Giving

Post Date: 9/6/11

Breed: Double Dapple Dachshund Terrier {mix}

Age/Sex:  1 yr/Female

Giving is a 1 year old spayed Double Dapple Dachshund/Terrier mix who needs a home to call her own. She was rescued from a shelter when only a few days old and taken into foster care. While with her first foster mom, it was identified that Giving had special needs that would require someone with a special heart to care for her. At eight weeks old, she moved in with her current foster mom and fur-siblings but no rescue has ever stepped forward to take this girl as their own. During the last few months, it has been determined that Giving is not as disabled as it originally seemed. Her foster mom feels that Giving will blossom and strive if she is given then chance to show how "non-disabled" she really is.  

 

It was originally thought that Giving was completely deaf and blind and would be "special needs" for her life. This thankfully is not the case. She does have the ability to see but is deaf. She has learned to take cues from other dogs when it is time to come inside from playing. As you can see in her pictures, she loves to play in the dirt! When the other fur kids hear the backdoor open, they come running. Giving sees them running to the backdoor and joins in the fun (which of course ends in a treat!). If for some reason she misses their cue, she will finish her sniffing and then lift her head to find a fur kid in the back yard. When one is not found, she knows it's time to come to the backdoor to come in.

 

Giving weighs between 15 to 20 pounds. She is up to date on all of her shots, heartworm negative, spayed, and is crate trained. Giving enjoys her crate since this is where she is fed and receives a treat every time she goes in. She also makes up her own games in her crate at night when it's time for bed. She gets along well with other dogs and kids. She likes cats but doesn't understand why they don't want to play with her all the time. Giving is a very loving girl that just wants to be with her people, but is fine to be on her own and play with her toys. She likes to sit with her people at night while watching TV. It's time for this "no-so-special" needs girl to have her moment in the sun and live the life she was always meant to have. Can you please help her find her find a rescue and a fur-ever home?
