My story

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

Yara, (more white) age 5, and Zuri, (more brown) age 3, are bonded double piebald miniature smooth dachshunds. Tiny girls, Yara weighs about 9 pounds and Zuri weighs about 13 pounds. Yara is completely blind and Zuri has limited vision in one eye and no vision in the other eye. Their vision loss is due to double dapple or double piebald gene.

Yara and Zuri are very loving sweethearts who are looking for a home together. The fact that they have vision impairment doesn’t slow them down or diminish their love of life in their foster home in Texas! They are very bonded and always want to be together. They love to play together and will happily spend the entire day together. Yara and Zuri are so bonded that their foster mom in Texas says it is like having just one dog as wherever one goes, the other is right there as well. The two of them do all things together, including eating out of the same bowl!

This sweet and loving pair like nothing more than cuddling up with their person. They have not been tested with children and due to their lack of vision we would not recommend them for a home with children under the age of 13 years. They have not been cat tested but do get along with other dogs however due to their lack of vision and small stature we constant supervision would be a must.

Yara and Zuri are house trained and crate trained. They love their crate and sleep together in it at night. Yara and Zuri will need time and patience in their new home to become accustomed to where their potty area will be and how to get there. All rescue dogs go thru a period of adjustment so understanding and patience is important, but for these vision impaired sweeties patience and love will be doubly important.

Yara and Zuri are not leash trained and quite fearful on the leash. They require a yard with a very secure fence and no pool access (again due to their vision loss ). Their safety must be always a consideration

If you are ready to meet the loves of your life please apply to adopt these two little cuddle bugs today. They would love to snuggly up beside you on the couch as soon as possible !
