My story

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

My name is NUTMEG! And I am a TINY GOOF! I am SO EXCITED! About EVERYTHING! I love TOYS! And I love PEOPLE! And I love SNUGGLING! I am a 5 year old black and tan girl. I weigh 10 pounds but I'm on a diet with a goal weight of 8 pounds. About 4 months ago, I hurt my back and my rear legs no longer work. But I'm a happy girl and I don't mind if you don't. I have some special needs but my foster mom can teach you all about how to take care of me. In fact, she wrote a book about it! https://honeyhaveyousqueezedthedachshunddotcom.wordpress.com/ I am a happy, cheerful little companion and I can't wait to find my forever home to settle in, destroy squeakers, and dry your ankles after a shower. I love sleeping in the bed, so I hope my new home will let me do that.

If you are interested in adopting Nutmeg, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to dreamhappytails.org/adoptform.shtml . Nutmeg 's adoption fee is $xxx. All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Nutmeg will go to his/her new home microchipped, altered, heartworm tested, and up to date on vaccinations. Most dogs' veterinary expenses are greater than our adoption fees.

DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group, and we focus on the Atlanta, North Georgia and Savannah area. Because we are all volunteers, we can consider applications only within an hour of these areas. 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.
