About Cotton

Meet Cotton! This delightful Dachshund mix is around 2 years old and weighs about 15 lbs, making her an ideal companion. While her exact breed is an educated guess by the vets, she definitely showcases that classic Dachshund charm. Cotton came from a small shelter in Arkansas after caring for her 7 puppies, who found homes through another rescue. Now, Cotton is ready for her forever home. She is incredibly friendly and gets along well with other dogs. Her foster describes her as sweet and sociable, noting how much Cotton enjoys cuddling and spending quality time together. She thrives on affection and is more than willing to snuggle up in bed at night. Cotton loves adventures, whether that’s a restful walk, a park picnic, or a car ride to a dog-friendly destination. She shows great enthusiasm for life and will appreciate any loving person devoted to spending time with her. Currently, Cotton is up to date on her vaccinations and has been spayed. While she is undergoing heartworm treatment, the rescue will cover the full cost to ensure she becomes heartworm-free. With a commitment to her health, the rescue emphasizes the importance of a quality diet and training for all dogs. They support adopting homes that are open to providing positive reinforcement training, either virtually or in-person. Cotton is available for adoption now, and the rescue encourages interested adopters to submit an application through their site. Don't miss the chance to welcome this sweet pup into your life!
