At 15 years young, handsome long-haired Dachshund Caesar is ready to spend his golden years with someone who understands that senior dogs can come with a few extra quirks—and plenty of personality!

Caesar is a slow-to-warm-up kind of guy. He needs time to feel comfortable with new people and can be especially cautious around men and strangers entering his space. Once he knows you, he can be very sweet, particularly with women.

His future family should know that Caesar can be possessive of his food and has a history of nipping when uncomfortable. For this reason, an adult-only home or one with children over age 5 is ideal. He is also frightened by thunderstorms and has escaped during storms in the past, so keeping him safely secured during bad weather will be very important.

Caesar is currently foster-to-adopt while we monitor one remaining medical need — an eye-pressure recheck in a few months that H.A.L.O. will cover. As for other medical needs, he will need to remain on his kidney-disease protocol for life, including daily fluids, a prescription kidney-support diet, and Azodyl. The daily fluids usually require two people—one to hold him because he is very squirmy and the other to administer the fluids. He also has a small/low-grade heart murmur that his future veterinarian should be aware of.

Caesar isn’t looking for a perfect home—he’s looking for the right one. A quiet household, a patient person, and someone willing to let this little gentleman take his time could be exactly what he needs.

This little guy is currently living in a foster home, so if you’re looking for a tiny companion with a big personality and plenty of golden years left to enjoy, fill out an adoption application and call our Front Office team to talk about next steps! 🐶💕

Requirements: Martingale Collar; Kidney Protocol For Life; Foster-To-Adopt (Eye Pressure Recheck)
