Doogie's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Doogie, or Dougie if you prefer. Doogie as in Doogie Houser, maybe? Doogie is one of seven Dachshunds that Tired Dog Rescue brought in together. Doogie is a handsome long-haired low to the ground gentleman happiest in a home with humans that will care for him the rest of his life. Just look at his pictures. His personality shows. How could he not grab you?<br/><br/>Doogie is twelve years young, weighing in at seventeen pounds, he does have age related arthritis, which required a permanent regimen of Carprofen that provides him comfort. Besides that, he is in great condition.<br/><br/>He does not need to be an only dog in the home, but he would do well with you being his best friend in his world, just the same. Give him a warm, loving place to call home and he will show his gratitude. He can live with other likeminded dogs, or even with cats. Like cats, he just ignores them.<br/><br/>As for young humans, he is OK with them as well, so long as the kiddos are savvy enough to realize that Doogie is not a puppy. As for adult humans, Doogie is friendly with all, men and women equally.<br/><br/>Doogie is crate trained, in fact, he loves to hang out in his kennel, door open, and play with a toy or a chewie. So, a proper size kennel, although not a requirement, is a recommendation. A place in the house, all his own, to retreat to. He is so laid back that way.<br/><br/>Due to his history, he is not housetrained, so regular walks, or visits to a fenced yard would be great. When inside for any length of time on his own, he doesn't reject a belly band.<br/><br/>Doogie has not shown food aggressiveness, even with other dogs nearby. Being a mature adult, he has that patience.<br/><br/>Doogie was never taught standard commands but has the intelligence to still learn. Afterall, you can teach and old dog new tricks. Or he may train you. Either way, Doogie wants you to take him home to your loving secure home to live out the rest of his years with you.

Tired Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy
Tired Dog Rescue adoption fee includes all sets of vaccinations, heartworm test, fecal exam, spay/neuter and microchip. We also recommend that you research the breed that you want to adopt. Ask yourself....Can you afford the cost of a high maintenance dog such as a Cocker Spaniel or Shih-tzu etc? The grooming costs are about 50.00 every 6-8 weeks. Are you in a position to adopt a puppy which will require training? Can you afford the medical costs that might be involved in adopting a senior pup? We want every adoption to be for life so please think about what you can and what you are willing to do before considering each pet. If you are unsure please contact us and we can help answer any questions.
