Samson's Story

Samson is a nearly 5-year-old dachshund who is very overweight and is on a weight-loss journey. He was 32 pounds when he arrived and is now at 30 pounds. He had a UTI when he arrived, but is now on antibiotics and feeling better. Samson is fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. He will need a basic dental before he is adoptable. This boy is super sweet, but has separation anxiety and some food anxiety. We have started him on medication to help. His ideal forever home: *Work from home or retired, as this boy has separation anxiety *Active home that will be committed to daily walks until he is no more than 18 pounds *A small and friendly female companion dog would be ideal as he used to have one as a companion. *Home with a securely fenced yard TO be considered for Samson, please apply on our website: https://www.portlanddachshundrescue.org/adoptionform

Portland Dachshund Rescue, Inc.'s Adoption Policy

OUR CRITERIA There's nothing better than a successful match. We like to explain the process of finding the right rescue dog as being similar to online dating: You will want to check our site often to see who is new, read each bio and reach out if you think they might have found someone special. Our adoption team is highly skilled at helping you find a dog with the right personality that will fit your family and lifestyle. Occasionally, we receive multiple promising applications for a dog and ultimately match the dog with the home where we think they will do best. We are committed to helping you find a dog even if you don't "match" on your first attempt. We would love nothing more than to help you find the forever dog of your dreams. Although we like to tailor each match, we do have some basic criteria we look with respect to adoptive homes: *Homes should be non-smoking *Have a securely fenced yard *Ability to commit to yearly dentals and shots for the pet *Willingness to purchase ramps and pet stairs to safeguard the dog's back
