Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Roo is a cuddly and spunky 3yr old miniature dachshund with blue dapple short hair. We love this girl to pieces but a recent injury left her partially incontinent and her back legs paralyzed. As such, she needs special care - namely, somebody who can be available to express her bladder (i.e., press gently on her tummy where her bladder is so that she can pee) 4-5x times a day. Her new home needs somebody who works from home or who is generally at home during the day. Roo is not a good fit for families that work away from the home from 9-5pm.
>>About the Injury: Roo ruptured a disc in her back and was diagnosed IVDD level 5 with no deep pain in early March 2025. We got her into surgery right away but, given the severity of the injury, they do not know if she will walk again. We have been on a diligent physical therapy regiment and believe that, with continued time and physical therapy, there is a chance Roo will walk again. She does not need specific vet care or medications, just TLC.
