Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Jasper (on the left) is a 15 pound 6 year old male and Luna is a 12 pound 6 year old female. These 2 are littermates and we are hoping that we can find them a forever home together. They are well behaved and sweet as can be. Jasper had an old back issue that left his reflexes in his hind feet a tad slower than they used to be, but he’s perfectly fine now. They are happy pair who listen well and are ready for their forever home! They are good with all people and with other dogs. 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. If you have any questions about adoption or want more info, you can email: infodachshundrescuesouthflorida

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.
