MAYBELLE - DACHSHUND / TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Dachshund / Terrier / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 450. Get ready to fall in love with Maybelle, an incredibly sweet and happy senior tripod with a heart of gold! This delightful girl is a true social butterfly, welcoming everyone with a wagging tail and a demand for scritches. There's no such thing as "stranger danger" for Maybelle – just more friends to make and love to give! Despite having only three legs, Maybelle is surprisingly spry, especially if treats are involved! She's incredibly food-motivated and a quick learner, making her a joy to train. You'll often find her sleeping upside down or rolling around on her back, showcasing her playful spirit. Maybelle thrives on companionship, her least favorite times being when she's alone. She craves being surrounded by people and other little friends, having spent her days in Texas playing with three small dogs. She's a perfect fit for a home with other small, friendly pups or a family that can offer her constant company. Mostly potty-trained, Maybelle’s routine includes morning outdoor potty breaks and access to potty pads while you’re away. When you’re home, she loves to play, gaze out the window, and indulge in copious cuddles. Her tail wags constantly, and she'll sprint for a chance to give you some loving kisses and sniffs. Her favorite toys are things to lick, like a Pupsicle, and she adores meal times even more than cuddles! If you're looking for a devoted, affectionate, and happy companion who will fill your home with joy and endless tail wags, Maybelle is ready to steal your heart. Come meet this charming tripod and experience her loving spirit for yourself! Due to a previous, unknown trauma, Maybelle had one of her back legs amputated. Her remaining back leg has some changes in the hip and knee that may cause occasional discomfort. She is currently comfortable and doing well with the support of Carprofen and Gabapentin. Ongoing use of these medications can be continued at the discretion of the adopter’s primary veterinarian. Maybelle has adapted beautifully and gets around well — she just benefits from a little extra support to keep her feeling her best. Maybelle is from Texas.
