Meet Darbi a 4 year old black and tan female dachshund. Darbi came into Dream having seizures and with a lot of work and testing we have found the cause of her seizures. Darbi has meningitis which gets inflamed and can trigger a seizure. This is not contagious but it will be something she has for the rest of her life. She has come a long way from having 2-3 seizures a day to recently only having one in 11 days. Dream is on the road of getting this under control so she can find her forever home. Also because of her being on seizure medicine, it can cause these little pups to eat everything in site. This includes people food not just dog food. Everything has to be put away or put high up off the ground so she can not get into anything. Darbi will need to go into a home where she will not be left alone for long periods of time due to having to give medication at first onset of seizure.
I know Darbi sounds like she has a lot of obstacles going on right now, but if you give her a chance she is worth it. I have had her in my home for almost 6 months and she shows love, loyalty, and affection towards other animals, myself, and my kids. And remember that seizures are very common in these dogs and with the right care and the upkeep of her meds she will be just fine.
If you are interested in adopting Darbi, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to
dreamhappytails.org/adoptform.shtml. Darbi 's adoption fee is $375. All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Darbi will go to his/her new home microchipped, altered, heartworm tested, and up to date on vaccinations. Most dogs' veterinary expenses are greater than our adoption fees.
DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group, and we focus on the Atlanta, North Georgia and Savannah area. Because we are all volunteers, we can consider applications only within an hour of these areas. DREAM does not recommend purebred 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 doxie's back.
