Hi, I’m Arnie, a sweet 14-year-old senior dachshund who is hoping that my forever family is out there waiting for me. I’m a loving, easygoing senior boy who does well with other small dogs, but big dogs aren’t really my cup of kibble. I prefer my canine friends on the smaller side. My hearing isn’t what it used to be, so I may have either selective hearing or senior ears. But I can still hear clapping hands and whistles! When my foster mom claps her hands, I come trotting back to the house and I make eye contact with her. I am absolutely LOVING my foster mom’s big fenced backyard! There are birds, rabbits, and squirrels to watch and hunt, and I take my backyard security duties very seriously. Because of my age and hearing, I need a securely physically fenced yard to keep me safe. No invisible fences, please. My wishlist is pretty simple: A soft, comfy dog bed Good food Lots of love A safe, secure home A family who understands that senior dogs have so much love left to give I may be 14, but I still have plenty of life, love, and personality in me. I just need someone willing to give a sweet old guy a place to call home. Could you be my forever family? Please share Arnie’s post so we can help this senior boy find the loving forever home he deserves. Howdy! I'm Arnie I'm a sweet senior boy that is looking for a furever home of my own.
