Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund. Meet Penelope Featherington—affectionately known as Penny by her foster family! She’s about 1½ years old and came to rescue alongside 29 of her housemates from a hoarding situation. Penny is just beginning to learn what it feels like to be loved and is currently working on potty and crate training. Penny can still be shy and may not be her best self around small children, but she absolutely adores other dogs and thrives on their companionship. Need a professional lap warmer? She’s your girl! She loves being near both people and dogs and is happiest snuggled up in a cozy lap or cuddling with her furry friends. Her foster family says she especially enjoys staying warm and cozy—she’s definitely not a fan of cold and windy days (can you blame her?). Penny would do best in a patient home where she can continue learning to go outside reliably, take walks, and feel confident in a crate. Older kids or adults are ideal for her, as she blossoms best with gentle guidance and calm energy. If you keep a lap open, Penny will happily fill it with love, snuggles, and devotion. She’s a very sweet, loving pup ready to find her perfect forever home. Stop by our weekly adoption events on Saturdays from 12-4 pm at 372 Townline Road in Mundelein, IL 60060 to meet our adoptable animals in person.

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.
