At around 10 months old, Cyrus is just starting to figure out what a life of love, comfort, and warmth is all about. He and his brother, Kobe, were living outside their entire lives and were shelter-bound pups if we hadn't stepped in. Covered (and boy do we mean COVERED) in fleas and ticks, these two brothers made the trek from Riverside to San Diego just after the 4th of July. Once in San Diego, they received not one, but two baths to try to rid them of the fleas and ticks that consumed their small bodies. Fast forward a few days later (and many combings/brushings/baths later), and these two lovebugs are flea and tick free!! All the while, Cyrus and Kobe had fantastic attitudes and didn't mind being poked and prodded by numerous people - talk about troopers! Cyrus is slightly larger than Kobe at just over 12lbs, but those short dachshund legs and long body make him a solid 12lb pup. He loves to have his tummy and face rubbed and he'll give you sweet kisses to thank you for doing so. He's been friendly with everyone he's met so far - kids, men, women, big and little dogs, you name it! His foster mom reports only one accident in the house, which is amazing considering he's lived his entire life outdoors so far. Cyrus is also a perfect gentleman in his crate when he's home alone. He loves long walks around the neighborhood and hasn't chewed on a single thing that's not a toy. We can't forget the obvious with Cyrus - he is beyond adorable! If you'd like to welcome this fun-loving, happy-go-lucky, sweet-as-pie pooch into your home, please fill out an Adoption Application!
