ADOPTED!-Doxie

Sweet Doxie has been adopted! Animal’s name: Doxie Age (years): 7-10 yrs Weight (pounds): 17 Spayed/Neutered: Yes Sex: Female Coat: Smooth Color: Red My mom recently passed away and she left a red short haired dachshund behind. I am her daughter and I'm currently taking care of Doxie. Unfortunately Doxie is used to having her own person, no other animals, and a fenced yard. We live in Colorado Springs outside the city limits. We don't have a fenced yard and we have frequent visits from coyotes, bears, and bobcats. We have a blue heeler/border collie who is not happy to share her home. Doxie can continue to live with us but ultimately we need to find her a good home. Is this something you can help with? I would be happy to pay part of her adoption fee, and drive to Ft. Collins if you have meetings with prospective adoptive families. She was rescued from the Humane Society and lived with my mom for 5 years. We aren't sure of her age - the Human Society estimated it at 5 years when she was adopted but my mom's vet thought she was younger - maybe two. The records at her current vet list her as 10 (using the Humane Society age of 5). She is current on her shots (K9 Rabies, DA2PCPV, and Leptospirosis. Her teeth were good at her last visit in October 2009. She has had dental work in the past - cleaning and some teeth have been extracted. She currently weighs 17 lbs which the vet things is a good weight for her. She has heartworm pills that she will start taking them in May. Doxie is a sweet dog, loves to burrow under quilts (my mom was a quilter), cuddle and loves to go on walks. She likes to spend time outdoors in my mom's fenced yard and sits in the sun. She is not good with most other dogs. She does get along with my Blue Heeler/Border Collie. I think it is because she met Denali when my mom first adopted her and saw her every week when I had lunch with mom. Doxie is smart but stubborn - I guess that is common with dachshunds. She is house trained and can ride in the car without being crated. She has been around my sister's children (ages 7 and 14) and gets along fine with them. My mom also had women come in to sew once a week up until a year ago and Doxie did fine with them as well. My mom was not in good health the past couple of years so Doxie didn't get much exercise or play time. She loves her toys and will throw them around herself. I took her for walks which she loves and now she is walking with me every day. This Colorado Sweetheart is a Colorado Dachshund Rescue friend. All of our dogs, are spay and neutered, up to date on vaccines and are heartworm negative and on preventative. Most also have a dental done. We rehome close to 100 Dachshunds each year, and save many of them from certain death at local shelters. By working with local shelters, we are able to give them a second chance to find their new forever homes.

Teresa-thanks for your time the other night.  Here are a couple of pictures of
Inky-she does not like to have her picture taken.  She is a 10 year old SF.  Her
owner recently passed away, he was 94 years old.  She gets along great with other
dogs and cats and is very friendly and sweet.  She is housebroken but was allowed to
use a peri-pad in the house so she would benefit from some extra training.  She
sleeps well in a flight kennel at night and walks well on a leash.  She was recently
diagnosed with Cushings disease and is currently receiving treatment.  She would
prefer a house with someone home most of the time as she does not like to spend too
much time alone.
