Adoptable Mix Leary – Low Rider Dachshund Rescue of Florida

Meet Leary: Your New Favorite Oddball!❤️🐾

Looking for a pup that’s equal parts snuggle bug, goofball, and mystery? Meet Leary, a 4-year-old, 20-pound dachshund mix who’s got personality for days—and plenty of love to give to the right family.

Leary’s a one-of-a-kind guy who keeps things interesting. One minute he’s shy and quiet, the next he’s jumping into a stranger’s lap for cuddles like you’ve known each other forever. He’s super affectionate, especially with young kids—though he does get a little rear-happy (he rears up like a horse sometimes!), which could be a bit much for toddlers still finding their balance.

🐶 Dog + Human Vibes:

• Other dogs? It’s a toss-up! Sometimes playful, sometimes shy, and occasionally grumbly. He’d likely do best as a solo pup or with a very chill canine companion who respects his space.

• Cats? We’re not sure yet—he hasn’t been tested.

• People? Loves everyone. Seriously. Will climb into your lap without asking. Major cuddler.

• Kids under 5? Yes! But again, watch out for the rearing—he means well, we promise.

🚶 Walks & Potty Time:

• Leash skills: Eh… he tries. He zigzags, pauses, backtracks, and sometimes just… stops. But he’s improving!

• Potty trained: Yes! He uses a doggy door like a pro. If it’s blocked, though, he may treat your rug as plan B.

• Crate trained: Yes! He may whine a little at first but settles in for the night like a champ.

🚗 Cars, Crates & Cuddles:

• He loves car rides, though he gets the zoomies in the backseat and wants to be with his people.

• At night, he’s a great sleeper and wakes up like clockwork at 7am. (Hope you’re a morning person!)

• No issues with food or toy aggression—just a sweet, if slightly dramatic, soul.

 😅 Quirks & Character:

• Very vocal. Barks at shadows. Barks when he’s anxious. Barks when you leave. (It’s kind of his thing.)

• Anxious tendencies: He paces, whines, and can get overwhelmed. A calm, structured home will help him thrive.

• Intelligent and eager to learn! He picks up tricks quickly and loves mental stimulation. Agility course, anyone?

• Energetic and athletic—he’ll keep you on your toes, then collapse into your lap for a nap.

Vetting and Medical

In our care, Leary has received a Vet Check, 1 or more Vaccines, Dental Exam, Medication (temporary – like for acute infection), Spay or Neuter, Nails Trimmed, Heart Worm testing and medication.

IMPORTANT‼️: Leary is currently heartworm positive and being treated using the slow-kill treatment method where he gets a pill once a month that slowly kills off the heartworms in his body and prevents new ones. Slow-kill heartworm treatment generally takes about 9 months and Leary is already over 2 months into treatment! His adopter will need to continue giving him his monthly medication and then will need to get him re-tested for heartworm after completing his medication.

We depend on donations from caring people, like you, to make a difference in the lives of dogs. As an all volunteer organization, you can rest assured that the donations go directly to help the dogs. Thank you!
