Peanut's Story

Hi! I'm Miss Peanut, a GOLDEN GIRL who loves life! My heart is true, I'm a pal and a confidant.<br/><br/>I lived first mom for 16 years, but then she passed away, so I've been staying with a nice RMDR foster mom and her dogs while I got checked over by the vet and had a dental. <br/><br/>As an older gal I have somewhat low vision, but I make up for that with superb sniffing abilities and am in over all excellent health! <br/><br/>I love to have a yard to explore and I really enjoy sunning myself! But my favorite place to be is in the GARAGE with my foster mom while she pots houseplants! Hmmm! The smell of potting soil is so nice. <br/><br/>I am housebroken, but I don't do stairs and I don't use a doggy door. I will need you to let me out every 2-3 hours to go potty. <br/><br/>I love to eat chicken and Roaster treats. I also enjoy short walks and especially CAR RIDES! <br/><br/>I get along well with other dogs, men, women, and kids. Not sure sure about cats and other animals, though. <br/><br/>I’m a really good roommate and hope to get to meet my new family soon! <br/><br/>Thank you for being a friend! <br/><br/>******************************************************************************************************<br/><br/>Miss Peanut is currently being fostered in UTAH.<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

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.
