About
Due to the current situation with the COVID-19 (Corona) virus, in-person home visits are not possible at this time. Since this is a very important part of finding the best home for our dogs, we are not accepting any applications from first-time pet owners, applicants who have not had a pet in the past 3 years, or applicants who cannot furnish vet records. We hope you understand and that you will consider applying to adopt once restrictions have been lifted.
Rupert is a great dog!!! He’s a cute buff Dachshund mix, approximately 2 years old and weighing in at 18 lbs. He will also come to the names “Ruppie” or “Rupe Rupe”. He LOVES kids, but he’ll steal food out of little kids’ hands, so older kids would be better. He especially loves it when kids throw toys for him. He would love to steal your food, but he’s learned to sit next to me and refrain.
He sleeps curled up in a little ball by my side, but he’ll also sleep in his dog bed if I want some space. He’s good with sleeping in. He loves to be outside in the sun. He plays with every single toy at his disposal. He will steal your laundry for toys as well.
He very sweetly trusts me to touch his feet and ears. He wants to play with other dogs, but is totally fine just hanging out instead. He’s very shy with strangers, but warms up within a half hour or so. He definitely wants to be petted over another dog, so he’ll warm up even faster if there’s another dog in the mix (in the sweetest way possible).
Rupert is house trained (unless it is raining). He uses a doggie door, but you have to make sure he goes out when it’s raining or really cold. He’s marked a few times when I’ve taken him to friend’s houses, so you might use a belly band.
He really loves meal time, but has learned to wait in his “place” while I get his meal together and he sits to wait for permission to eat. He loves to go on walks! He barks to protect the house when he’s supposed to, and doesn’t when he’s not. He doesn’t love the car, but he has warmed up to it.
He has a fear of missing out, so he’s not a fan of the kennel, especially if you’re home. This boy is sweet and smart. He’ll make an awesome addition to a family.
