Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). 2 year old male 29 pounds From Puerto Rico Sweet and happy boy Good with other dogs Good with adults and older children Jimmy is obese, he is on a weight loss plan and we will only adopt him to a family that is committed to continue this plan. The weight he is at is unhealthy for him and we want him to be the very best Jimmy that he can be. When Jimmy is matched with an approved adoptive family, they will talk with the foster family about what is being done to help Jimmy drop the pounds. He’s already down almost 3 pounds. He should be under 20 pounds. Jimmy will not be adopted to a family with small children, he is afraid of them and we don’t want him scared If you are interested in adopting me, please complete the DRSF Online Adoption form. My adoption fee covers all my (prior) vet care (adopter receives vet records). For more information refer to the DRSF Adoption Fee page.

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.
