Daisy8 (Bonded with Rufus4) Dachshund Wheaton, MD

Daisy is a 15-year-old, quiet little girl with soulful eyes, who is bonded with Rufus. Both pups can take time to warmup, but once they know you, they are sweet and loving. Daisy is the more laidback of the two but can be led astray by her brother from time to time! They are hoping for a quiet home with experienced owners, and no young children.

Environment

They are crate trained and house trained too. The pair prefer doing their business and getting exercise in their own back yard, so a fenced yard will be needed. They don't necessarily need someone who works from home since they are fine in their crates.

Pets & People

Daisy prefers the company of Rufus, and the pair would do fine as the only dogs in the home. However, they are accepting of other dogs as long as introductions are done slowly and approached with love and patience. Separation should continue at mealtimes as she isn't shy about taking other dogs' food. With new people it's a similar story-she needs time and patience. Once she accepts you, she just wants to be petted and loved.

Health

Daisy is deaf and has a heart murmur for which she is receiving palliative care. Rufus is important to her as her bonded partner and as her "emotional support animal". The cardiologist recommended a diet free of legumes (currently eats Royal Canin Mature Adult). Luckily, she takes her medicine very easily, but should be sedated for vet care or stressful situations.
