Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Millie!! To apply, please complete an application on the website - www.hearts4doxiesrescue.org - applicants who meet the requirements will be notified.
3 year old Millie will melt your heart as soon as you lay eyes on her. She weighs approximately 10 lbs. and is extremely sweet, gentle, shy and sensitive. Millie's young life was not the best as she was kept as a breeding pup -- she takes a little time to warm up but once she feels safe, her love is unconditional.
Dachshunds backs are fragile and therefore her weight must be kept ideal along with a quality diet to keep her skin/coat healthy and a joint supplement. It is also best for dachshunds to not have to do many stairs in the home and to use ramp/stairs for sofas or bed.
Millie is tiny and does not like quick, fast movements therefore, children must be over 12 years old. She loves to go on walks which helps with leash skills, potty training, socialization and enjoy new experiences. Millie can be a bit of a barker when outside however, she is a good listener. She loves to be included in family adventures, cuddle with dog friends (has not been exposed to cats) and sleep in the big bed.
Requirements:
* Single family dwelling ownership (no condos, townhomes, duplex)
* Secure fenced yard
* Work from part, part-time hours (4 hours), early retired, home full time
* Canine companionship (same breed, age, energy)
* Breed specific knowledge & experience
* Children 12 years +
* Active, quiet lifestyle
