FRECKLES - DACHSHUND / BEAGLE / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Dachshund / Beagle / Mixed. LOOKING FOR A LOVING HOSPICE HOME: Almost 16 years old / Approx. 25 lbs. Hi there, I’m Freckles! I was with Mostly Mutts and adopted way back in 2009, so I’m almost 16 years old now. I don’t know what happened with my family as they could not be located, and I was found in a rough neighborhood tied to a tree, in bad shape. Thankfully animal control picked me up and helped me get back to Mostly Mutts who has nursed me to a better health level. I’m in a wonderful foster home while I wait for an angel who loves to give the very aged dogs a great end of life home in love and comfort. If that sounds like you, please inquire about meeting me! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: In my foster home I happily greet the other gentle dogs with a nose touch and then I go about my own business. So, if you have another dog or two that sounds like a match for me, let’s meet. / Cats unknown. / I’ve met teens and much younger kids in my foster home that all treated me very gently and I liked them! So, if you have kids that are old enough to know how to interact with a very old girl, let’s meet, and best no very young kids that may fall on me. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: My foster family describes me as such a sweet, calm, gentle, quiet little lady who is truly a pleasure! I’ve been very happy to meet everyone in my foster home and will come up to them and give their leg a very soft nudge with my nose for attention. I take treats gently, ride calmly in the car, don’t have any food issues and will happily share food with the other dogs in the home. My movements are slow and hesitant because of poor eyesight and hearing, but I do get around well in my foster home now that I’ve learned the space. Right now, I can do some stairs, but that could change, and of course I need to be kept safe from falling downstairs. / My energy level as expected is low at a 1–3. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m past the age of doing commands. / I am not crated in my foster home, but my foster has several beds for me around the home to choose from and I have two favorite spots. / My potty habits can be a little tricky due to my age and having kidney issues. I do let my foster know when I have to go out by walking around patiently, hoping you’ll take notice and take me outside. However, if you aren’t aware that I’m up, you can miss the short window of time, and I will have an accident. I do fairly well with potty pads and my foster has plenty out for me and I do generally sleep through the night without having an accident. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love being petted, eating my food, getting treats, taking leisurely walks outside with the family, and gentle affection. I also love boiled carrots - not canned. / I don’t like being picked up because my chest area is sensitive with some lumps and bumps. I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love and attention. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. At almost 16 years old I have some medical challenges, so please ask about those. In general, I’m mostly blind and hard of hearing, I have some kidney issues and eat Science Diet KD food to help. I have some lumps and bumps and dental issues that can’t really be addressed due to my age and not being able to go under anesthesia. So, some meds help with some of that. Please ask about the things that help me to be comfortable. I’m looking for a wonderful Hospice home to live out my life in love and comfort! My adoption fee is $100.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
