Who Is Freddie? (special obedience training) - Adoption Fee $150

Freddie is a cute little guy who needs a home with a single adult person (male or female). He does best without kids and has a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde personality when other people are in his space. However, he gets along great with other dogs, both large and small.

RMDR picked Freddie up from the shelter as a stray. Initially reactive, his fosters tested his DNA and have been working with Darcy at Dog2Dog on obedience training, which has transformed his life. Freddie is now a healthy and happy boy who is a sweetheart once you've earned his trust! He will need time to adjust to his new forever family, typically taking about 3 days, 3 weeks, and 3 months to feel at home.

About Freddie (when you have earned his trust):
- Mixed breed (small size poodle, long-haired chihuahua, shih tzu, etc.)
- Healthy and affectionate
- Blonde long hair (receives regular haircuts)
- Has undergone obedience training
- Enjoys "working" with obedience practice
- Super obedient and smart
- Loves to play fetch and gets along with other dogs
- Loves cuddles on your lap and under a blanket
- Strives for your love and is a "shadow" dog
- Follows you everywhere and is a great companion
- Excited to see you and does his "Freddie dance"
- Enjoys rides, LOVES water, sunbathing, and outings to stores and parks
- Loves ice and will sit in front of the fridge to play with it

How to Sustain His Training (Training controls his attitude):
- Managing his triggers is key to his happiness
- Training creates the leadership structure he needs at home
- E-collar* is a tool for good behavior (not worn all the time)
- In public, e-collar is on along with a leash
- E-collar is on around triggers
- E-collar is off during naps and bedtime
- He needs to be on a leash with any collar to guide him; no off-leash time away from home
- Grooming needs to be done at home; he cannot go to the groomer (bite risk)
- Best fit for a single adult or adult couple; no children
- His current trainer can be contacted to continue working with you and him
- *E-collar should not be used without proper knowledge

Freddie is being fostered in the Utah, and his foster family is available to discuss him with you if you're interested.

Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue (RMDR) has fosters located in both Utah and Colorado, and we encourage you to please check the location of the dog you're interested in to help us match you with your new best friend in your area. While dogs can be adopted to and from other states, RMDR must meet the PACFA requirements for dogs entering Colorado. If these regulations may affect the dog you’re hoping to adopt, please contact us at contact@rmdr.org, and we’ll be happy to provide you with further details.
