Dachshunds Need Loving Home(s):
Abbey (red) & Precious (black) are sweet,
8-year-old, spayed females whose human
became too elderly to care for them. Healthy,
current on shots, playful, house- and doggie-
door and leash-trained, they love car rides!
Ideally they would stay together but could be split up. Neither is fond of cats. Abbey
is shy and tender-hearted, good with other dogs and kids; Precious can be more
alpha-dog around other pooches and does not prefer young children. Modest re-
homing fee requested. Please call 541-549-4834.
