This distinguished gentleman dachshund was found as a stray by local Animal Control and held for a month. Why he was never claimed is beyond our understanding as he is the most well behaved dachshund his foster has ever encountered. He goes out to potty, gets along with everyone and is just so loving. He had a dental were he lost a couple teeth which is not uncommon for a dachshund. He moves without any signs of stiffness and other than the cataract in his eyes and gray in his face, you would think him younger. Jocko (named by the shelter) is crate trained but has been given the rare privilege of being able to sleep wherever he wants at night. He is usually found curled up on the sofa or in one of the dog beds under a fleece blanket in the morning. And when he can curled up next to you on the sofa while you watch TV. Whoever is lucky enough to adopt this guy will have a devoted and loving companion.
