Rufus is a 15-year-old dachshund who is bonded with Daisy. Both pups take time to warmup, but once they do, they are sweet and loving. They were rescued from a shelter and are in search of a quiet home with experienced owners, and no young children.   Environment Both are crate trained and house trained too. Rufus especially loves to run, and sniff unfettered, as a result, this pair will need a fenced yard to get their exercise. They don’t necessarily need someone who works from home since they are fine in their crates. They both enjoy snuggling in their beds and relaxing in an open crate.   Pets & People Rufus prefers the company of Daisy, and the pair would do fine as the only dogs in the home. However, they are accepting of other dogs as long as introductions are done slowly and approached with love and patience. Separation at mealtimes is a good idea as he is a big eater and isn’t shy about taking other dogs’ food. With new people it’s a similar story—he needs time and patience. However, once he becomes familiar, he will steal your heart with his beautiful face and loyal nature.  Location Rufus and sister Daisy are available for adoption from Wheaton, MD. They are a little whiny in the car but will quiet down eventually.  Please email doxelovr@gmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the link above. The adoption fee for Rufus is $200.00
