Meet An Adoptable Dog
My Story
Reason for being in rescue: Breeder release
Special Needs: Pebbles is spayed, up to date on vaccines and heartworm negative. Pebbles has been diagnosed with Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), a condition that affects her spine and requires special care. Because of her IVDD, Pebbles needs to live in a home without stairs.
What kind of home would be best for me: Meet sweet Pebbles, a beautiful long-haired Dachshund with a heart full of love! Pebbles has been diagnosed with Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), a condition that affects her spine and requires special care. Because of her IVDD, Pebbles needs to live in a home without stairs.
IVDD is a degenerative disease where the spinal discs in the vertebrae bulge or rupture, putting pressure on the spinal nerves. This can lead to pain, difficulty walking, nerve damage, and even paralysis. The condition often results from acute injuries, such as when dachshunds go up or down stairs or jump onto furniture. To ensure Pebbles stays safe, her adopters must prevent her from climbing stairs or jumping on couches, chairs, etc. While IVDD is a manageable condition, her adopters will need to monitor her activities carefully.
Aside from her IVDD, Pebbles is a happy girl who will make a wonderful companion. She’ll thrive in either an apartment or house, as long as her environment is safe for her condition. Pebbles doesn’t mind whether her adopter is single, a couple, or a family—she just wants to be loved and cared for. If there are children in the home, older kids (12+ years) who understand the importance of not picking her up or letting her jump will be best for her.
What is my personality like: Pebbles is a calm, relaxed little girl. Pebbles gets along well with smaller, calmer dogs but isn’t fond of rough play, likely due to her back issues. She also loves her nap time, so a cozy dog bed is a must for her to relax and rest comfortably. If you’re looking for a loving little companion who will bring joy to your life, Pebbles is the girl for you!
How do I act when I first meet new people: Pebbles is friendly and enjoys attention. She’ll always be at the door to greet you when you come home, eager for love and affection.
Tips and Tidbits: Pebbles' birthday is 2/3/2020.
House trained: Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule if a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule.
Potential Adopters
Please note - we do not ship or transport our dogs. If you are interested in adopting a dog, take a look at the distance between the dog's location and your location and make sure you are able to make the trip.
Thank you for your interest in a dog who needs a new home. This description contains all that we currently know about this dog. We have no perfect dogs - but many of our dogs have proven to be perfect for a certain someone. We urge all of our potential adopters not to fall in love with a picture. When screening applications, we look at the entire home and then make suggestions based on what would be a good fit for your home. You are not being screened for a specific dog although we are looking to see what type of dog interests you - poodles or non poodles, age, temperament, personality, etc. Our goal is to match you with the best possible pet for you and your home. We want to create furever families.
