Description:
A SWEET & SHY GIRL: Approx. 7 years old / Approx. 14 lbs. Hi, I’m Leni! I came to Mostly Mutts from a home that had a lot of dogs and Mostly Mutts took me, and quite a few others, into their program. Now I’m ready to find a new home and family of my very own! • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I lived with other dogs previously, and there is another dog in my foster home, but we mostly ignore each other. If you have a dog at home already that isn’t looking for a playmate, let’s meet. / I also live with a kitty at my foster’s, and I ignore her, too. / I am frightened of young children, so only older, calm kids such as 15+, please. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I was very scared when I arrived at the shelter since everything was new to me, but I’m getting used to being loved on and accepting the attention that was missing in my former home. I am learning to trust, making progress and look forward to having my own family! They will need to be patient with me, but I’m looking forward to a loving and calm home. / My energy level is currently 3-5. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I’m learning to be a normal household dog and it’s going great! I’m working on building trust in people and whine happily when my foster mom comes home. / I sleep quietly in a crate in my foster home, but my favorite place is on the couch with a blanket. / I’m doing well with my potty manners so long as I am taken out regularly. If you will be consistent with me on a good schedule, I’m confident that I will master my potty skills. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I enjoy hanging out with my foster, though I am still a bit hand shy. My foster mom and I spend time sitting together and it’s fun to cuddle with her! My favorite time of day is mealtime, and I love treats, so that may help me warm up to my new family. I like walks when the weather isn’t bad (who likes rain?). / I do not care for being physically handled, as it seems that I may not have been touched very softly previously. I wouldn’t want to be rushed into new situations or relationships, so please know that I’ll need extra time to settle in. I also wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get good care and gentle attention in my new home. • MEDICAL: I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I needed a good dental cleaning when I arrived at Mostly Mutts, and I’ve had that now, so my mouth is fresh again. I’m currently taking an inexpensive anxiety medication which I may or may not need to continue once I settle into my new home. Since I'm a dachshund, I naturally have a long spine 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. I am looking for a loving home that will welcome me as a furry family member! My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
