Good Morning Friends. Look at this sweet boy! Will you help us find him the adoptive home he needs? Your share today could do that!
"Hi there. My name is Ccami. I am a 12 year old, male dachshund who weighs 15 pounds. I am looking for an adoptive home as my long-time family can no longer keep me. While I am a senior I still love to play with toys, play fetch and practice the zoomies. The benefit of adopting a senior dog is that I am not always playful and needing attention. I can lounge around and nap like a mature dog does.
I have never lived with another dog but with time around a new dog, I can adapt to them. I would prefer a dog my speed, not a youngster! I live with 2 cats right now and do just fine around them. I joined my family when their kids were school-aged. I grew older with them, and now I'm at the point in my life where I'd not want to live with young kids.
The cats in my home keep me company. It's been 5 years since I had to stay completely alone at home when the humans went off to work and school. If I got to choose, I'd rather not be left completely alone once I move. I hope the humans are around often or they have friendly cats or perhaps a senior dog who would enjoy my companionship. I can wait to potty for quite a while though I'd rather not have to hold it too long. It gets harder as a dog ages to do so-just as it does with humans!
Daily walks are awesome. I am very good on leash. If the walk gets too long, I appreciate being carried. I can handle stairs at this time but keep in mind my breed-we have short legs and long backs. That can mean back trouble if we take stairs too fast or we are allowed to get too heavy. I bark! I bark out of excitement when my humans return home, when I need to get out to potty or I when I want a cookie from my cookie jar. I will howl when the humans leave the house so I am a dog who should not live in an apartment or home where walls are shared with neighbors.
My best new life will be with someone who can afford my vet care. I very badly need a dental. A full senior exam with lab work, a urinalysis, and updating my vaccines should all be done when I am adopted. Good quality dog food and regular veterinary care is so important for all dogs but especially seniors. I would like to be as healthy and comfortable as I possibly can be.
I love people, and I love my family. My hope is to find a new family where I will continue to be loved and appreciated. I am a cuddly boy who lives to be near my people. If you let me sleep in the bed with you, I will keep you warm! I am a great ride-along buddy in the car. I have taken long road trips. My family says I am loyal and smart. I have a lot of love to share. I will need a new home soon so please, tell all of your friends about me. Surely there is someone out there who is looking for a new family member like me!"
Ccami is located in Lynnwood, WA. For contact information please email: [email protected]
