Fill out the form by clicking on the picture of the computer screen with our logo on it. Timmy update Friday August 15th. Timmy came to us when he was 11 months old, he was the size of a 4 month old. Timmy has neurologic issues. We have done extensive bloodwork including bile acid challenge and xrays. Timmy does not walk normally, his body moves sideways when his head is trying to go forward. Sometimes he has issues standing. If we try to lay him on his left side he flounders, we have to put him in his bed on his right side. He is still very thin, we feed him small kibble mixed with canned so he can swallow it easily otherwise he chokes, we also offer mashed Fresh Pet and try to feed him multiple times throughout the day to try to get some weight on him. Timmy will need a very special home that can continue to work with him. His feedings take about 30 minutes with him sitting next to you and coaxing him. Are you that special person that can continue with Timmy's cares with lots of love and patience? Timmy update 5/5/2025 Timmy is doing well, he is up to 6.2 pounds! He is a bit stronger. We will get him neutered once he is to a safe weight. Timmy is a sweet boy. Unfortunately he has some neurologic issues we are trying to figure out. He is in for a bile acid challenge today to see if perhaps a liver shunt. Timmy needs some special angels to sponsor him while Dr Paul figures out what his issues are. Please keep Timmy in your prayers My adoption fee helps cover all of my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, neuter, dental if needed and microchipping.

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.
