Lulu is a 3-4 year old dachshund mix with a gorgeous short red coat. Lulu weighs 23.2 lbs and is working on reaching healthier weight. Lulu is a smart, observant one who's initially hesitant but incredibly sweet once she feels comfortable. She's energetic, playful, loves her toys, and is a devoted cuddler. Environment As a high-energy girlie, Lulu needs daily long walks and play sessions to stay happy and healthy. She's fully potty trained and doesn't require a fenced yard, though outdoor time for exercise is important. She loves her crate—it's her happy place! She do beautifully when left in a pen with her crate and bed inside. Lulu's not overly noisy, making her suitable for homes with shared walls. Lulu both loves walks but will need patient adopters committed to working on their leash manners. She does well in the car, whether traveling in a crate or in booster seat.

She would do best with older, considerate children. Lulu can be hesitant with strangers and may take steps back, but once she sees her people trust someone, she'll approach and interact, eventually accepting pets. Lulu barks at random sudden noises out of fear (just a couple of barks), which has occasionally woken her foster family in the middle of the night. Health & Special Needs Lulu will benefit from continued training, particularly around leash manners and confidence boosting. An experienced adopter who can provide structure, patience, and positive reinforcement will help her thrive. Location Lulu is available for adoption from Coral Springs, FL.

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.
