Tadpole would love to swim her way into a new home!



Meet Tadpole, a three year old female dachshund mix. She got her name because "she was no bigger than a tadpole" and it stuck! She and her sister, Missy were abandoned by her mother and had to be bottled-raised. Tadpole is a nice size, weighing 20 pounds and she has a smooth solid dark brown, almost black, coat. She has the long body, short legs and flap ears like a doxie. We took on Tadpole due to the rescuers having to move because of foreclosure and can't take her with them. Tadpole can be shy and anxious upon first meeting but will warm up to you. Then she likes to be cuddled once she knows you!



Tadpole gets along well with other dogs and cats. She has not really been around children so we don't know if good or not. Tadpole is crate trained and is used to sleeping inside her crate at night but she loves to run and play outside so a fenced in yard will be required if left outside any. She is used to having a big yard to run in so she may not do well in an apartment. Tadpole is up to date on her vet care, spayed and is heartworm negative. She is on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Poor Tadpole is a bit shell shocked and does not understand why she is not in her old home so she will need some extra TLC to help her with the transition.
