Meet our New Foster Dog: Dash!

Today is a  big day in our family. We welcomed a new Foster Dog into our family. 
  Our friend Shelley, who works with Dachshund Rescue of North America told us about a little senior Dachshund/Chihuahua mix who was in the Anne Arundel County Animal Control shelter since June 10. 

Dash was comfy in Tom's arm for the ride home

   The shelter had run out of room and they had to put this tiny, frightened dog in the cat room. If we didn't take him in as a foster, the alternative was not good.
   So, of course we said Yes. 
  
THE INTRODUCTION - Our three canine kids welcomed him, including Tyler. Dash walked around the house and investigated. He found a pillow and got comfortable. He was nervous though when thunderstorms rumbled outside. 
He let me (Rob) give him a bath, clean his ears and cut his nails with no problem.

ABOUT DASH - He's 10 years old, and just 8 pounds. He's in good health, although he's going to get a dental cleaning. 
 The pet history gave more insight into him:
His birthday is in August, likely 2007. 
 - He was never trained, so he's going to learn a lot with us! 
- Great with other dogs

- When a 4 year old girl pulled hard on his tail he nipped her. The girl should have been reprimanded, but since they never trained Dash, it's obvious the family doesn't train their human kids. 
  - He doesn't know how to play with toys, but he is said to like a ball. 
 - He's heartworm and lyme disease free
