🌟 Meet Printz, a delightful 7-year-old red smooth coat dachshund who's ready to steal hearts! Weighing in at a cuddly 17.2 pounds, this charming boy believes that great things come in medium packages. Despite some mobility hurdles, Printz shines with a heart full of love and a positive spirit that will brighten your days! 🌈 Printz is searching for a nurturing and loving home where patience is key. He does get a tad anxious when left alone, so having someone around most of the time is essential for his comfort. Currently on crate rest due to a back injury, this adorable pup needs a little boost with his mobility. With some assistance from a sling, he takes on the world with joy! 🌍 No yard? No problem! Printz adapts perfectly to homes without one, as long as he can cozy up with his people. When it comes to socializing, Printz loves to be near his person and showcases his affectionate side once he warms up. His gentle nature makes him an ideal companion. He's friendly with small dogs; in fact, he's quite the social butterfly in multi-dog households! 🦋 However, Printz is untested with children or cats, so a calm home with considerate older kids would be essential. Watch out if he's munching, though—a little food aggression means he prefers solitude while enjoying his meals! 🍽️ Printz has some unique health needs due to his back injury that require a dedicated family. He needs assistance with bladder and bowel expression, but his sweet disposition makes the extra care more than worth it! 📅 A small dose of trazodone can help with any discomfort or anxiety he might feel—he's just a sensitive soul needing a bit of extra TLC. 🌷 Located in Gastonia, NC, Printz prefers a home within reasonable driving distance, as long car rides can be a challenge for him. If you feel the calling to provide this loving boy the forever home he deserves, *please apply through the Buddy App*. His adoption fee is $150. ❤️ Don’t wait—Printz is eager to wiggle his way into your heart!
