Cat Friendly If you could turn the "strong but silent" type into a dog, it would be Kennedy. She has lived a life with very few people showing her affection. And now she's ready to learn all about how amazing a family can be. She's a 7-year-old, 10-pound Dachshund, and we're certain you're going to fall in love with her sweet face as soon as you make eye contact! Kennedy is smart and already house- and crate-trained, enjoys her treats, and even plays with toys. She tolerates car rides and is learning leash walks, but she's asked for patience as she masters something completely new. It's not like she needs A LOT of exercise anyway since she's a petite little lady! She is also great with other dogs and even fine with kitties. A home with a confident or calm dog would help sweet Kennedy blossom even more, while helping her see that the world isn't always so big and scary. Kennedy currently prefers to sleep in a dog bed, or even sometimes under a human bed. But with time, lots of treats, and understanding, she may even want to snuggle in your bed one day (remember, she LOVES treats). She's a sensitive girl who needs an abundance of love. Because Kennedy is still learning that people can be affectionate and loving, a home without children would be best. In fact, we think she would probably be happiest in a calm setting with minimal hustle and bustle. Kennedy does also need a fenced-in yard. Kennedy's adoption fee is $225 and includes her spay, vaccinations, microchip, and flea/tick/heartworm preventatives. Approved adopters will be contacted to schedule a meet-and-greet.
