About Kennedy

Kennedy is a 7-year-old female Dachshund, weighing about 10 lbs, looking for her forever home with Pawsitive Tails Dog Rescue. This sweet girl has been released from a breeding situation and is understandably a bit timid around people. She's more at ease with other dogs, so having a well-balanced canine companion would be beneficial for her adjustment. Kennedy isn't familiar with leash walks yet, and she'll need a fenced yard to explore safely. She requires a dental procedure, which is why she is available for local adopters only until that is completed. This little lady is ready to find a patient and loving environment where she can grow comfortable. Ready to meet this shy gem? Apply to adopt today!
