We immediately took her to our specialty vet clinic where they determined that she was not a candidate for surgery. She did receive physical therapy and acupuncture and learned to spine walk. Spinal walking occurs when a paralyzed dog with no pain sensation or feeling in their legs learns to walk and stand through reflex. Luna does great with spine walking. She will never walk normally, but she now can even go up and down ramps like a pro. She is a very determined little lady, and she deserves a home where they appreciate her willingness to keep working to strengthen her legs.<br/><br/>Every morning, Luna is so happy when she wakes up in her soft crate. She immediately flips over for belly rubs. Once outside, she does a happy dance when I call her “pretty girl.” She loves being called “pretty girl” and puts her head up high and runs around excitedly. Morning is her hyper time when she plays with her toys and wrestles with her brother. In quieter moments Luna loves to cuddle with her foster sisters. A couple of her favorite things are sunbathing and playing with her rubber squeaky toys. Please checkout Luna’s videos. She’s a happy little girl and deserves a forever home where she will be loved and valued as the beautiful, special pup that she is.<br/><br/>Our must-haves for precious Luna include:<br/>• A fenced yard to get out and continue to strengthen her back legs, and when outside, she is FAST<br/>• Someone who is home more often than not<br/>• Someone with IVDD experience<br/>• Another small young dog for her to hang with<br/>• No apartments, high-rises, or condos<br/><br/>Because of her back issue, her adopter will need to have experience with a “downed” dog and know how to express her bladder. If you do not have this experience, please do not apply. If you have the experience and would like more information before applying for her, you can email her foster mom at aadrpresident@gmail.com, and she’ll be happy to answer any questions you have.<br/><br/> ============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ==============<br/><br/>AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund’s back or get bitten.<br/><br/>If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed on the bio form. They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. <br/><br/>There will be an additional $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state in which they are being fostered. <br/><br/>We will not adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have any issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures.<br/><br/>To understand the adoption process through AADR, please review the Adoption Information on our home page. Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.<br/><br/>Click this link to apply: https://www.allamericandachshundrescue.org/apply, it will take you to the application form.<br/><br/>Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers who will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast or Midwest. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. Please look for dogs on your coast.
