and neuter your pets:
And please do not give pets as holiday gifts without warning the people that you would like to get them a new pet.
I will not adopt to an owner that I have not met as I want to make sure that the family is my rescued dog's forever home.
So I always have a lot of needy wieners here for the month of December.
Did you know that most rabbits live over 10 years. Did you know that Dachshunds live around 15 years if well
cared for and not allowed to escape good fencing and get run over. I have seen them as old as 21 if cared for properly.
This is a hardy breed of dogs. It is something I think about when placing dogs in new homes too. I want that home
to be that pet's LAST home.
We do not adopt dogs before most major holidays as the new pet is usually not that family's priority during that time.
We want the new family to spend time with their pet and help them adjust to their new life as if they were a new family member
and not a new piece of furniture.
Sincerely,
Margo
