Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Adoption Fee: 500. *WE ARE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR CONNIE IN NC/SC* Meet Connie Connie is a 14-month-old, 8-pound partially blind double dapple dachshund who almost had a very different future. She was being held back by a breeder to be used as a momma dog — simply because her blue eyes were “so pretty” and would make beautiful puppies. What wasn’t understood is that those same genetics are what caused Connie’s blindness… and breeding her would likely have passed those defects on to her babies. Thankfully, a friend stepped in and changed her path. Now Connie gets the life she always deserved — as someone’s cherished pet, not a breeding mill. Because she has never lived in a home, Connie will need patience, understanding, and time. Everything is new to her. The world feels different when you can’t see it clearly. But she is willing. She is gentle. She is trying. And most of all, she is incredibly cuddly and loving. She will even do great with older considerate children. Connie will need a confident, kind furry buddy in her forever home to help guide her as she learns this brand-new life. She’ll take her cues from them and find comfort in their presence. She is being spayed tomorrow and then will be on the hunt for her final placement. Connie’s best chapter is just beginning. Her adoption fee is a donation of 500.00 There is a 20.00 application fee/donation You can apply here form.jotform/241745142308149

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.
