Hi, I’m Lucy, a very young 12 year old Dapple Dachshund. I say I’m very young because, even though I’m an older gal, I am very playful and energetic, more like a dog half my age. Now, if only my foster sisters and brother would play with me I’d be the happiest dog in the house.
I came to VIP Rescue because my humans got divorced and where they live now does not welcome dogs, even well-behaved dogs like me. So, here I am in search of a new family who will play with me, and definitely let me snuggle up and more importantly to just chill with me, enjoying this wonderful thing called life. I immediately took to my new foster parents, they happily oblige me by petting me whenever I ask. Life is good! Better yet, I knew what the doggie doors are (it took me about 5 minutes to find and use them), and haven’t had one accident in the house in the entire time I’ve been with my new foster parents. What a good girl I am! I do have a cataract in my left eye, but that doesn’t slow me down one bit. And that skin irritation I had seems to be under control with the medication the dogtor gave me. You may be surprised when you first see me, as I’m not your average looking Doxie. I’m larger (longer and taller) than you’d expect, I’m just over 28 pounds and Dapple color. So whatya think, huh? Am I the gal for you??? I sure hope so, I just know my new “fur”ever home is out there. I’m current on all my vaccines, spayed, microchipped and on monthly heartworm and flea prevention, I’ve also had a fresh dental. Woo hoo!If you’d like to meet me, please submit an application at VIPRescue.org and the wonderful people there will swing into action. I can’t wait to meet you!
