Dachshund (short coat) : : Female (spayed) : : Adult : : Small
Myrtle is a very sweet double dapple dachshund who is loving the comforts of her foster home. Myrtle has a condition called microphthalmia which is common in double dapple dachshunds. Her left eye is the worst - she has no vision in it at all and it is severely underdeveloped. Her right eye is affected but she is able to see out of it. Myrtle saw a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist and because her left eye is sunken in so badly it would make Myrtle most comfortable to have the eye removed. Myrtle will be having surgery in the next few weeks, once she has recovered, she will be ready to find her perfect forever family. Myrtle is in need of sponsors to help cover her specialty care. Can you be one of Myrtle's sponsors? More about MyrtleGood with Dogs, Good with Cats, Good with Kids, Likes to play with toys, Affectionate *All SFCR dogs are current on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella, and lepto), spayed/neutered (if at least 6 months of age), tested for heartworm & tick-borne disease, receive dentals if needed, are started on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks, and microchipped. Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they may need extra time to adjust and settle in. Older children are often a great fit for our dogs, and family's with younger children will be considered based on each dog's individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may require a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly.
