Who knows? Whatever it is, she's super cute. Cora was a little cautious and nervous at first when she came to her foster home, but that eased after a couple of days. She’s now completely integrated into her foster parent’s resident pack and doing great. She was crated the first night and did fine, but since then she’s been allowed to sleep outside the crate with no problems. She’s allowed to sleep wherever she wants to and has had no potty accidents. She’s very smart, learned the dog door is for going outside to potty, and figured that out the very first day. Her ideal forever home would be one that includes at least one other playful dog who's a little laid back and doesn't mind letting Cora be assertive. She vacillates between lazy dog on the couch to playfully racing around the yard to get her energy out and likes to surround herself with toys, any kind of toys, she's all about gathering toys. If left alone unsupervised she could get into mischief, so having a buddy dog would be helpful in building confidence and showing her the ropes. She can be a little sneaky with shoes and socks, taking them outside into the yard. She can jump high, so no short fences - 6' minimum for this gal. Her foster parents feel she’d benefit from training classes to work on leash training and ‘recall’, and she wouldn’t be a good dog beach or off leash dog until then, but once she gets that down and bonds with her forever family she’ll be fine. But her new family will definitely need to be careful with doors and gates because she's a quick one. She's been working on leashed walks and she's picking it up like a champ. She takes treats easily, which will make training her a breeze and she has a good, healthy appetite. Cora will make a fabulous family dog with older, respectful children. She has not been around small children to our knowledge. She's probably chase cats, so just be aware of that. Cora is up to date on her vaccinations, is spayed, and is microchipped. Her adoption fee is $300 All Second Chance Dog Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, are up to date on vaccines and have microchips prior to adoption. Adoption fees vary depending on age of dog. Fees help Second Chance Dog Rescue cover spay/neuter costs, vaccinations, medical treatments, food and supplies. Please go to .secondchancedogrescue and complete an application today! All dogs live in private foster homes until they are adopted.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Dachsador, a charming crossbreed of the Dachshund and Labrador Retriever, originated from the desire to blend the playful spirit of the Lab with the distinctive build of the Dachshund. Physically, they are incredibly diverse, often displaying the longer body of the Dachshund with the more robust head and sometimes webbed feet of the Labrador. Their coat can vary widely in color and texture, from short and smooth to longer and denser. Temperamentally, Dachsadors are generally friendly, intelligent, and affectionate, making them wonderful companions. They can be good with families, though early socialization is key, and their energy levels mean they thrive with regular exercise. While adaptable, their size can range from medium to large, influencing their suitability for apartment living; a home with a yard is often preferred. Potential health concerns can include those common to their parent breeds, such as back problems (Dachshund) and hip/elbow dysplasia or eye conditions (Labrador), necessitating responsible breeding and veterinary care.
