Dutches My name is Dutches, and I am a cheerleader for the best qualities of the dachshund breed. I am loving. I am cute. I am fearless. I have the big eyes. I have the long ears. I have the cuddles. I have the guard dog bark. I am a six year old girl, black and tan, and very shiny!. I am friendly to everyone I meet. I love to sit and watch television. I love to play with toys. I love to wrestle with my Dachshund friends. I love to bark through the fence. I also have a couple of the qualities dachshunds are famous for that are maybe not the best. I have a couple of health issues that my new home will need to be aware of. I have had a problem with my back, and although I can walk again fine I am still working on getting better and better at walking straight and on my bladder and bowel control. My foster mom is taking me to physical therapy and doing exercise exercises with me that will help make me stronger in that way, and my new home will need to continue those. I had a severe bout of bladder stones, and now I eat a special food for the rest of my life to make sure I won’t need to have surgery on my bladder again. DREAM has helped dogs of all capability levels and we believe Dutches really easy to care for. Resource material is available for you to order as well. One of the original board members wrote this extremely helpful book about day to day life with a "down dog".... Honey Have You Squeezed the Dachshund . If you are interested in adopting Dutches, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to our online adoption application. Dutches's adoption fee is $350. All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Dutches will go to his / her new home microchipped, altered, heartworm tested, up to date on vaccinations, and with all other medical needs addressed. Almost every dog's veterinary expense is greater than our adoption fees. DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group. We focus on the metro Atlanta area and can assist throughout the state of Georgia. Since our rescue is entirely run and staffed by volunteers, our ability to travel long distances for adoptions is somewhat limited. We focus on Georgia, but if you are in a neighboring state, we might be able to work something out - we'll expect you to do your part. DREAM does not recommend purebred dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a doxie's back. Follow us on Instagram , Facebook and Twitter
If you have any questions or would like to adopt Dutches-Adoption Pending, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
