Shady and Romeo BONDED PAIR in Texarkana TX Dachshund Mix Texarkana, TX

Shady and Romeo are the most gorgeous bonded. Shady is a female dachshund with the prettiest color that first seems black but is really a rich brown…and the reason for her name. She is about 6-7 years old and she weighs 12 pounds. Romeo is a dark dapple Dachshund with blue in one eye. He is about 6-7 years old and he weighs 12 pounds. Both are vaccinated, spayed/neutered, tested heartworm negative and on heartworm preventive. Romeo had a back surgery years back (scar visible on his back) and has a permanent wobble in his wiggle (see video). He would benefit from ramps or easy stairs, good supervision, and crating when not being supervised, to avoid injury. This beautiful pair are ready for adoption.

Romeo and Shady made their way to rescue when their dad’s health failed and he required constant care himself. They were very loved and well cared for. The two have very different personalities. Romeo is outgoing, vocal, and confident. He LOVES treats. Shady is a gentle soul who gets very nervous of new situations and takes a good deal of time and patience to warm up and relax. Both are sweet without a mean bone anywhere. They had a few potty accidents early on but we have a better idea now of a schedule that works for them. Romeo needs a couple more potty breaks each day than some dogs, so he would have an easier time with someone who is home or who can let him out about every four hours. Romeo walks on a harness. Shady will too, but she is so skittish in new situations we would not move too quickly to walks in public, and take double care to make sure she is secure and can’t slip her lead. Romeo and Shady enjoy the company of other small, older/calm dogs (no bouncy friends!). They also have experience around family children but we would prefer a home with adults.
