Our Miami team has been busy! In the past few months, we have had an abundance of intakes, especially in southern Florida. Special shout-out to the incredible Miami Dachshund Club for making this lifesaving work possible!

Looking for a sweet senior girlie with plenty of personality? Then look no further – Coco is your perfect prissy princess! 

 

At 13 years young, Coco weights about 10 pounds and is working on gaining weight following her recent dental. She's fully housetrained, enjoys short walks, and would love a yard for playing. She has a sensitive stomach and a grade 1 heart murmur. Coco loves all people, dogs, and even cats. Coco has old sternum and hip injuries and needs to be picked up carefully. 

 

She's being fostered with the lovely Loki (also adoptable!) in Hendersonville, NC.

Bringing a dog into your home is an exciting and deeply rewarding decision, but it also comes with important responsibilities and expectations. To help future adopters feel prepared, we asked our fosters, volunteers, and board members to share what they think everyone should know before adopting a dog.

 

Isabell (Foster/Adoption Coordinator) shares:

Before adopting a dog, it’s important to understand that you’re taking on a long term commitment that requires time, patience, and the ability to provide a safe and loving home, especially for breeds like the Dachshund, which often live around 12 to 16 years on average.

 

Quinn (Volunteer/Adopter) adds:

Be ready to adjust. Give yourself and your new family member lots of grace while everyone settles in.

 

Julie (President/Board Member) emphasizes the importance of transition:

All dogs, especially rescues, have a transition period when going to a new home, so understanding the process is essential to ensure a successful adoption. She also recommends reviewing helpful resources like the new dog adjustment guide from Preventive Vet, which she regularly shares with adopters.

 

Julie also highlights another key point: research and understand the breed before you adopt. Knowing common behaviors and potential medical conditions can help set realistic expectations and ensure a better match.

 

Jemma (Foster/Adopter/Foster Coordinator) reminds us:

It can take months to see your dog’s full personality come out after adoption. Try to be patient and curious as they learn to trust you.
