Vida Boheme - Dachshund and Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Millcreek, Utah

Meet Vida Boheme! Just like her namesake, this queen brings beauty, charm, warmth, and pure love everywhere she goes. Vida is a nearly 16-year-old, 20-lb Dachshund mix with a gentle spirit, a snowy white face, and a devotion to her people that would make Miss Vida herself proud.

This Vida's ideal day includes naps, snacks, couch cuddles, and following her humans from room to room like the loyal little shadow she is. She's fully house trained, walks politely on leash, and has low energy, grooming, and exercise needs. She doesn't love the crate, but she'll settle if she must--though she'd much rather be tucked in beside you for bedtime snuggles.

She gets along ok with dogs and cats, but she has a little bit of resource guarding tendencies and may lunge, snap and bark at another dog when they get too close to her treats or her space if she isn't feeling cuddly. Because she whines or barks for a bit when left alone or separated, she'll do best in a home without shared walls. What she wants most is what her namesake taught us all to give: love, kindness, and a place where she can simply belong.

Vida is is in the low level range of Cushing's Disease. She has started medication for it and her adopter will need to monitor symptoms and stay on top of vet care. Her medication costs about $45-55 monthly. She also has a sensitive digestive system and needs to be on specialty food, and needs to go to the bathroom fairly often.

Vida's most special trait is the way she looks at her people--with the same softness, loyalty, and heart that made Vida Boheme unforgettable on screen. She's a tender, affectionate soul who just wants to love and be loved. She also loves giving kisses 💋

If you're ready to welcome a gentle, devoted senior queen into your home, Vida Boheme is waiting to grace your life with sweetness and style. 💖
