Winston (Juvenille Diabetes)

Winston is an 8 month old juvenille diabetic dachshund puppy who weighs 9 pounds. We have had him since he was around 10 weeks old, and he is receiving excellent care. We will consider any state in the US and Canada. He will be an expensive dog over his lifetime, so his forever home should have experience with diabetes, and know that he won't be eligible for pet insurance.<br/><br/>He will need insulin every 12 hours for life, so only those willing and able to provide this medicine to him will be considered. In addition, we will require his adoptive home have an internist, and be willing to put a glucose monitor on him at least 4 times a year, to ensure he is still getting the right quantity of insulin. He will also need a specialist ophthalmologist visit once a year, to keep him on eye drops to control his eye pressure. He does have a good portion of his vision, and his cataracts are actually breaking down as his diabetes becomes controlled.<br/><br/>He will be neutered when he is ten months old, and then be ready for adoption in March of 2026. <br/><br/>He is a typical happy, silly puppy who loves playing with other dogs and adores his humans! We are working on potty training as we started with pads when he arrived and now he is getting used to outside, also.<br/><br/>To be considered for Winston, please apply on our website:<br/><br/><br/>portlanddachshundrescue.org/adoptionform
