Some say owning dachshunds is like eating cookies. You can't have just one!

RUFUS & DAISY are a bonded pair of BFF seniors (15 years old) and they are looking for a calm retirement home.

Both pups take time to warmup, but once they do, they are sweet and loving. They were rescued from a shelter and are in search of a quiet home with experienced owners. No young children.

They are fostered by LITTLE PAWS DACHSHUND RESCUE in Maryland and can travel to their forever home.

If you would be interested in adopting this duo, visit www.littlepawsdr.org.
