Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Vera's Skye is a beautiful 7-year-old Red Piebald Dachshund recently rescued by NorthStar and who is now in a loving foster home. She came into rescue with a mammary tumor but that has been removed by the vet and she is completely healed. Skye is very sweet but she is shy. She loves being outdoors whenever possible. She gets along well with all the dogs in her foster home but she will chase the cats. Skye has done well being crated when necessary and she appears to be housebroken. If you would like to give Skye a new home, please fill out an adoption application and be sure to mention her name, VERA'S SKYE!

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.
