Dolly is a 4 y/o absolute bundle of joy and mischief. She is currently fostered in Darien,

IL and she is being fostered with another dachshund that she loves to snuggle up to

throughout the day. She sometimes plays with dog toys, but she can take or leave them.

Her forever home needs to have another dog. Having come from a big family she must

be touching her human or nestling up to her puppy sibling. She is protective over food,

but she has such a warm, affectionate nature that balances it all out. We are working

on it, and she has gotten so much better.  However, we want her to go to home with older 13+ kids.

Dolly came into rescue with a back issue.  She was walking but she was sore. 

 We are guessing she may have jumped off furniture. She was seem by our DR and put on meds and crate restrictions.  Now has recovered nicely. She really must have ramps

around the house, or she could injure her back again. This is important as she loves to

jump up on anything and everything.

The forever home for Dolly should have someone home more often than not.  She has

some mild anxiety issues that seem to come out when she is left alone. She also is

quite the barker, as most dachshunds are. So, she cannot be in an apartment or home

with shared walls.

Dolly’s favorite thing to do is show her appreciation for everything that you do for her.

After ever meal she has to come give kisses as a thank you. She follows everywhere

you go and her tail wags all day long. She sleeps the best in the big bed and is really

good at using the ramp to get in and out. The ramp for the sofa is a little more difficult

as she wants to jump up and down. Lots of patience for teaching her to always use the

ramp is needed. Even though she loves being curled up to her human in the big bed

she can sleep in the kennel without issues.
