Meet Merle!  Merle was among several Dachshunds that were transferred to TDR. Merle, like the rest was very well cared for and is a pure-bred long-haired Dachshund.  
At the senior age of 12 years old, Merle is very laid back and wise. He is comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes. He is also not bothered by cats. 

Being the mellow guy he is, he is also not phased at all by young humans and loves men and women equally. 

Although not completely deaf, Merle is hard of hearing. That does not keep him from enjoying going outside with the other dog friends.  He is sweet and laid back. 

Merle does not have to be an only dog and does fine with others as long as he’s in a home that will give him plenty of attention. 

At present, with other dogs in the home, he has shown that he is not food aggressive. Coming from a breeding environment, Merle is not house broken, but he is wise and you can teach an old dog new tricks. Given time, he will become house broken. In the meantime, he is comfortable wearing belly bands. 

Merle had not been trained in commands. Again, he seems to be trainable. The bottom line is that Merle is a handsome specimen of a long hair Dachshund and will make someone a very close friend.

We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
