Jack Sparrow 's Story

**Jack is moving to Colorado on 5/9/26!**<br/><br/>Meet Jack (being fostered in Denver, Colorado) 12 years young & still running on full enthusiasm<br/><br/>Some dogs slow down with age. Jack never got that memo.<br/><br/>Morning:<br/>Wakes up and immediately races outside — because outside is the best place.<br/><br/>The grand return:<br/>Runs back inside to greet you with a happy smile and a full-body wiggle. Every single time.<br/><br/>Mealtime supervisor:<br/>Runs to watch you prepare his food, just in case you need moral support (or drop something).<br/><br/>Your shadow:<br/>Wherever you go, Jack goes. He's not following you — he's adventuring alongside you.<br/><br/>Always.<br/>He just wants to be where you are. That's his whole world.<br/><br/>Jack has lived 12 years with nothing but love to give. He's not looking for a home — he's looking for his person. Could that be you?<br/><br/>Much of Jack’s history is unknown, but frankly, it doesn’t really matter because he is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet. All of the things that usually get dogs worked up just roll off his back: getting a bath, being blow-dried, going to the vet, getting his nails clipped, and being picked up to go in the car. None of it phases him!<br/><br/>He needs to lose a bit of additional weight, and while he struggles with his diet and will try to eat other dogs’ food if you don’t watch him, he thoroughly enjoys his exercise and is a very easy walking companion. He doesn’t pull on his leash, and he’s very patient while you’re putting his harness and jacket on.<br/><br/>Jack’s working on initial meetings with new people and dogs, and needs supervision, but generally is cool with others after getting to know them. Jack recently had a number of teeth pulled and the rest of them cleaned, and he has a tumor on his liver that does not seem to be affecting his quality of life or health. He takes medication for the growth on his liver that is administered once a day. He is otherwise in good health.<br/><br/>If you would like to talk to us about adopting Jack, please fill out an adoption application at: https://rockymountaindachshundrescue.com/adoption-application/<br/><br/>Jack is being fostered in Colorado.<br/><br/>Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue (RMDR) has foster families in Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Montana, and Wyoming. Please check the dogs' location before your apply to adopt them. You will need to pick them up. RMDR DOES NOT TRANSPORT THE DOGS 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

Meet Jack (being fostered in Denver, Colorado) 12 years young & still running on full enthusiasm

Some dogs slow down with age. Jack never got that memo.

Morning:
Wakes up and immediately races outside — because outside is the best place.

The grand return:
Runs back inside to greet you with a happy smile and a full-body wiggle. Every single time.

Mealtime supervisor:
Runs to watch you prepare his food, just in case you need moral support (or drop something).

Your shadow:
Wherever you go, Jack goes. He's not following you — he's adventuring alongside you.

Always.
He just wants to be where you are. That's his whole world.

Jack has lived 12 years with nothing but love to give. He's not looking for a home — he's looking for his person. Could that be you?

Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue's Adoption Policy
Everyone is asked to review this. Please review the following so you will understand what we are looking for when processing adoption applications. This is geared toward the success of the adoption and permanent placement of the dog. They don’t deserve to be bounced around. We want to make the best match possible for you and the dogs with Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue. The goal is to find them their forever family and forever home. 1. Clean and cared for yard with no holes in the fence (secure area for dog to explore and potty) 2. Fence should be permanent and 5-6 feet tall and solid: wood, chain-link, cinderblock, or vinyl (not chicken wire for example) 3. Homes, apartments, mobile homes or condos with private fenced yards or courtyards work for dachshunds, but when you have shared walls with neighbors (barking), no fenced area (getting lost as they run or wander), stairs and no ramps (it’s hard on their backs/IVDD)–for dachshunds, this raises concerns, but your intent to take care of them is what matters. There’s plenty to learn along the way 4. Adopters need to be over age 23 5. Should not be planning to crate them for over 4 hours 6. Regular potty breaks, dog door they take themselves, walks or letting them out regularly 7. Working full time away from home isn’t a good fit for a dachshund. They love and need to be with their people. 8. Every dog with Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue has a back story and like every dog needs patience and unconditional love 9. Things considered include age of children in household and their experience with dachshunds. Dachshund and toddlers often don’t mix well. Dachshunds may nip if they are not treated with respect 10. Non-smoking household 11. Meet and greet with the dog(s) in your family required 12. Stairs and furniture–Willingness to use a baby gate to block the dachshund from using them. Carrying them up and down the stairs. When you pick them up, supporting their chest and under their stomachs to protect their backs (prone to IVDD) 13. All dachshunds think they can fly, jumping off couches and beds. Ramps and training your dachshund to use them is encouraged Dachshunds are part of the hound family, were bred as hunting dogs to hunt badgers. Characteristics such as ears folded forward (to keep dirt out), good scent detection, digging and a loud bark were valued in the development of the breed. They will bark. They may or may not dig, but they will almost certainly burrow under the blankets and they usually want to be with you.
