If we did not have a full house (large dogs, cats and some other animals…), I would gladly adopt this little fellow or someone like him. The Human Society in Naples does a great job.

We have two dachshunds of our own, plus a cat. I would love to take Ru Ru, but our house is not ambulatory friendly. Too many step ups and step downs that could injure him. I hope that someone special finds a place for this cute little man.

My heart went out to this wee man, I love him so much. If I wasn't already the happy owner of a 3 year old dachshund (Louie..aka Lou Lou) and if I didn't live in Ontario, Canada I would be there to adopt him in a heartbeat! Please keep me informed on his future,,, I wish him a very happy and loving mommy and daddy to take him home. Love you RuRu xo
