Meet Rover

Red rover, red rover, can I please come over?

Hi! Though my name is Rover, my friends call me Bob! I’m a 10 year old male Dachshund weighing 20 pounds. The first thing you’ll notice about me (aside from my dashing good looks) is that I’m a tripod. One of my front legs needed to be amputated. But, hey, that one was extra anyway! I get along just fine — walking, jumping, hopping — with just the three.

Since I’m an adult, I know the rules of the house. I am housebroken and will dance at the back door to let you know I need to go. I don’t clutter up your home with a crate because I am so perfectly behaved that I don't need one at night or when you go out. I am soft spoken — no barking unless absolutely necessary.

Any soft spot will do for a nap, I’m not picky. I am not aggressive in any way. Mainly, I’m a couch potato, content to sit on the couch and watch TV. I’m also partial to belly rubs, ear scratches, and cuddling. I’m easy-going and get along well with other dogs, small children, and anyone else who comes along.

My foster mom describes me as “wonderful, loving, loyal, and cute.” I’d just say, I’m happy when you’re happy. I’m a companion dog, looking for a quiet, loving life.

Come and meet me at the Adoption Show. There are many advantages to having a senior in your home. Can’t I be your tripod?

Please check our events page at http://www.SecondCityCanineRescue.org to find where this dog may be shown this weekend. If you are interested in adopting this dog, you must send an application or email us at adoptions@sccrescue.org prior to a Saturday Adoption Event so we know you plan on attending. If we do not receive any communication from you, the dog may be adopted out at our event prior to 12 pm if the perfect home comes along. :-)

The breed or breed mix listed for each dog is simply a guess. The profile software program requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. However, visual breed identification is unreliable. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog’s individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess. Dogs are individuals.

Please understand, we only adopt our animals out near Chicagoland... we are sorry but we cannot accept any out of state applications. We look forward to speaking with you!
