Marcus is an 8-year-old, red, short-haired Dachshund mix who’s mastered the art of snuggling. Weighing just 14 lbs, this sweet gentleman is looking for a loving home where he can curl up beside his favorite human and finally feel secure again.

Marcus came to Little Paws Dachshund Rescue through no fault of his own when his previous owner developed dementia. Now, he’s ready to form a new bond—with someone who will cherish him for the rest of his golden years.
