Cracker is a handsome little boy who came to rescue late one night, along with his mother, Snuggles. It is desirable to have them go to a home together, so please take a few moments to read Snuggles biography as well, if you have room in your home and heart for two sweeties! It's not a requirement that Cracker go to the same home as his mother - just preferable.

Cracker arrived in February of 2007 and has been waiting patiently ever since for the right home to find him. You may recall seeing his listing combined with Snuggles information earlier. We immediately had his vaccines brought up to date, implanted a microchip and our vet remarked at how great his physical condition was. On February 26th 2008, both Cracker and his mom, Snuggles, had their vaccines brought current (again) so as to ensure that they would both be "adoptable" when the right family finds them.

Cracker is a bit shy when meeting new people, but he quickly settles down once he's had a chance to get to know them. He's never been exposed to either children or cats, so I can't answer any questions regarding how he will do with them, but based on the way he introduces himself to people, I suspect that he might seem scary to both, so an adult home is preferable for Cracker.

An application to adopt Cracker can be completed online at http://dachshund-rescue.org/benny, but be aware that no home outside of the Jacksonville metro area will be considered for Cracker. This is a restriction that will not be waived, not even for you.
