properly introduced. <br/><br/><br/>- Home Type & Barking: <br/>He needs a house with no shared walls (apartments/condos). Charlie has a loud bark, especially when seeing triggers outside, welcoming visitors, or experiencing separation anxiety. Other dogs barking gets him barking as well. Charlie’s adopters might want to consider some kind of bark collar to help train him when it’s appropriate to bark and when it’s not. He doesn’t bark constantly, but when he does, it’s quite loud and startling.<br/><br/>- Separation & Kenneling: <br/>When Charlie’s people leave the house, he gets anxious. When he’s anxious, he has a history of being destructive. Therefore, he needs to be kenneled when he is left alone. Because he was always kenneled with another dog at his previous home, he is still getting used to being in a kennel by himself. His vet-prescribed Trazodone and a sturdy antler filled with frozen peanut butter helps keep him calm, but he will likely still bark as he gets used to this process and learns how to settle and self soothe.<br/><br/>-Socialization: <br/>Charlie could use some socialization. Getting him out of the house on walks would be great for his exposure to the world. He typically barks at passerby’s, but with more socialization, the goal is that he won’t be as reactive to people and dogs while out and about. <br/><br/>- Travel: <br/>Charlie can get nervous in cars and must be safely secured with a doggy seat belt in the back seat or in a kennel during rides. I think he just hasn’t had much exposure to being in a car – so there is a possibility this could get better over time.<br/><br/><br/>Charlie’s Dream Home:<br/><br/>-Someone who has the time and patience to work on basic training.<br/><br/>-Someone who is home most of the time and can supervise and keep Charlie on a predictable potty schedule (he is potty trained but needs extra encouragement while settling into a new routine). Also, because he has to be kenneled when left alone; someone who either works from home or someone home most of the time is important.<br/><br/>-Although Charlie loves having a dog companion to play with, he would also be OK as the only dog in the home too. He loves having the spotlight! He is very friendly to other dogs – so of course he would love having dog friends. But if another dog barks often, that will get Charlie barking too. He feeds off other reactive dog’s energy, which can create chaos! <br/><br/>-Someone who doesn’t mind puppy kisses (sometimes he can get carried away with licking and has to be reminded to stop).<br/><br/>-Probably a home without babies or small children (Charlie doesn’t mind them – it’s just that he might accidently knock them over with his playful, clumsy energy. And his barking can be quite startling if a baby or young one is trying to nap).<br/><br/>-Someone who is quick on their feet – Charlie can be a tripping hazard because he always wants to be right next to his people! A true loyal companion.<br/><br/><br/>Charlie is currently being fostered in Littleton, Colorado. He is looking for a patient, dedicated family who will guide him as he grows. In return, he will bring endless affection, silliness, and whole lotta love to your home.<br/><br/>Please let us know if you are interested in learning more or setting up a meet-and-greet!<br/><br/><br/>_____________<br/><br/>Charlie is currently being fostered in Colorado.<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
