🌟 Meet Louie! 🌟 This delightful 4-year-old, 23-pound short-hair Dachshund mix is ready to bring joy to your life! Louie is not just friendly; he's a playful bundle of joy who giggles at the idea of frolicking with toys and playing with his canine pals. 🐶✨ Not to mention, he’s got a soft spot for cuddles and car rides—because who doesn’t love a good road trip? 🚗❤️ Louie gets along fabulously with kids, other dogs, and even the occasional cat! However, he is still learning the ropes when it comes to potty training and marking his territory—so a little patience and understanding will go a long way. Imagine it: a dog who can join in on family adventures with a bright spirit and an eagerness to please! How could anyone resist this adorable little face? 😍🐾 Now, Louie thrives in a loving family environment—ideally with a stay-at-home parent (or someone working from home), and older kids aged 12 and up who understand the delicate needs of our beloved Dachshunds. This lovable guy enjoys basking in the sun and playing fetch, so a securely fenced yard is a must for him to scamper safely in. Heck, Louie even has a big personality packed in his small stature! That’s why apartment living with all the bustling noise and commotion might not be the best fit for him. Instead, he yearns for a warm, single-family home where he can feel secure and cherished. 🌼 Oregon Dachshund Rescue Inc. has an established set of criteria for adopting Louie, driven by years of experience—are there other dogs in the home? Are there children under 12? And they only place same-gender dogs together if raised as siblings. 🤔 So, Louie is in search of a perfect matchup! Every dog in their care, including Louie, arrives vetted and ready for their next chapter, equipped with a basket of goodies to kickstart their journey into your family. While the adoption fee is $495, remember every penny goes toward ensuring that Louie and his fellow rescue pups receive the love and care they deserve. 💖 So, are you the loving home Louie has been waiting for? If the answer is YES, apply through the **Buddy App** and let the magic happen!
