Allow me to introduce you to the one and only Rowan Burrowshanks! 🌟 This fabulous 8-year-old long-haired chocolate dachshund has a heart as big as his adorable little self. Weighing in at around 16 pounds, Rowan has quite the journey behind him. When he first arrived at Wagging Tails Rescue, he faced some tough challenges. 🌈 Due to an untreated spinal injury, this sweet boy couldn't use his back legs or urinate on his own. Now, after extensive care and therapy from the amazing Dr. Bradshaw at Agape Animal Chiropractic, he is walking again! 🚶‍♂️ He’s also regained about 75% of his ability to urinate independently, which is a remarkable feat! But let’s not sugarcoat it; Rowan’s got a few quirks that deserve a special family. 💖 He may need a little help with his bladder, needing to be expressed 1-2 times a day, but don’t fret, he mostly handles the tinkles like a champ! And as for poops? Well, sometimes they take him by surprise—like a free gift that arrives unannounced! 🎁 While Rowan is a joy, he’s also a sensitive soul. He gives warning nips when he's startled, so a calm, child-free home would be ideal for him. Rowan may take his time to warm up to new faces, but with patience from a loving family, he will soon transform into a buddy who craves belly rubs and gazes lovingly into your eyes. Those big, soulful eyes will make you feel like you’re the only person in the world! 😍 This little nugget adores squeaky toys, fluffy beds, and long, snuggly naps. Plus, he's got a built-in alarm system to detect anyone approaching your door—goodbye doorbell! 🎉 Though he’s a bit wobbly on his paws, Rowan has mastered the art of bath-time relaxation and loves being blow-dried afterward (because who doesn’t love a good pampering?). While he gets along with the other small dogs in his foster home, he prefers the quiet life of being the only dog or with equally charming companions. And let's be real; he cannot do stairs due to his back issues, making a cozy single-story home a perfect fit for him. 🏡 Rowan might not be everyone’s definition of a dream dog, but trust me, he’s ready to shine like the star he is in a loving forever home. Could your home be the one he’s been waiting for? 🌟 So, if you’re ready to be the kind of human who offers patience, kindness, and yes, a whole lot of love, then now is the time to step up!
