Rosie
Just eight weeks after surgery for IVDD, she’s back on her feet, wagging her tail, and stealing hearts. Rosie is looking for a forever home where she can be the center of attention, and in return, she’ll shower you with love, snuggles, and laughs.

She’s silly, stubborn, and incredibly sweet. Rosie loves to follow her people around, cuddle on the couch, and hog the bed. She may take a little time to warm up, but once she does, she’s loyal and affectionate.

Rosie needs a calm, adult-only home with someone who understands dachshunds and IVDD care. She does best with a patient person who works from home and doesn’t have other pets — Rosie likes to be the one and only.

She’s great with ramps, enjoys sunbathing, and is friendly with people she meets on walks (though she might have a happy tinkle or two!). Rosie eats fast, so she needs a slow feeder, and potty training is still in progress — but she’s getting there with help from her foster.

Sprout
Sprout is everything you love (and expect!) from a classic doxie in one tiny, hilarious, blanket-burrowing package. He’s snuggly, stubborn, and absolutely full of sass. Whether he’s barking at squirrels, demanding your attention, or wrestling with his doggie friends, this little guy lives life with gusto.

Sprout is recovering from a ruptured disc — a common dachshund issue — but he’s doing great! He walks, runs, and plays like a champ, though he’ll need a ramp instead of stairs and just a bit of extra help during potty breaks (his foster will show you the ropes). He’s about to start physical therapy to build his strength — Pilates, anyone?

At 9 pounds, Sprout is all heart and a little bit of mischief. He’s loyal to his people, loves other dogs, and has a big personality packed into a small body. If you’re ready for endless cuddles, comedy, and a dash of dachshund drama, Sprout just might be your perfect match.

What is IVDD in Dachshunds?
Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) is a common spinal condition in dachshunds caused by their long backs and short legs. It occurs when the discs between the vertebrae degenerate or rupture, leading to pain, nerve damage, or even paralysis. Symptoms can range from stiffness and reluctance to move to sudden loss of mobility. With proper care — including surgery, rest, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments like ramps and limited jumping — many dogs with IVDD can recover and live happy, active lives!
