Hi there! This is my first time on the forum, and I posted to introduce myself earlier but wanted to post on here specifically since it is a puppy that is coming home.
Next week (hopefully) we will be bringing home a new baby boy! They have named him Jasper, and his mother and littermates are rescues. He and about 70 other dogs/puppies were rescued from deplorable conditions at an awful puppy mill. I don't have 100% of the details on him since the rescue is so overwhelmed with getting care for the sick and injured as well as vetting them- apparently pretty much all of them were in bad shape. I have seen a few pictures..heartbreaking beyond words.
Anyhow, I know he is a Dachshund, not sure if he is a mini. (My avatar is one of the pics I received of him) I only say that because the pic of his mom looked like one but that could have been the angle of the picture. I have never owned a Dachshund, but I have spent many hours over the past few weeks reading *everything* I can find (all while being fully aware that reading won't fully prepare me for him!
I drive a school bus, so my time away from home is very little, and we are headed up on spring break so that is perfect! A whole week with the new furbaby!!
If anyone can guide me to information that they think I might find helpful, I would love it! Other than that, I just HAD to share my excitement!!
Thanks for reading!
