Dachshund

Female, Puppy
Southbury, CT
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This puppy Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives. The adoption fee is $550 if your adoption is prepaid prior to your pup's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on puppies that are picked up from our Southbury CT adoption center, adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368. WANT TO MEET OUR DOGS IN PERSON? Check the Events tab on cprdogs.com for all weekend adoption event info. The majority of the dogs marked as 'meet me' will be there to see you! More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds. If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05. TO APPLY PLEASE GO TO www.cprdogs.com. If your application was successfully submitted you will get an automatically generated confirmation email. Please DO NOT USE the ADOPTAPET "CONTACT THIS RESCUE GROUP" form below or you may not hear from us as these often end up in spam or bouncing back. After receipt of your application, an adoption counselor will then be in touch to answer your questions about this pup, discuss the adoption process and get the ball rolling! If you have not heard from one of our volunteers within 5 days of submitting your application, please email mollibo@gmail.com.

Story
  Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. &#226&#151&#143 Energy level: medium &#226&#151&#143 Potty trained: yes &#226&#151&#143 Fenced yard needed: would like, but not necessary &#226&#151&#143 Shared walls ok: yes &#226&#151&#143 People: all, including children &#226&#151&#143 Dogs: great with others &#226&#151&#143 Other: on prescription diet for bladder stones   Overview Meet Bella, a delightful approximate 14-year-old red short-haired dachshund looking for her perfect retirement home. At 19 pounds, this sweet lady has plenty of love to give and proves that age is just a number! She's a resilient soul who's ready to become someone's cherished companion.   Environment Bella is seeking a home where she can enjoy a perfect balance of gentle activity and cozy relaxation. She's house-trained and does wonderfully in any living situation, though she'd appreciate a yard for casual exploring. A true homebody, Bella prefers to have company around as she can get a bit anxious when left alone. She's happy left to her own devices and walks beautifully on a leash, making her an adaptable companion for various lifestyles.   Bella’s foster says: “She is so sweet and so resilient. Would make a great companion to sleep in bed at night and take along anywhere as long as you don’t mind taking your time walking.”   Pets & People Bella is a social butterfly who does great with everyone she meets! She lived with children in her previous home and has proven to be wonderful with people of all ages. In her foster home, she's been amazing with the other dogs, confidently finding her place in the pack. While she gets along with all dogs, she would likely prefer a calmer household with senior dogs or even being an only dog where she can soak up all the attention.   Health Bella is in good health for her age, though she does require a prescription diet to manage bladder stones. She has a few lumps that the vet has identified as harmless fatty lipomas. Like many of us, she's working on losing a couple of pounds, but that just means more opportunity for gentle walks with her new family!   Location Bella is available for adoption from Morrisville, NC. She's a wonderful car passenger, making travel a breeze. Please email caitlin.simmons18@gmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. Her adoption fee will be $250.00. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 22, 2024, 9:34 am

Story
&#226&#151&#143 Energy level: low (on crate rest) &#226&#151&#143 Potty trained: needs assistance &#226&#151&#143 Fenced yard needed: no &#226&#151&#143 Shared walls ok: no &#226&#151&#143 People: all &#226&#151&#143 Dogs: friendly with small dogs &#226&#151&#143 Other: special needs with mobility and bladder expression   Overview Meet Printz, a sweet 5-year-old red smooth coat dachshund who's looking for a special family to cherish him. At 17.2 pounds, this loving boy proves that good things come in medium packages! Despite facing some mobility challenges, Printz maintains a wonderfully positive attitude and has a heart full of love to share.   Environment Printz is seeking a patient and nurturing home where someone can be present most of the time, as he gets a bit anxious when left alone. While he's currently on crate rest due to a back injury and needs help with mobility, he still enjoys the simple pleasures in life. He does well walking with assistance using a sling and is perfectly content in homes without a yard. He's well-behaved in his crate when his family needs to step out, but he can be vocal so shared walls are probably not a good idea. His reasonable energy needs and gentle nature make him an excellent companion.   Pets & People Printz is a very loving dog who thrives on human connection and wants nothing more than to be near his person. While initially shy, he quickly warms up to show his affectionate personality. He's a social butterfly with other small dogs and does very well in multi-dog households, but is untested with children or cats. He can be vocal around larger dogs, but this is likely due to his size and mobility situation. He's gentle when taking treats and very food-motivated, which makes him easy to bond with.    Health Printz has some special medical needs that require a dedicated family. He currently needs assistance with bladder and bowel expression due to his back injury. He can take trazodone as needed to help manage any discomfort or anxiety. His mobility requires some extra support, and he uses a sling to help him walk comfortably. These needs are manageable with the right care routine, and his sweet personality makes it all worthwhile.   Location Printz is available for adoption from Lexington, SC. Due to his special needs, he would prefer a home within a reasonable driving distance, as he can find long car rides challenging.

Story
Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying.   &#226&#151&#143 Energy level: moderate   &#226&#151&#143 Potty training: needs bladder expression due to IVDD &#226&#151&#143 Fenced yard: optional but supervised   &#226&#151&#143 Shared walls: not suitable   &#226&#151&#143 People: adults only   &#226&#151&#143 Dogs: all   &#226&#151&#143 Other: mobility assistance needed     Overview   Looking for a devoted companion who'll share in all of life's adventures? Meet Burney, a distinguished pure-bred dachshund with a gorgeous red long coat! At 9 years young and a perfectly portable 13 pounds, this charmer is searching for his forever home. Burney is beyond sweet and wants to be by your side all the time - whether you're cooking in the kitchen, watching TV, or heading out for a stroller walk.   Environment   Burney needs a home where someone is present most of the time, as he experiences separation anxiety and doesn't like to be left alone for long periods. While he's crate trained and does well sleeping in his crate at night, apartment living isn't ideal - when left alone he likes to "sing the song of his people!" He doesn't require a fenced yard, but needs supervision during outdoor time as he gets around by dragging himself since he can't walk. He may be a candidate for a cart!   Health   This sweet boy has some special care needs that his future family should be prepared for. He requires regular bladder and bowel expression to avoid accidents, and uses a belly band between expressions to avoid drips. He's currently taking disc and cranberry supplements to support his health. Despite his mobility challenges, Burney maintains a happy and active life - he's a pro at stroller walks and his previous owner shared that he even enjoyed kayaking! As long as he's with you - he's happy!   Pets & People   Burney is a social butterfly who gets along splendidly with dogs of all sizes - he's proven himself friendly with both big and little dogs in his foster home. He would love to have a dog sibling in his new home as he doesn't like being totally alone. While he's a total love bug with adults and greets strangers warmly, he needs a home without babies or young children due to his history of being uncomfortable around them. He has excellent manners around food and treats, showing no food aggression even with other dogs present.   Location   Burney is available for adoption from Westbrook, CT. He's great in the car and can travel any distance, though he might do a little crying when uncertain about where he's going. Please email fosternorth@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Burney is $150.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 27, 2025, 4:56 pm
