Duke is a very happy and playful 6 year old red smooth male mini dachshund who weighs about 12 pounds. He is neutered, up to date on all shots, and heartworm negative. Duke was recently returned to NMDR from adopters who had adopted both him and his son, Kenny. Kenny was being aggressive to “protect” Duke, and Duke was urinating all over the house in response to the stress. Since coming back into NMDR, Duke and Kenny have gone to different foster homes and are doing wonderful. Both have been relieved from the stress of trying to maintain their “pack of two” and Duke is making remarkable strides with his house training. Duke is very happy and playful and loves to cuddle his foster mom and run around with the other dogs. Duke has a remarkable ability to scale wire and chain link fences to escape yards so he needs a home with a wooden or block fence that is at least 4 feet tall. We recommend that Duke go to a home where there is another dog playmate for him to romp around with as he does enjoy canine companionship. Due to the level of stress it places on Duke and Kenny to be together, they cannot be adopted to the same home. Duke is being fostered in Albuquerque and his adoption fee is $275.
