Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Look at what a couple of weeks of good care can do!! Cookie is a sweet 7 year old boy who weighs 18 pounds. He’s good with all people and other dogs. He came to us paralyzed in his hind 2 legs, a horrible bladder infection and painful urine scald. His skin is all better and his bladder infection has been cleared up. Cookie will not regain the ability to walk, but he doesn’t care. Cookie has his own drag bags so he doesn’t hurt himself while going around the house, his own cart so he can go on walks and his own stroller for when he would prefer to be pushed. Cookie does need his bladder expressed and his foster mom can show his new family how to do that. Cookie does not like to be in a crate. If you are interested in adopting me, please complete the DRSF Online Adoption form. My adoption fee covers all my (prior) vet care (adopter receives vet records).

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.
