My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Shorty is too sweet to even describe. Her owner passed away and Shorty needed someone to take her in and help her find her forever home. Shorty was loved very, very much and it has led her to being very over weight at the present time. We have had her on a weight loss program since the day she arrived. She gets around very well for having the excess weight to carry around and she loves taking walks. We would want her kept on her diet when she goes into her new home. Losing the excess weight will add years to her life. She is 9-10 yrs old. Dachshunds are known for long life spans, commonly living 16 and more years. Once Shorty loses her additional pounds, she is a very good candidate to live that long! Other than needing to have her amount of food supervised, she is ready to find a new human to give all her love to. Shorty is a black and tan longhair. I recently clipped her coat to get rid if some tangles and to make her feel a little cooler.
