miriam

Miriam's Christmas wish came just a few days before Christmas when she entered the doors of a shelter. Surrendered by her homeless owner who could not provide the medical care she desperately needed and rescue was called to come to her rescue! This older black and tan gal was full of mammary tumors, in need of a spay (to stop the growth of said mammary tumors) and a significant dental. It has taken us some time to get her medical completed as she had to have a double mastectomy to remove all of the tumors - so that has required 2 major surgeries. Thankfully all tumors came back benign - the beginning of Miriam finding her new "leash" on life! But Miriam, in true dachshund fashion, has handled all of her medical care in stride!

Miriam loves to be with her humans and enjoys lots of belly rubs and cuddles. She is good with small dogs, housebroken, good on a leash. She loves going outdoors for a short walk and to bark at birds, leaves and snowflakes. She prefers to sleep in the big bed with her humans and is a gold medal Olympic Champion at burrowing under the covers. Miriam is very food motivated. She is not tested with cats but can be upon request. No apartments or condos because Miriam does tend to like to hear herself "talk". She definitely will let you know if she feels her meal is late or if she deserves more treats. Not tested with children but would probably do fine with them.

We are pleased to announce that Miriam’s veterinary coverage is partially by Vintage Fur Senior Dogs Inc! Miriam will receive $600 every year in veterinary coverage for the rest of her life. This money may be used to treat conditions and treatments including prescription medication, bloodwork, imaging and more.
