She was given up by the breeder because of her blindness and their inability to care for her. At first, we were not sure if she was completely blind but after taking her to VOS it was determined that she was blind. One eye is smaller than the other. She also has a “club foot” but that does not stop her from getting around. Britta loves to be cuddled and covered up and sleeping next to you. She is puppy pad trained but will need you to work with her on house breaking. She barks when she knows it is time to eat and she hears the rest of the fosters in the foster home start to bark for dinner or breakfast. She has never been around a cat, so she does not even know what they are. She has never been around another young small dog so has not learned to play but does play with toys, or you, if you are willing to play with her. What Britta needs is someone that can spend the time and patience with her to show her the world. She is the sweetest little girl, but it is time she finds her own home. She will be your heart. While we do not feel she needs a fenced in yard, it is necessary that she has you out there with her at all times. While she will not run, she will wander and that would get her in trouble so a leash would be BEST. We would like her to go to the states from TN or further south because she has not been out in the cold. Yes, she is cute but think about this if you don’t have the time then she would not be a good fit for your home. Our must haves for Britta are Someone home more than not Another young small dog for her to learn from Someone that will be patient with her and has the time to housebreak her Someone that will teach her leash walking If you have experience with blind dogs that is a plus. If you’d like more info on sweet Britta, you can email her foster mom. ============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ============== AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund’s back or get bitten. If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed on the bio form. They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. There will be an additional $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state in which they are being fostered. We will not adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have any issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures.
