Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the lovely Mr. Darcy! 🌟 At a distinguished age of 10 years and a heart full of love, this gentle fellow is on the lookout for his forever home. He came to the rescue when his elderly owner could no longer care for him, and now he's ready to bring joy and warmth into your life. However, Mr. Darcy has faced some challenges—he recently had bladder stone surgery, and while he's healing, he'll need a special prescription urinary care diet along with frequent vet visits to keep those pesky stones at bay. Think of him as your furry health companion! 🐾 Despite his age, Mr. Darcy is bursting with energy and happiness! His recent weight loss of eight pounds has given him a newfound pep that will make your heart skip a beat. He takes a little time to warm up, but once he does, be prepared for a snuggler who will worm his way into your heart, beautifully softening your soul. He loves car rides 🚗, walks on a leash, and... oh, did I mention he adores snoozing in a big bed? 😴💕 Now, he does come with a few needs: he requires an at-home adopter with a secure fenced yard (a cozy spot for him to roam around safely). Potential adopters should have experience with dachshunds, as Mr. Darcy will need some patience and gentle housetraining—just like training a puppy! 🐶📝 Also, he would prefer a quiet home without children or large dogs, but he might just open up to an older dog buddy. After all, it’s all about having that good energy around him! So, if you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate companion to share your quiet moments with, let Mr. Darcy steal the show in your life! He's truly a dog that needs a big heart to give him a chance to thrive. 🌈 Mr. Darcy is currently being fostered in Maryland, so local adopters get parent-priority! Applicants, get ready to drive to Ellicott City for a heartwarming meet-and-greet with this delightful boy. Don’t miss your chance to bring home Mr. Darcy—apply through the Buddy App today! His loving future is just a click away! ❤️✨
