Calling all senior pet lovers!
Introducing Sandy, our sweet little 12 pound senior dachshund mix. Sandy is around 9-10 years old and in need of a quiet retirement home. She has done well with other small dogs after slow and supervised introductions. Sandy's foster mom describes her as a true velcro dog, always following her person with a happy wagging tail. She loves nothing more than to lounge around in the sun and enjoy belly rubs, like a true couch potato! As an older lady, she would probably do best in an adult home where someone is home most of the day. She has been diagnosed with IBD which is well controlled on a daily pill as well as a special diet. Sandy is also crate trained and housebroken. If you would like to meet Sandy or would like some additional information, please feel free to reach out by phone so we can talk to you directly.
