Woof! I’m Carly, and I am a 13 year old, smooth coated black and tan dachshund who needs help losing a few pounds.  I was surrendered from people who loved me, but were unable to continue looking after me due to their family’s circumstance. My foster mom tells me I have an awesome personality, calm behavior and gentle disposition.

Unfortunately my owners loved me very much and thought that overfeeding me with food, treats, and no exercise was showing additional love. I came into rescue weighing 21 lbs and I probably should lose another 8 lbs. I am on something called a diet and I am on my way.  I have already lost 2 lbs. I eat two measured meals a day. Please do not feed me human food!  My foster mom and I can both see the new “pep in my step” and I feel a lot better.  I enjoy walks where I can sniff and explore my surroundings. I like my soft square dog bed with a soft blanket. If you are in the house, I will call out to you with squeaks until I find you or you find me.  I pace around until I find my bed or my human, and then I settle down.  I like to be with my human(s), so I will follow you around the house. I like to sleep in the human bed.  If you are in the human bed, and I am alone downstairs, I will cry. Once you bring me to the human bed, I find a spot, make myself comfortable and will be very quiet.  I cry if I am left alone while you are in the house. Once I am with you, I am happy and quiet.  I love cuddling on the couch. I respond very well to a soft voice and positive reinforcement. When you nap, I will nap with you.  I love getting praise and hearing my name said.  I enjoy sitting with you on the couch, and snoozing while you’re watching TV. I will follow you around the house when you move from room to room.

 

If you are looking for an older dog who enjoys slow walks, needs help losing a few Pounds, enjoys exploring the yard at her own speed, likes to cuddle, is a great companion napper, and who wants to become a member of your family, then I’m your gal.

For additional information please contact my foster mom Shivaun (ShivaunLeonard@gmail.com)

If you see a furbaby that is a match for your family, don’t let distance stand in the way of your adoption. LPDR can work with you to have a volunteer transport to assist with transportation or refer you to a paid transport.
