  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?

Our adoption process helps match each dog with a family prepared to provide the care, patience, and lifelong commitment they deserve. 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.

Sula is a 2-3 year old Dachshund mix weighing about 15lbs.  Sula came to us with a few other dogs when her owners could no longer care for her.  She was very nervous when she first got to us, but has really started coming out of her shell now.  Sula gets along great with other dogs, people, and cats.  She is super, super sweet and loving, it just takes her a little time to come out of her shell and feel comfortable.  Sula will need a forever family who isn't expecting too much from her instantly.  Someone who understands that, just like humans, dogs need patience too, to get to know their forever family and start to feel comfortable. Whoever gives this sweet girl the patience and love she deserves to come out of her shell and fully shine is going to be very lucky because she has so much unconditional love to give! If you are interested in adopting Sula, please fill out our adoption application at brighterdaysdogrescue.com ##2877163##

Don’t let his tiny size fool you — this little dachshund mix puppy is full of love. Around 9 months old, he’s deaf, but that doesn’t slow him down one bit. He unfortunately found himself in an overrun shelter in Texas. We couldn't say no to his cute face. He’s a total sweetheart who loves people, cuddles, and following his humans around with his adorable puppy confidence. He may experience the world a little differently, but he’s just as playful, smart, and loving as any other puppy — and honestly, maybe even more special. He’s looking for a patient, kind home ready to help him grow into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. June 2026 update from the foster family:  Pilot is a smart, playful, cuddly, and friendly puppy. He’s got striking ice blue eyes, a red/tan dapple coat, and he is deaf due to a double merle(dapple)gene mutation. He’s a Dachshund mix and he’s almost 6 months old. He’s very smart and he pays close attention to see what the humans and other animals are doing so he can be a part of the group. He learns signs quickly and he is getting started with wearing an e-collar to help him know when he needs to pause and see what the human wants. He loves to play, chew on toys and sticks, fetch (for a short time), dig, go on walks, and snuggle. He’s looking for a forever home where he can learn to understand and communicate without sound. He’s going to need to have regular veterinary check ups to monitor his vision and other potential issues that can arise from his double merle genetic condition. His skin on his face and his eyes will need to be carefully protected from the sun so he can better avoid sunburns, skin cancer, and cataracts because he is way more susceptible to those than other dogs who don’t have the double merle genes. Like all dachshunds, but also due to his higher risk as a double merle, he will need to be kept from jumping off of things or using a lot of stairs to protect his long spine and short legs. More than the average dog, he will need at least annual vet visits to monitor his health and keep him safe. He’s currently a healthy and strong boy. He likes pretty much all dogs and people, and he's been good with confident cats. He is very interested in our guinea pigs, so I don't leave him alone near them. Luckily, he comes away from them when I signal to him and he readliy accepts diversions. He sleeps on our bed through the night. He likes his crate and he will readily enter it and he settles down quickly if we need him to stay there.  If you want a sweet and smart little companion who you can use hand signals with, please apply to adopt Pilot from Mother Gaia Animal Rescue by filling out the adoption application ##2744552##

Eddie is 4 yrs old and is approx 15 lbs. He is shy around new people and will take patience and reassurance. He can be mouthy when unknown dogs and people come near. He needs to be with someone who has the ability and patience to train him to be more confident and greet others properly. He would also do well in a stand alone home with a fenced yard. Eddie is a sweet boy and loves to cuddle and burrow under blankets. He is definitely food motivated. Eddie doesn’t do well home alone but if he had a person or dog buddy he should do fine. Eddie has his favorite toys and blanket. He will also have a toy box with toys, food, dish, collar/leash, car booster bed and an over the shoulder carry bag.
