Adoption information
About Amari - 3 Year Old Dachshund
Available for Adoption: *Amari* Mini Dachshund, (Long hair) 3years 10 months
Amari is small, delicate, and has a beautiful nature. She thrives on love and companionship and will form a very close bond with her people.
Her home environment should not have many stairs, and should minimise jumping, by her using ramps for couches and beds, gentle confident handling from people who understand her size and how to keep her safe with extra care for her back, which is especially important for all Dachshunds.
Ideally, her people will already know the breed or be willing to learn, and plan for appropriate insurance early, since back issues can be common.
She is best suited to a home with older, respectful teenagers and up, and people who can handle her gently and safely.
Due to her tiny size and low-to-the-ground stature, Amari may also be a trip hazard for some people, particularly the elderly. With a life expectancy of around 14 to 16 years, her future family should be ready to make a long-term commitment to her health, safety, and wellbeing for the entirety of Amari’s life.
Amari has come from a breeding background where she struggled with flea irritation, which led to significant scratching and hair loss. While she has already started her journey towards healthier skin and coat, she is still quite bald in some areas, particularly around her lower back, bottom and tail. Some of her coat is expected to regrow with time and proper care, while some areas may remain thin, as dachshunds can naturally be prone to hair loss.
She is currently thriving on a Lyka fresh food diet and will need an adopter committed to continuing a high-quality fresh food diet. Good nutrition will play an important role in helping Amari build strong muscles, support her growing body, and continue improving the condition of her skin and coat. Her new family should understand the importance of balanced nutrition and be committed to supporting her ongoing health and wellbeing.
Amari is easy going at bedtime, she is happy to sleep in her crate, or she will happily curl up in bed with her humans all night long.
Amari is dog-friendly and gets along well with other small dogs, making her a lovely addition to a home looking for a gentle, affectionate companion. With her sweet nature and devotion to her people, she is sure to become someone’s little shadow and best friend.
A home with a doggy door is important so she can continue her toilet training.
