Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Coco is in need of a new home. Last year in late July her family found out she had a disc in her back that was totally obliterated. After surgery her family saw a slight improvements in mobility, we also have to assist her when using the bathroom as she cannot support her own weight. In November Coco's family had their first baby; Coco used to go to the door to let us know she had to go out but even before the baby she had accidents. They feel it has now become a safety issue for the new baby and Coco's ability to control her bladder has not improved. She is a total lover but her family can no longer give her the attention she needs; she deserves to be happy again and I know she can make someone really happy and has a wonderful temperament.
Coco is a "spinal walker" which means she doesn't put as much weight on her hind legs as most dogs, and she gets around great. Coco loves to play fetch non stop and runs full speed after the ball!
All dogs available for adoption live in our home in Killingworth, Connecticut until they find their forever homes. When inquiring about a dog please let us know where you are located (local adoptions only, within 3 hours of Killingworth), if you have had previous Dachshund experience, if you have a fenced in yard, about your work hours, about your family - including pets, if you or anyone in your household smoke, and what you are looking for in your adopted dog.
