NAME: Twiggy AGE: 10+ SEX: male WEIGHT: 11 pounds COLOR: black and tan COAT: smooth UP TO DATE: no for health reasons SPAYED/NEUTERED: no due to health reasons Adoption fee: no less than 100.00 or"JUST A DONATION" FROM THE HEART!! HOUSETRAINED: Yes, and crate trained, but needs frequent potty breaks due to medication. SPECIAL NEEDS: He has heart disease and is on medication that costs $8 a month. He needs to potty often due to being on lasix. HOME W/ SMALL CHILDREN: yes HOME W/ OTHER DOGS: yes, HOME W/ CATS: yes MICROCHIP #: n/a FOSTER HOME: Kimberly Christiansburg, VA, 24073, kisharp@yahoo.com BIO: Twiggy was found as a stray in West Virginia and turned into animal control. He was a complete gentleman from the moment I picked him up! He enjoys playing with the other dogs but he lives to be with his human. He would probably do best with parents who are home most of the day. If he is left alone I think he would do best with another dog to keep him company. He has been around the cat and doesn't find her very interesting. Twiggy was obviously spoiled rotten in his past life and he expects the same in his new life! He has the most precious face and eyes that just make you melt! He got compliments everywhere we went today. If you want a companion to keep your lap warm, give you kisses and gaze lovingly into your eyes, then Twiggy is for you! *UPDATE* Twiggy has been diagnosed with heart disease and now takes enalapril and lasix every day. Out of State and Canadian adopters are welcome. We do not ship our dogs cargo. You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE. More about Twiggy...NCGood with Dogs, Good with Cats, 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.
