Hey there! I’m Reed, a one-of-a-kind pup looking for my forever home. My journey hasn’t been easy—when my family had to move, I found myself facing an uncertain future and was facing euthanasia. Thankfully, I was rescued just in time, and now I’m ready to find a loving family who will be my forever.
I’ll be honest, I was a bit nervous at first. But my foster family has been amazing, helping me settle in and grow more confident each day. I’m a spirited little guy with loads of energy, and while I’m still working on my house training, I’m a quick learner and eager to please. Right now, I spend a lot of time outside because it’s where I feel most relaxed, but I’m starting to enjoy cozy snuggles on the couch and venturing indoors more often!
I love playing with other dogs, especially ones my size or bigger. My ideal forever home has another dog for company, or someone who is home most of the time. I do well with small children, too! Sometimes I get a little excited and might bump into or jump on toddlers, so supervision is important and I'd prefer a home with children 8yrs or older.
As for adventures, I’d love to join you on outdoor escapades 3-4 times a week—whether it’s walks, runs, or just rolling around and sniffing out the world! I’m a unique mix of Staffy and Dachshund, with short legs, a long body, and even two different-colored eyes—definitely one of a kind!
A home with a 5-foot fence would be best for me, just to keep my curiosity in check as I get comfortable in my new routine. I haven’t shown any signs of wanting to escape, but it’s always good to be safe. With a bit of structure, love, and training in those early weeks, I’ll be set up for a happy, balanced life with you.
If you’re ready to welcome a loyal, playful, and snuggly friend into your home, I might just be the one for you! Let’s start our adventure together—apply to adopt me and let’s make it official!
P.S. Not sure about my name? No worries! Feel free to rename me if we become family—most dogs pick up new names in no time!

DOG ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/OTCadoptionapp
If you apply to adopt but require us to hold the pet more than 3 days before meeting, we will ask you for a non-refundable holding deposit of $100. If you are unwilling to put a deposit on the pet, we will continue to advertise and speak with other potential adopters. This holding deposit will be subtracted from the adoption fee should you adopt the animal on hold for you.
