Lucy (Senior)'s Story

Lucy is a 13-year-old black-and-tan senior dachshund. She was previously diagnosed with polyarthritis, but wasn't on steroids when she arrived. She has a partially lame front paw, which was likely congenitally deformed. Her mobility is better with the help of prednisone. Lucy is spayed, but has 3 mammary masses that are consistent with cancer. When she gets her dental, we will do X-rays to see if she has any masses internally. This girl gets along well with other small dogs and would love a quiet home where she can sit in a comfy bed and bark at the deliveryman. To be considered for Lucy "Senior" (We have 2 Lucy's at the moment), please apply on our website: https://www.portlanddachshundrescue.org/adoptionform

Portland Dachshund Rescue, Inc.'s Adoption Policy

OUR CRITERIA There's nothing better than a successful match. We like to explain the process of finding the right rescue dog as being similar to online dating: You will want to check our site often to see who is new, read each bio and reach out if you think they might have found someone special. Our adoption team is highly skilled at helping you find a dog with the right personality that will fit your family and lifestyle. Occasionally, we receive multiple promising applications for a dog and ultimately match the dog with the home where we think they will do best. We are committed to helping you find a dog even if you don't "match" on your first attempt. We would love nothing more than to help you find the forever dog of your dreams. Although we like to tailor each match, we do have some basic criteria we look with respect to adoptive homes: *Homes should be non-smoking *Have a securely fenced yard *Ability to commit to yearly dentals and shots for the pet *Willingness to purchase ramps and pet stairs to safeguard the dog's back
