1.22.10 Smiley Miley is the cutest, sweetest little mini chocolate short haired girl ever! She came to us from the Houston animal cruelty siezure as well, and I was thrilled that she's a rare "smiling" dachshund! Very few smilers come through rescue and we all just love it when they smile at us! that's not a snarl, not a growl, she does that when she's happy!! Pretty Miley is only about 2 or 3 years of age, and guess what... yeah... darn it she's pregnant and wayyy too far along for us to spay her, as she is due in 7 to 14 days! yikes! when taken into the shelter from the siezure, she only weighed 5 pounds, so she's a tiny little girl. She will be fully vetted prior to placement, which means after her pups are weaned and she's healthy. No heartworms and she's got shots, treated for parasites and will be microchipped as well as spayed before she gets adopted. Will update her bio when she graces us with the presence of her youngsters. 3.25.10 Update Smiley Miley had her babies!!! I don't know about her, but I'm exhausted! LOL!! three boys and a girl all very colorful. One is having to be bottle fed every two hours (hence the exhausted foster mom!). Precious little Miley will be busy with her kids for at least another 8 weeks, then we'll get her spayed and she can meet you! Will post updates about her puppies, but please know that we cannot and will not adopt out puppies until they are spayed/neutered and had all three sets of puppy shots. We will however, allow a potential adoptive home to foster the pup after it's had all its shots, until it's old enough to be sterilized, then we'd formally adopt and transfer ownership. We call that "puppy provisions 5.12.10 update on smiley miley - Miley will be ready to try out a new home after the 17th!!! Her boys will have their full set of puppy shots in another 3 weeks and we'll get them posted on the website shortly thereafter! Texas adoptions only. Please visit our website www.ddrtx.org soon and complete an adoption application.
