Things to know about Livie:

• Needs a home with no shared walls
• Needs a doggie buddy or two for company
• Older respectful children only.

Livie is a very sweet and friendly dachshund with a short reddish-brown coat. She is 10 years old, happy, active, and healthy, and weighs about 15 pounds. Livie would prefer a home where at least one person is home most of the time. She’d also love to have at least one or more doggie buddies to keep her company. Livie is crate trained and house trained so long as she is able to go outside regularly and right after she gets up in the morning.

Livie loves going for walks and is happy to ride along in the car. She is reactive to both people and dogs when she is on her leash. She barks loudly and doesn’t stop barking until they are out of sight. At home though, she gets along very well with the other resident dogs. Livie barks at human strangers when she first meets them. She settles down once she has checked them out and decided that they are kind people. She has not met children or cats while she has been with her foster mom, but she would do best in a home with respectful children. She isn’t very welcoming to squirrels. She loves to bark at them and would likely give chase if she had the opportunity.

When we asked her foster mom what she likes most about Livie, she said that Livie is full of the joys of life.

Livie is currently living in Germantown, MD with her foster mom Nancy. For more information, please contact her at tristan14.L@verizon.net. If you would like to adopt Livie, please complete an adoption application form by clicking on https://www.littlepawsdr.org/adoption/adoption-applications/.

The adoption fee for Livie is $200.00. If the dog is adopted over a state line, there will be an additional charge for a health certificate (required by law) of anywhere between $45.00 and $100.00. The amount depends upon what the veterinarian charges LPDR.

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

Dogs adopted in New England are subject to additional rules and regulations by state departments of agriculture that may include a short stay in quarantine. Complying with these regulations is expensive for our rescue and some dogs going to New England states may be charged an additional $175.00 to cover costs of compliance.
