Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund. Adoption Fee: 350. Meet Kiko! Kiko came to us when he was surrendered to an upstate shelter when his owner could no longer care for him. Kiko came to us terrified but has started to come out of his shell. He is very sweet once he warms up and loves to curl up in your lap. He is dog friendly with all size dogs but would do best with calmer dogs. He is a beautiful boy that with a little patience will really blossom! At this time we do not recommend a home with children under the age of 10. Kiko is about 8 years old and in the prime of his life. He is very easy going and mostly sleeps in his dog bed most of the day. He is not a big barker for his foster mom either. His adoption fee is $350 and he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, heartworm and flea prevention and currently being treated with Advantage multi that is covered by Libby and Mace until he tests negative.

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.
