Description
Dog Breed: Dachshund (short coat). Adoption Fee: 300.00. Meet Lucy! ❤️ This sweet senior lady is looking for her forever home at the tender age of 12½. Lucy is a gentle, affectionate girl with a heart full of love and a spirit that shines through every wag of her tail. When Lucy came to us, she was carrying a little too much love, weighing in at over 18 pounds. Her diet is already going wienerful—she has shed 3 pounds and has just 5 more to go to reach her ideal weight! Lucy recently had a dental and senior wellness blood panel and is ready to settle into a loving new home. Lucy is not a fan of large dogs. She currently coexists peacefully with her foster brother and sisters but prefers not to interact much. Lucy is blind in her right eye, so if another dog approaches her from that side, she may react. A laid-back canine companion could be a good fit, as long as they respect Lucy's space. She also requires daily eye drops. If you're looking for a devoted companion who wants nothing more than to love you, be loved in return, and spend her golden years by your side, Lucy may just be your perfect match. ❤️ Age: 12½ years Adoption Fee: $300 Apply only at: Paw Affection Rescue If you have questions that aren't answered in Lucy's bio, please feel free to call or email.

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.
