I'm Sprout, and I am 110% dachshund. I have it ALL -- everything you've heard about dachshunds? I've got it. Snuggly? Check. Food motivated? Yup. Nosy up in all your business? Oh yeah. Demanding of attention? See nosy. Burrow under blankies? All the time. Barky? BARK BARK Back problems? Yup, but I'm a trooper. Funny? SO FUNNY. Sweet kisses? I got 'em. Prey drive. Oh yeah. Show me the squirrel. Nippy with strangers? Well, they're strangers. Duh. Then I sit in their lap. I'm 9 pounds of love and pure nerve. I love my people and I love my doggie friends. I'm a big fan of the couch cuddle and the wrestling zoomies. Adults and kiddos over 10 only please. I had a disc rupture (darn dachshund genes) but I walk pretty normally now. I can run and play but I cannot do stairs. (I can climb a ramp.) I have pretty good control of my bladder but if you give me a little extra squeeze when we go outside (foster mom will teach you), I don't leak in the house. I am about to start some physical therapy to improve my core strength, which will help with that. PILATES, anyone? I am a delight to be around and a real charmer. If you are interested in adopting Sprout, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to our online adoption application. Sprout's adoption fee is $400. All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Sprout will go to his / her new home microchipped, spayed/neutered, heartworm tested, up to date on vaccinations, and with all other medical needs addressed. Almost every dog's veterinary expenses exceed our adoption fees; we are a non-profit. DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group. We focus on the metro Atlanta area and can assist throughout the state of Georgia. Since our rescue is entirely run and staffed by volunteers, our ability to travel long distances for adoptions is somewhat limited. We focus on Georgia, but if you are in a neighboring state, we might be able to work something out - we'll expect you to do your part. DREAM does not recommend purebred dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a doxie's back. Follow us on Instagram , Facebook and Twitter
If you have any questions or would like to adopt Sprout, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
