Carlos in Texarkana TX Miniature Pinscher & Miniature Dachshund Mix Texarkana, TX

Carlos is a male black with tan dachshund mix (possibly min pin or chihuahua). He is 11 years old and he weighs 13 pounds. Carlos is neutered and fully vaccinated including rabies. Carlos is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventive, but several years ago he first came to rescue heartworm positive and was treated. He now has a grade 4 heart murmur and takes CHF meds (benazapril and furosemide ~$20/month) and does very well. Also years ago when he first came to rescue, Carlos was paraplegic with lower back problems but he recovered with steroids and rest. His back end is a little wobbly so he would do best in a home set up for dachshunds and with no wild younger dogs (old friends are great). Carlos is ready for adoption.

Carlos is a handsome, affectionate boy. He is a little shy at first but he knows who wants to love him and warms up pretty quickly. Carlos likes other dogs. He gets excited about outside time and food. Carlos is an older fella so he needs frequent potty trips outside. Carlos likes couch or nap time with his person. He walks on a leash and is fine in a kennel when you’re not home. Carlos really wants to be someone’s buddy.
