On 3/19, this dachshund was found crossing Holt Road near the Apex/Cary border. He appeared to be coming from the Charleston Village sub-division.

He is male, not fixed ('intact') and about 15 pounds. The vet says he is approximately 2-3 years old based on the tartar on his teeth. Mostly black with some tan on his lower legs and lower jaw - plus a bit on his chest.

The vet thinks he was outside 2-3 days before we found him. Some fleas, ticks and dry skin but basically ok otherwise.

He is sweet as can be! Warm, cuddly and kind. No accidents inside either. Gets along really well with our two beagles. Slept on a bed but slept in the crate just fine too.

We are going to keep him as long as we can, he won't go to the pound. If no one claims him in two weeks, we'll try to find a new home for him. We are already smitten with him but we can't keep three dogs under Cary law.
