5.14.10 Zoey is a sweet little longhaired, chocolate girl weighing in at about 9 pounds. She was an owner surrender from a neglectful situation in the Ft. Worth area. Left outside to live through the heat and cold for two years, with no protection against mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, and the like, her owners decided to give her away for free because they were moving. They listed her on a local website where someone saw her and thankfully sent the information to Diamond Dachshund! Within two days, Zoey was rescued by some wonderful friends of Diamond Dachshund who transported her to San Antonio. When she arrived into the arms of her foster mom on Good Friday, she was sadly covered in so many ticks that some of her gorgeous hair had to be cut just to get to them! Now that she's all cleaned up, on excellent nutrition and supplements, and receiving regular brushings, Zoey's her hair is growing in quite nicely. She is also coming out of her shell. At 2 years old she loves to cuddle on the couch and sleep in the big bed, but she is also ready for the occasional wrestling match with her foster siblings. She follows her foster mom everywhere and can be very protective, partly because Zoey is mostly deaf and startles easily. But that doesn't slow her down. She watches the other dogs and is very in tune with her other senses. She does have an aversion to being crated and being left behind a baby gate, but Zoey is doing so well with her potty training, that she doesn't need to be crated or confined. Zoey is an absolute love bug and would be a great addition to a family who would understand her special needs. Zoey would also prefer a home with another dog or dogs so she can get in some play time! texas adoptions only. Please visit our website www.ddrtx.org and complete an adoption application soon
