Sofia - Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Kennesaw, Georgia

A SWEET & LOVING LADY: Approx. 10 years old / Approx. 13 lbs.

Hi, I'm Sofia! I came to Mostly Mutts when I found myself in need of a good home! Thankfully, they took me in, and I am soaking up all the love and attention from the volunteers here and I heard them say that I'm now ready to find a family of my very own. I think that is the best news ever! Plan to come meet me soon and see if I am your new furry family member!

OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I met another dog while out on a day trip to a volunteer's home for a few hours and we coexisted together well, so if you have a dog that sounds like this, let's meet! / I also met a kitty while on that day trip and I simply ignored it. All cats are different, so I'm not sure how I would do with another kitty. / I met gentle 5- and 8-year-olds at the shelter and really liked them, so if you have gentle kids like this, let's meet and best no toddlers that may fall on me.

PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I'm a friendly, sweet, and happy girl with a wonderful personality and a tail that never seems to stop wagging! I'm very affectionate and had everyone smiling when I emerged from a blanket for a little "doggy unraveling." I happily trotted into the Paw Spa, did great for my bath, and showed everyone just how calm and cooperative I can be. I may let out a little bark when I'd like some attention - as if to say, "hey, don't forget about me!" I ride well in the car, so you can take me with you and if you're looking for a cheerful, loving companion with a delightful spirit, I just might be your girl! / Energy level: 3-5.

SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I'm in the Mostly Mutts University training program and have already mastered the come command and I look forward to learning even more. Let's continue my training together with the free lifetime training classes that Mostly Mutts offers for all their adopted dogs. / I'm doing well in my little room at the shelter. / My potty manners have been good on the shelter schedule with only a few accidents.

LIKES/DISLIKES: I love belly rubs, lap time, and curling up in a cozy blanket - or even better, snuggled underneath one! I also like going out and enjoying life, whether that means sniffing around in the yard, exploring with you or simply rolling around in the grass. Sharing those happy moments with my family will make life even sweeter. / I can't think of any dislikes, though like all dogs, I'm sure I wouldn't like it if I didn't get enough love, attention, and training.

MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I'm blind in my right eye, but see well out of my left eye. I have moderate tartar on my teeth, so my adoptive family should consult with their vet and consider a dental cleaning in the future. I'm on an inexpensive over-the-counter Cosequin joint supplement which is good for all senior dogs. Since I'm a Dachshund, I naturally have a long back which is subject to injury, so please don't allow me to jump on and off furniture so we can keep me safe and healthy.

If you're looking for a wonderful doggie friend to share your home with and love furever, I could be the one! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I'm located in Kennesaw, Ga.
