Introducing dachshund Zeus. He is a great dog, well behaved, gets along with all the small dogs in his foster home. Zeus loves to stick with his human. He is crazy about belly rubs and kisses.
Although he is shy at first, as most fosters are, this friendly fella warms up pretty quickly! He is potty trained and walks on a leash with ease.
Zeus is a gentle soul who most likely would be fine with well trained children but we have not witnessed this in his foster environment. We also aren’t sure as to how he would respond to cats but he did well going in and out of the vets office.
Unfortunately, Zeus’s weight was allowed to get out of control. He should not weigh anywhere near what he does and is now on a strict diet. Additional exercise and someone who will help him reach his ideal weight and maintain it is extremely important. Currently, he is in good health.
A crate has not been used with Zeus as he is such a gentleman, it has not been needed. He uses a dog bed during the day and enjoys sleeping with his human at night.
Vetting
In our care he has received Vet Check, 1 or more Vaccines, Dental Exam, blood tests and thyroid test. He is on allergy medicine Apoquel which will need to be given once a day. The medicine is about 45.00 for 60 pills. Also, he needs to maintain a strict weight control diet with food that is for weight control. It can be over the counter but just needs to be weight management.
If you would like to make a donation towards Low Rider’s ongoing vet expenses, it is greatly appreciated.
