About Jenny

Jenny is about 8 years old and a remarkably sweet Dachshund. With her shiny black and golden medium-length coat, she stands out without shedding much. Weighing around 14 lbs, she embodies a calm demeanor that's rare in her breed. Jenny walks well on a leash and seems to be house trained, though there are no guarantees against occasional accidents. A true couch potato, she enjoys lounging on the sofa with her humans and is quite adept at navigating her environment despite some vision challenges. She's not a jumper, needing a little boost to climb onto the couch or Doxie Stairs. Jenny's aging signs include a slight heart murmur, requiring monthly medication, but this has not diminished her sweet personality; improvements in her energy are already noticeable since starting treatment. This lovely girl thrives in a shady yard and prefers to be near her people. While she's friendly with other dogs, she is currently more of an observer than an active participant. Jenny would be a perfect companion for a laid-back home, especially for an older couple seeking an easy-going dog. An application and home visit are required for potential adopters. Your new best friend is just one click away.
