CANDY - DACHSHUND / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Dachshund / Mixed. Candy is a 3-year-old female who would love to add some cute quirkiness to your household. This 12ish pound dachshund mix is named for the Dolly Parton song "Hard Candy Christmas." Like Dolly, she's from the Smokies, and like in the song, she's had a rough start to life, but her future is full of possibilities. She loves cheese, celery and playing with a stuffed pig. She doesn't mind the presence of humans and might even welcome you home with sniffs, but petting is overwhelming to her. She enjoys cuddling with doggo friends but not sharing food with them. She also does not tolerate leashing/harnessing. Treat her like a piece of fine art: she needs her own safe space and to be admired but not touched. Because of this, she may not be a good fit for families with young children or those in an apartment. Candy will take a while to warm up in her new fur-ever home, but will reward patient humans willing to give her space with pint-sized zoomies and adorable antics. Maybe even a lick or two, but always on her terms! Candy is up to date on vaccines, spayed, microchipped, dewormed, started on monthly flea and heartworm prevention and her adoption fee is $250. All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption. Contact the foster parent or Mountain Pet Rescue at petsmpravl for more information. Please note that visual breed identification of companion animals has been proven to be unreliable, so for most of our animals we provide a best guess at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our animals as an individual and do our best to describe and place pets based on personality not breed label. Mountain Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit tax deductible charity (EIN 82-3039637) located in Asheville, NC.
