Diva is a gorgeous standard girl with a chocolate smooth coat. Diva was part of a breeder group of over 80 Dachshunds seized earlier this summer.  Diva was not an abused dog, she just didn't have a lot of experience being a pet. When we got her, Diva had never been held before, had never attempted house training, and was not sure exactly what being a pet was all about. Diva was underweight- she didn't want to eat much because she had an upper-respiratory infection that made everything taste bad to her. She also had some mild food allergies. Diva had already had a litter of puppies even at her young age. Now, Diva is a completely different dog! Diva eats well (grain-free duck and potato diet so she doesn't have food allergies), has gained weight, has tons of energy, and actively plays with the dogs in her foster home. Diva is a happy girl now. She follows her foster family around, jumps up on the furniture for cuddle time, gives doggie kisses, and likes people! Diva is smart and has picked up the house training business very successfully. She likes toys, running, and most of all, enjoying life. Like any dog from her situation Diva takes patience, understanding, and a lot of love. Then again, everyone does better that way! Diva is a special dog- she was lucky enough to be rescued and worth every minute of time spent watching her grow into a fantastic pet!
