Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Adoption Fee: $200. KENNEL ID #18804 Meet Sissy Sissy is a sweet, spayed female Dachshund, estimated to be around 9 years old—and she’s ready for a fresh start in a loving home. Her story is one you won’t forget. Sissy was brought into a tobacco store in a busy tourist area in Tennessee by a homeless man who was struggling to care for her. After asking an employee for a cigarette, he ran out of the store—leaving Sissy behind. When police located him, he admitted he could no longer care for her. They suggested she be taken to an already overcrowded shelter… but thankfully, that’s not where her story ended. The employee, Mary, knew Sissy deserved better. She reached out to rescue partners, and from there, Sissy got the second chance she so desperately needed. Sissy is now safe in a loving foster home in Pennsylvania (with Mary’s daughter!) where she’s being cared for and spoiled while she waits for her forever family. ✨ Spayed ✨ Up to date on all vaccines ✨ Recently had a much-needed dental ✨ Currently overweight and will benefit from a healthy diet and light exercise (her foster is already helping her slim down!) Sissy is a gentle soul who has clearly been through a lot, but she’s ready to leave her past behind and be someone’s loyal companion. She would thrive in a calm, loving home where she can feel safe, get the care she needs, and enjoy her golden years. Adoption Fee: $200 (helps cover her dental care) If you’re looking for a devoted little companion with a big heart, Sissy is your girl. Thank you for your interest in rescue.

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.
