Animal Profile: Lemons is an adorable dachshund mix who is estimated to be around ~1 year old and weighs 18lbs. She was rescued from a high kill shelter in Bakersfield, CA.
Foster Update: Lemons has really settled in and her personality has begun to shine as her comfort grows. She is a sweet dog who wants nothing more than to be in your lap under a blanket on the couch. She loves being close to people, and though she likes to take introductions with new people slowly, she will end up in your lap staring into your eyes.
Lemons is very polite on leash, but doesn't seem to be enjoying time outside in the cold temps. Once we get back into my yard, she sprints for the door and sits and waits patiently for me to catch up with her. Though she can get excited, she is a very calm and loving little girl. She sits politely waiting for me to put her leash on when it is time to go outside and has taken quickly to potty training. She is a fast learner and is eager to please her human- she also knows exactly when it is time to be fed and is great at providing reminders.
Lemons sleeps in a crate in my bedroom and does not make a noise all night and will happily get in her crate when I leave for work if a Kong full of peanut butter is involved. She struggled with boundaries with my resident dog at first, but with some guidance, she has provided him with the space he needs. They try to play together, but both are a little reluctant and awkward figuring it out and usually end up going for separate toys.
I think she would do well in a house with another dog or by herself. She co-exists well with the resident dog in her foster home, but she does require a slow and structured introduction. Her forever family would need to follow some guidelines to help Lemons understand the dynamic in her new pack for a successful transition.
