LUCITA - DACHSHUND / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Dachshund / Mixed (short coat). Meet Lucita! Or as her fosters call her Lucy/Lucy Lou/Potato Lucita made the trip to Minnesota from Mexico in March 2026 after being found with milk but no puppies. At 3 years old, Lucita is a sturdy 27 lb "daschund mix" who prefers to spin through life- she's fully capable of walking straight she just prefers to spin. The more comfortable and relaxed she is the less she spins. Speaking of preferences- Lucita prefers humans over other animal companions. In her foster home she peacefully co-exists with 2 dogs and 3 cats- she would be fine joining a household with other animals but is unlikely to be a playmate. She tends to go into "mommy mode" and be the fun police when other dogs are playing. Another quirk of Lucitas is her underbite- because of the way her teeth lined up it was necessary to remove 17 teeth. She is still able to eat kibble and treats now that she is fully healed- though she does love wet food...or really all food..she's not picky! Lucita is perfectly content to curl up on the couch with you or in your bed but she will also accompany you on walks. She is semi-potty trained- as long as you stick to a routine accidents are minimal, though with focused attention she can definitely be fully potty trained. She quiets down in her kennel and rides well in a car. Lucita excels at telling you when you aren't giving her enough attention- she will stare at you and give a little whine. When playtime hits she can get a little spunky and will do adorable hops and pounce on toys- she can get a little mouthy so older children are recommended although with no teeth in front now she mainly gums you. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee: $450.00
