Meet Zippy — A Gentle, Seasoned Soul Looking for His Forever Lap Zippy is a 12‑year‑old male dachshund with a soft heart, a calm spirit, and a lifetime of love still to give. Weighing around 13 pounds, he’s the perfect size to curl up beside you and enjoy the quiet moments that make life sweet. He’s had his teeth cleaned, vaccines updated, is microchipped, and is heartworm negative — this little gentleman is fully vetted and ready for his next chapter. ✨ Zippy’s Special Qualities Zippy is vision‑impaired but not blind. He navigates beautifully with a little guidance and will follow your voice or the gentle pat of your hand on your leg. Once he knows your rhythm, he moves with confidence and trust. He is potty trained, kennel trained, and well‑mannered, though he’d much prefer to sleep next to his person. He knows some commands and has the kind of calm, steady presence that only comes with age and wisdom. ✨ His Personality Zippy is laid‑back, gentle, and incredibly loving. He’s currently ignoring the other dogs in his foster home but is slowly warming up as he settles in. He’s not demanding, not needy — just a sweet, quiet companion who wants to be near his person and enjoy a peaceful life. He is a total love bug who will absolutely blossom in a settled, adult home with patient, seasoned companions who appreciate the beauty of a senior dog. ✨ The Home He’s Hoping For Zippy isn’t looking for chaos or adventure — he’s ready to chill by your side, enjoy soft blankets, gentle affection, and the comfort of a predictable routine.
