Dachshund

Meet Posey! Posey is an 11-year-old special needs dachshund that is looking for love after all that she has endured. Her life before rescue is a sad one. Posey along with her sister Daisy came to us after years of neglect when it came to their health and well-being. Due to the horrible health they were in, we unfortunately had to make the decision to let Daisy cross the rainbow bridge not 24 hours after we took them in. Since we decided to give Posey a second chance at life, she has become a whole new dog. She came to us with multiple health issues. First and foremost, she was blind from cataracts after prolonged uncontrolled diabetes. Once we got that under control with insulin and diet, we were able to proceed with surgery. She had multiple mammary masses removed, was spayed, and had a dental and only lost 6 teeth. After all this she come out shining like a diamond. She doesn't mind being around other dogs but is also perfectly fine being your one and only. Potty training is a work in progress. She will go out if you are diligent about taking her but otherwise, she will have accidents in the house if not closely watched. Even though she is blind, she has mastered the ramps to get on and off the furniture like a champ and follows voice commands with precision. She does get insulin twice a day and doesn't put up a fuss with the injections. Her favorite time of the day is when it's time to eat. As soon as the kibble hits the bowl she barks with a wagging tail and jumps up on us with excitement. You would never know it because she is only 10 lbs. She loves following us around being our shadow when we are at home to stay near us and feel secure. She loves long naps on the couch on the weekends burrowed under blankets and looks forward to bedtime sleeping between us where she feels safe. We recently received a donated halo from Muffins Halo to help her navigate her new home once she is adopted. After all this girl has endured in her 11 years, we cannot be prouder of her with all that she has been thru with us. We just want her to live out the time she has left in a loving, caring home. She is currently being fostered in Seven Hills, OH, in Cuyahoga County. If you have any questions for her foster parents do not hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected]
