Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (long coat). Adoption Fee: $250. Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. Energy level: low, a true couch potato Potty training: trained Fenced yard: required Shared walls: not suitable (she's quite chatty) People: all Dogs: all Other: senior girl who thrives on companionship and does best with someone home often Looking for a devoted companion to spend her golden years curled up beside you? Meet Rory, an 11-year-old purebred dachshund weighing in at 27 lbs, with a gorgeous red, long coat and a whole lot of love to give. Rory came to Little Paws as an owner surrender and she's settled into foster life as the happiest, most affectionate girl, content to nap the day away or cuddle up next to her favorite person. She may be picky about her food, but she is not picky about who she loves on. Rory is fully potty trained and does best with access to a fenced yard. She's a low-key, low-energy girl who's happiest lounging around the house rather than out on adventures, and she uses a pen rather than a crate. She does have some separation anxiety and doesn't do well left alone for long stretches, so she'll thrive with a family who can offer plenty of company throughout the day. She's quite the talker, so a home without shared walls will keep everyone happiest. When she does get out and about, she handles even long car rides like a champ. Rory is so happy and affectionate with her people and adores cuddling up with them whenever she can. She's a bit wary of new faces at first, but warms up nicely once she gets some attention. She's easygoing around other dogs, though she's more of an observer than a playmate. Because she needs a restricted diet to help manage her weight, she can be a bit of a picky eater, so patience at mealtime goes a long way with this sweet lady. Rory is currently carrying extra weight, which has led to some liver strain, so she is on a restricted diet to help her slim down and feel her best. She also has reduced vision due to retinal scarring, though it doesn't slow her down one bit around her familiar people and spaces. With a caring home and some diet management, Rory has every chance to feel healthier and more comfortable with each passing month. Rory is available for adoption from Herndon, VA. Please email Annie at intakelittlepawsdr with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Rory is $250.

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.
