Story
Please contact Diane Pedulla (dianep@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.Take a shine to this handsome redhead MOONSHINE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Moonshine Best Guess for Breed: Dachshund / Hound mix Best Guess for Age: 2 years as if 01/24/2025 Gender: male Approximate Weight: 13 lbs. Gets Along With: with other dogs; Moonshine hasn't been observed with kids or cats but we can test. Currently Living At: the shelter, Moonshine needs a foster and a forever home. Special Adoption Considerations: Moonshine is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs. All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care. After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months. We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left! Moonshine is Looking For: his very own family! At two years old, Moonshine’s still quite energetic and playful, enjoying games of fetch, tug-of-war, and exploring his surroundings. He has a curious nature, often poking his nose into everything to investigate new scents and objects. Dachshunds love to burrow under the covers and climb into baskets full of laundry. Don't let Moonshine's short legs fool you. Dachshunds are active and need regular exercise to stay healthy and happy. Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation are essential to keep him engaged and content. Socialization with different people, dogs, and environments will help Moonshine grow into a well-rounded and confident adult dog. Dachshunds can be quite vocal, using their barks to communicate excitement, alertness, or the presence of something interesting. For people living in apartments we can talk more about ways to address excessive barking. Positive reinforcement, consistency, and patience are key in training any dog. What My Foster Says About Me: We will update as soon as Moonshine arrives and spends some time with a foster. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.
