Rico is a 1 year old chocolate and tan dachshund who was rescued from a hoarding situation. Rico is very good and well behaved around people he knows well, however, he sometimes gets nervous in new situations and with new people. We are working on this behavior with him and he will benefit from an adopter who will continue working on training with him. He can be a little nippy in situations where he is unsure, therefore, we recommend him to go to a home with no young children. Once he latches on to his "people", however, he is a sweet, friendly little guy who loves to sleep in the big bed with you and provide countless hours of entertainment.
Adoption Fee:
$275.00 + $35.00 for a health certificate if going over state lines (required by law). Dogs adopted in New England are subject to additional rules and regulations by the state departments of agriculture. Complying with these regulations is expensive for our rescue, and all dogs adopted in New England states are subject to an additional $125 fee to help cover a portion of these expenses. Dogs that are HW positive cannot be adopted in Massachusetts.
