Sammy Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. • Energy level: medium • Potty training: trained • Fenced yard: no but does need frequent potty breaks • Shared walls: no • People: no young children • Dogs: no • Other: visually impairment under assessment. Resource guards spaces. Overview Meet Sammy, a beautiful ~10 year old, 10 lb golden-coated dachshund who proves that love sees beyond physical limitations. Sammy came to Little Paws as a stray found in Miami, but this sweet boy has nothing but affection to give. Despite being somewhat visually impaired due to cataracts, Sammy navigates the world with his heart wide open and is absolutely craving human connection and love. Environment Sammy is a gentle soul who enjoys short walks and playtime. He’s potty trained with regular potty breaks, doing best with a consistent routine. He’s great on the leash and loves his walks. Sammy is not a fan of the crate and does bark when left alone. He needs a home without shared walls. This love bug just wants to be near his people! His happy place is the sofa, left to relax without interruption. Pets & People Sammy is incredibly sweet with adults and older children, but he wouldn’t suit living with young children as he can be easily startled. He has shown some guarding of his space but after recent eye surgery his disposition has improved. Sammy doesn’t like to be moved when he gets comfortable and is exhibiting signs of resource guarding. He will need an adopter familiar with this and be willing to put in the time to work with him. Because he is easily startled and prefers to be left alone when comfortable, we feel Sammy would do best as an only dog. His nature makes him wonderful with patient family members who understand his needs. Due to his vision, he’s very gentle around food and needs to be guided to his food and water bowls, but he manages beautifully once he knows where everything is. Health Sammy has cataracts that cause visual impairment, and he’s having his vision assessed this week to better understand his needs. He sometimes bumps into things and needs gentle guidance to his food and water bowls, but he manages well. He tries to use potty pads but can not always see them. He takes a joint supplement, omega for his skin, and probiotics. His visual challenges don’t slow down his loving spirit one bit. Location Sammy is available for adoption from Miami, FL.

Overview:
The Dachshund, affectionately known as the "wiener dog," is a fascinating breed originating in Germany, primarily bred to hunt badgers and other burrowing animals. Their most distinctive physical characteristic is their long, low-slung body and short, muscular legs, a feature perfectly adapted for tunneling. They come in three coat types – smooth, longhaired, and wirehaired – and various sizes, from miniature to standard. Temperamentally, Dachshunds are known for being courageous, curious, and often quite playful, with a surprising amount of energy. While they are intelligent, their independent nature can make training a delightful challenge. Their small size and relatively low exercise requirements make them well-suited for apartment living, and they can be wonderful companions for families, though early socialization is key, especially with children and other pets. Regarding health, their unique body shape predisposes them to intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), so careful handling and weight management are crucial.
