Bringing a new dog as a family pet is quite easy. There are quite a few avenues to take. Open up any newspaper in the classifieds and you’ll see breeders selling puppies. Or if you’re computer savvy, you’ll be able to find some online ads. Then again, you can do it the old fashion way and visit your local pet store. However, perhaps the best way to acquire a new pet dog is to go to a local animal shelter.

It is an unfortunate fact that because of human carelessness, cruelty and abuse, a lot of unwanted and homeless dogs wind up in animal shelters. Unless the shelter is a “no kill” facility, a lot of dogs will lose out to the numbers game and be put to sleep. By adopting a shelter dog, you might be saving a dog’s life and get a grateful new companion in return. There are other benefits to adopting a dog from an animal shelter.

1. Shelters evaluate the adoption to ensure human-dog compatibility

2. Shelter’s provide a history of the dog and its temperament

3. Shelter dogs are up to date on their shots

4. By adopting a dog, it frees up resources and space to save another life

The last thing a shelter wants is to have a dog “returned” so the staff does its utmost in ensuring a good adoption. This is the reason why history, temperament and health evaluation are taken into account as well as dog-human compatibility. These services might not be provided at the local pet store or when a neighbor has a litter of new puppies for free.

There is also a misconception that there’s something wrong with shelter dogs – that there’s a behavioral issue or an obedience issue. This is why that when a former owner drops off a dog, the shelter collects as much information as possible: what the home life was like, whether it has been socialized with other dogs and children, whether it has been housebroken, whether it has had any obedience training and other important details. While it is true that the former owner would want to put himself in a good light as to why he is giving up the dog, for the most part, the information serves as a good point of reference. Gathering this information, the shelter does its best to find the right family for the dog.

Animal shelters are an important service for any community. Usually, the staff does its job on a shoestring budget with little to no public funding or support. It’s due to the tireless staff, volunteers and private donations that keep these shelters afloat. That is why when you adopt a new dog, consider adopting from an animal shelter. It’s the right thing to do for all involved.

Why does my pet dog only wants to have male dogs around?

I noticed my pet dog snoppy only plays with male dogs only, he actually runs the female dogs, I mean he chases them away, and humps his male companions, does this means he is gay? Are there gay animals, please put my mind at ease here.
Anyone out there ever had this experience with any pet. Thanks.

when male dogs do that, they are merely showing dominance

nothing to do with being gay

The Dachshund is good with older children as long as she has been socialized with them. She may not do well with cats and other pets as she was originally bred to hunt. She likes to be indoors and does not like harsh climates. She needs to be exercised regularly to avoid gaining weight as this can be hard on her back. She is a popular dog and it is generally believed that the long hair variety may be better with children. As a reminder, never leave a young child unsupervised with a puppy or dog.

*Approximate Adult Size. There are actually three sizes of the Dachshund, the normal, miniature and toy. The approximate adult size (two years old or older) of the normal Dachshund is 14 to 18 inches to the withers (highest point of the shoulder) and about 20 pounds. The miniature Dachshund runs about 14 inches to the withers and 9 pounds. The toy Dachshund runs about 12 inches to the withers and 8 pounds in weight.

*Special Health Considerations. Most dog breeds have certain inherited health problems associated with that specific breed and the Dachshund is no exception. Be on the look out for skin problems, genetic eye diseases, heart disease, Dachshund paralysis (spinal disc problems), diabetes and urinary tract problems. Also, as a precaution, their body length precludes them from jumping from heights to protect their back as does letting them become overweight. This disease list is an informative guideline only. Other diseases may also be significant threats, please contact your veterinarian for a complete list.

She should visit the veterinarian several times in the first year for shots, boosters and check up. Then, as an adult, she should visit the veterinarian yearly for shots and check up. As she gets older, six years and on, she should visit the veterinarian twice a year for check ups and shots. Remember; avoid feeding your dog sweets.

*Grooming. The Dachshund has two coat varieties, smooth and rough. The smooth variety has a short coat that is shiny and not too long. The rough coat or long hair variety has a glistening, sleek, slightly waving hair. The long haired version needs grooming almost daily but the short haired needs grooming about weekly. Brushing will help her maintain a clean and healthy coat and help you keep a closer eye on her health and strengthen your emotional bond with her.

Her teeth should be brushed at least twice a week with toothpaste and toothbrush designed for dogs. Brushing removes the accumulation of plaque and tartar which can cause cavities (rarely) and periodontal disease. Dog periodontal disease can lead to pain, loss of teeth, bad breath and other serious disease.

Her toenails may need to be examined for growth and clipped regularly. The toenails of the rear feet grow slower than the toenails of the front feet. Generally a guillotine type trimmer is the best for this chore and competent instructions to accomplish this can be found on the net.

*Life Span. The Dachshund can live between 12 and 14 years with proper nutrition, medical care and excellent living conditions.

*History. The Dachshund comes from Germany. Their history goes back to the 16 century. They were bred from hunting dogs to hunt rabbits and badgers, and other small animals. They were first registered by the American Kennel Association in 1885. Dachs is German for Badger.
