NAME..................................WENDY DACHSHUND..................PURE/TWEENIE COAT.................................SMOOTH COLOR.............................RED AGE...................................9 YRS GENDER.........................FEMALE/SPAYED WEIGHT..........................11 LBS contact nashcaht2@bellsouth.net adoption fee...................150.00 +10.00 for chip fee Wendy was an owner turn in due to her owner having Alzheimer's and no longer able to care for Wendy. Wendy came to us scared and confused, I'm sure she couldn't figure out what she did to lose her home, she just can't understand. Wendy would be a wonderful companion for someone that's home a lot or works at home. We do not recommend that Wendy goes to a home with small children. Older kids 12 would be fine. Wendy loves to follow her foster mom around the house and go where ever she goes, she will also whine when she can't see her foster mom probably due to the fact she is afraid that her new mom will leave her like the old one did. She is house broken if you take her out but if you don't she will potty in the house. She does like to go for car rides and for walks and would be fine with MALE dogs but NO CATS. If you are interested in giving Wendy her last forever home please go to www.ssdr.org and fill out an on line application and make sure you put her name on the app. Out of state adopters are welcome and so is Canadian adopters. If you have more question please feel free to contact the foster mom listed above.

Not Good with Cats, Is Not Good with Kids

AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund's back or get bitten.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast and mid-west. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. For now, please look for dogs on your coast.
