If you see a pet here, they are still available for adoption and you should apply through our adoption application on our website at .arf-il/adopt/application/ Henri is a 9-10 year old male Dachshund who weighs in at 18 pounds. This dog's adoption fee is $250. If you are still interested, please read more below. Meet Henri Henri is a tiny bundle of love who will absolutely steal your heart. This little guy is beyond adorable and lives for his favorite moment of the day—when you come home. He gets so excited to see his people that his whole body wiggles with happiness, and it’s honestly the cutest thing ever. Henri loves kisses, cuddles, and especially being held like a baby. He’s a total snuggle bug who thrives on affection and being close to his humans. And one more very important thing to know about him: Henri LOVES food—treats, meals, snacks… if you have it, he’s interested. Because he has some vision difficulties, he can occasionally bump into things, but he navigates life well with a little guidance and consistency. He does best when taken outside frequently for potty breaks, and he’ll need help being carried down stairs. Henri also has allergies and takes Apoquel daily, which he will need to stay on long-term to keep him comfortable and healthy. Henri is sweet, loving, and full of personality—he’s truly a special little dog who will bring so much joy to the lucky person or family who welcomes him home. Henri is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations, housebroken with regular trips out, and neutered. This dog's family will be required to complete a basic obedience course of their choosing.

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.
