Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Well hi there. If you could see me right now you would know my tail is already wagging. My name is Tansy and I am an easygoing and happy girl. I am 12 years old and was found as a stray. My owner had me microchipped so the shelter was able to call them to come get me. They said they would pick me up but never did. It makes me sad and probably makes you sad too. But you know what…I lead a happy life regardless of the cards I was dealt. :) DDRTX took me in and promised to take care of me until I find my forever home. I am great with other dogs and am potty trained. My foster mom has never seen me around cats but she says I am so laid back that she thinks I would be just fine with them. I am not one to care for toys but I do happy dances when you get home from work because I am so excited you are back. My favorite things are napping and hanging out with my human. If you would like to meet me, make sure to fill out an application! 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.
