Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). #5 of 9 - Country Music Stars My name is LeAnn Rimes named after the famous country singer. I came to DDRTX from a hoarding situation with a group called "The Country Music Stars". There are nine of us. LeAnn Rimes is guessed to be 5 years old and only 11 pounds. My foster family is very nice and I'm discovering all kinds of new things! I've learned that there are soft beds and cuddly blankets that I can burrow and sleep in feeling safe and sound. I have a big foster brother who also came from DDRTX. He is showing me what it's like to be with humans, how to go potty outside, and how to look adoringly into my human's eyes to get treats. I even have a foster sister kitty. I'm only 11 lbs and she is much bigger than I am but she is nice and seems to want to cuddle me. My namesake seems to fit me perfectly - LeAnn Rimes (the human) is an advocate for emotional well-being and personal growth. I saw the Dr. Vet for Demodex mange, skin allergies, icky hookworms, and giardia. But I've taken my meds like a good girl and I'm all clear now! Each day I'm feeling a little better physically and emotionally. Note From Foster Mom: This little girl is the sweetest, most gentle, tiny dachshund! In the short time I've had her, she is already showing signs of exploration, trust, and love. Each day she shows bravery and learns something new. She was treated for Demodex mange and a skin infection so her fur is now slowly starting to grow! I can't wait to see her in full bloom! She is getting more comfortable on a leash and has a healthy appetite, which is good because she still needs to gain a little bit of weight! LeAnn would do best in a home where she can get lots of attention, encouragement to learn new things and continue supporting her in her confidence and trust. And of course, most importantly, a lap to cuddle on. Please see FAQs for current adoption fees. DDRTX only adopts in Central/South Texas. Email: ddrtxinfogmail Primary Website: .DDRTX

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.
