Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund. “Mabel is a 5-year-old, spayed dog who has been with our family since she was a puppy. She weighs approximately 13 pounds and is up to date on her rabies vaccination, with her most recent vaccination records available from 2024. Mabel is an independent little dog with a strong personality. She thrives with people who understand canine body language and can provide clear boundaries and consistency. Because of her history, she would be best suited for an adult-only home or a home with experienced dog owners who can help her feel secure and respected. Over the past five years, Mabel has had several incidents where she attempted to bite, typically involving food-related situations or when resisting handling. For this reason, it is important that any potential adopter understands her behavioral needs and is willing to manage them appropriately. Despite these challenges, Mabel has been a beloved member of our family, and our goal is to find her a safe, understanding home where she can succeed. We are committed to being transparent about her history and helping connect her with the right adopter. Vaccination records and additional information are available upon request.” Contact brittsmilesgmail COURTESY POST PLEASE CONTACT BRITT DIRECTLY

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.
