OWEN - DACHSHUND / SHIH TZU / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Dachshund / Shih Tzu / Mixed (medium coat). Owen is seven years old and 20 lbs. His family adopted him as a puppy but no longer has time to care for him. He's neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. If you have a place in your heart for this sweet senior, please apply online and we'll be in touch. Here's what his family shared with us: Adoption Application - Legacy Humane Society Owen has been a beloved member of our family since he was a puppy and has been loved for the past seven years. He grew up alongside my children from the time they were 2 and 4 years old, making him a wonderful family companion throughout their childhood. Owen is incredibly affectionate and loves being with his people. He gets excited to greet family and visitors when they come home and never turns down belly rubs, ear scratches, or cuddling on a soft, cozy bed. He enjoys following his people from room to room and is happiest simply being near the family. During thunderstorms or loud weather, he appreciates having someone close to help him feel safe. We completed a DNA test that showed Owen is about 45% Shih Tzu, although he looks much more like a Dachshund mix. He has lived peacefully with our cat for years and enjoys having a feline companion. Owen is more of a laid-back dog and prefers calm, respectful dogs over energetic ones. He is happy to coexist but isn't interested in rough play or being constantly pestered by other dogs. Owen is house-trained and crate trained, although he much prefers having the freedom to relax around the house when his family is home. He loves comfortable places to nap and has an easygoing personality that fits well in a calm home. He is neutered and current on all vaccinations. Owen is a sweet, loyal companion with so much love to give, and we truly believe he will thrive with a family that can provide him with the time, affection, and companionship he deserves. We do not have a facility to house the dogs in our program. They are all kept in foster homes until they are adopted. Therefore, if you are interested in adopting from LHS, please complete an online application at legacyhumanesociety/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ and we will contact you asap about the status of your application.
