Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Adoption Fee: 300. Herbie was an owner surrender with some bad skin issues. Herbie went to the vet and got an antibiotic and a prednisone taper and some special shampoo. His skin already looks so much better, and he isn't scratching and crying constantly. His skin is priority one, but then we have another BIG thing to deal with-the lump he has is an inguinal hernia, so he has to have that prepared when he's neutered. And he will probably get a dental when he's under even though his dachshund teeth aren't terrible. Herbie is 8 years old, about 16 pounds, and is a sweet boy. He loves to wander around outside and sleep under the covers. He would like to let everyone know that "Herbie doesn't share food!" Herbie needs a private space for his dinner. Herbie is also housebroken! Herbie is being fostered in Charlottesville, VA, but would LOVE to get to a quieter place than Casa Urban. It's a lot for a sick middle-aged man to deal with. If you'd be able to give Herbie a place to crash while we get him fixed up, or if you'd like to foster to adopt Herbie while we get all his vetting done, please let us know! Herbie's adoption fee will be $300

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.
