Adoptable Dachshund Rocky – Adopted

Adoptable dachshund Rocky has come SO FAR since we received him at Low Rider. He was hit by a car causing him pain and weak back legs. Since then, he’s regained strength and can now go on daily walks and runs a little bit when he’s excited. He’s had a hard life and deserves a home that loves him.

Foster mom says glucosamine is important in his life to keep him comfortable. He is a bit hump backed and it does get more pronounced when he over does it. Rocky is not up for long walks quite yet, but we are impressed with his improvements!

This boy gets along well with dogs his size. We’re unsure of how he would interact with cats and small children. He seems friendly with children in the neighborhood on his daily walk. Rocky is house trained. He can use a doggy door, however, prefers the softer plastic one at his foster home.

Being twelve years old, Rocky has shown some signs of hearing loss. He doesn’t seem to be bothered by loud noises, most likely because he can’t hear well. Foster mom uses loud claps to get his attention.

Car rides are not his favorite activity. They make him anxious. New people and new small dogs are okay in his book! Rocky shows no sign of food or toy aggression.
