  Meet Sombra! ❤️ A Lovely Little Dachshund Terrier Mix Ready for Her Next Chapter! Breed: Dachshund Terrier Mix Gender: Female DOB: 10/30/2019 Age: 7 Years Weight: 16 lbs Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Medical: Spay and Vaccination Status Not Confirmed Personality: Individual Temperament Still Being Evaluated ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Meet Sombra, a beautiful 7-year-old Dachshund Terrier mix weighing just 16 pounds! This lovely little lady is searching for a forever family who will give her the comfort, companionship, and stability she deserves. At seven years old, Sombra has moved beyond the demanding puppy stages, making her a wonderful candidate for someone interested in adopting an adult dog. Her individual personality is still being evaluated, but she has the opportunity to build a loving bond with a family who will give her time to settle in. About the Dachshund Terrier Mix Dachshunds and Terriers are known for their intelligence, determination, loyalty, and curious personalities. Originally bred as working dogs, both breeds can have strong instincts to explore, investigate interesting scents, and engage with their surroundings. As a Dachshund Terrier mix, Sombra may display some of these characteristics: Loyal and Affectionate: Many develop strong attachments to their families. Intelligent and Curious: They often enjoy exploring, scent games, and interactive activities. Independent: Their determined personalities benefit from patient, consistent guidance. Playful: Even mature adults may enjoy toys, games, and daily adventures. Alert: They can be observant and attentive to their surroundings. Because Sombra is a mixed breed, her individual temperament and energy level may vary from these general characteristics. At 16 pounds, Sombra is a manageable size for many households. Her ideal home will provide appropriate exercise, companionship, and a comfortable environment where she can feel secure. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Although Sombra is seven years old, adopters should not assume she is fully house-trained or familiar with household routines. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best. Her future family should be prepared to reinforce house training, leash manners, basic commands, and appropriate household behavior using positive reinforcement. Dachshund Terrier mixes often benefit from daily walks, scent-based activities, and mental enrichment. Exercise should be adjusted to Sombra's individual energy level and physical condition. Sombra is considered suitable for homes with dogs and children, with proper introductions and supervision. Her compatibility with cats is unknown. Understanding the 3-3-3 Rule Every rescue dog needs time to adjust: 3 Days: Decompress and begin feeling safe. 3 Weeks: Learn household routines and build confidence. 3 Months: Develop trust and become more comfortable in the family. These are guidelines, not deadlines. Patience, consistency, and a predictable routine will help Sombra settle into her new home. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Sombra's current spay and vaccination status have not been confirmed. Her adopter should review her medical records and arrange any necessary follow-up care. Dachshund Terrier Health Considerations Because of her breed mix and age, Sombra's future family should be aware of several potential health considerations: Back and Spinal Health: Dachshunds are predisposed to intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). If Sombra has inherited a longer back, limiting repetitive jumping and maintaining a healthy weight may help protect her spine. Joint Health: Smaller dogs may develop kneecap instability or age-related joint discomfort. Dental Care: Regular tooth brushing and veterinary dental examinations are important. Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy body condition supports mobility and overall health. Age-Appropriate Care: As Sombra gets older, regular wellness examinations can help identify changes in mobility, vision, and general health. These are potential breed-related concerns, not diagnosed conditions in Sombra. Her future family should provide nutritious food, routine veterinary care, parasite prevention, grooming, appropriate exercise, and a safe, comfortable home. Adopting Sombra means committing to her well-being throughout her adult and senior years, including any changing medical or physical needs. Adoption Information Interested in giving Sombra a forever home?

Sombra is a lovely little lady with so much life still ahead of her! At seven years old, she deserves the chance to enjoy a home filled with security, companionship, and love. Adult rescue dogs are often overlooked, but they have just as much to offer as younger dogs. Sombra is ready for someone to give her a beautiful new chapter. Could that someone be you? ❤️ This is the standard I'll follow: detailed enough to educate adopters, short enough to hold their attention, and focused on the individual dog.

KARLA: Chiweenie Mix • Spayed Female • 2 Years Old • 17 lbs KARLA is a sweet, calm, and gentle little girl with a tender heart and a quiet way of showing how much she cares. She gets along beautifully with other dogs and is not a barker. She is affectionate, well-mannered, and crate-trained, making her an easy and loving companion. At first, Karla may seem a little independent, quietly taking in her surroundings and figuring out that she is finally safe. But as the day goes on, her sweet personality begins to shine. She seeks out companionship, enjoys being close to her people, and loves receiving affection. Once she trusts you, she wants nothing more than to feel loved and know that she belongs. Karla’s story is heartbreaking. She and three other dogs were rescued from the CAC (Canine Care Center) when they were down to their final hours. We were told that a man had brought them there to be euthanized. Their lives were in danger, and they had no way of knowing that someone would come for them. Thankfully, a rescuer stepped in and gave Karla and the other dogs the second chance they desperately needed. Instead of her story ending in a shelter, Karla now has the opportunity to begin a new chapter—a chapter filled with kindness, safety, love, and a family of her own. Karla has already survived the hardest part. Now she is waiting for someone to show her that her life was worth saving. She deserves a forever home where she will never again have to wonder if she is wanted.

ZOE: Chiweenie German Pinscher Mix / Spayed Female / 1 Year Old / 15 lbs Zoe is a calm, docile, and independent young girl with a tender heart. Although she can be shy and reserved at first, she is not aggressive. She simply needs a little patience and understanding to feel comfortable with new people. Once she begins to feel safe, she will approach on her own to ask for gentle pets, quietly showing you that she is ready to trust. Beneath her reserved nature is a sweet girl who deserves the opportunity to feel secure and loved. Zoe gets along well with other dogs, is not destructive, and is crate trained. She would thrive in a patient, loving home where she can settle in at her own pace, build confidence, and learn that the world can be a kind and beautiful place. Zoe's story is heartbreaking. After her previous owner, a person experiencing homelessness, passed away, Zoe and her little friend were left without anyone willing to take responsibility for them. Through no fault of their own, these two innocent dogs were facing the terrifying possibility of being surrendered to the Canine and Feline Care Center (CAC) for euthanasia. When the rescuer learned of their desperate situation, they stepped in to save them and give them a second chance at life.
