Meet wendell

Wendell is a young VERY SWEET daschund mix so has short little legs. He is mixed with who knows how many other breeds but he is cute as heck!  Wendell has come to us Heartworm positive and has entered the treatment phase of that process. He also does have an old injury to his hindquarters that will require an FHO surgery once he is through the HW treatment so probably early Winter of 2026. He also has a neurological issue from that injury (the vet and surgeon agree that he was probably hit by a car and not treated) that does effect his sciatica and causes his little butt to shift out from underneath him sometimes. But please know that NONE of this stops this little guy!!! He is an active, fun little dude who seems good with other dogs and interested in cats. He would probably make a great family pet and is suuuuch a good boy! He is also crate trained and does great in one! The one thing it is important to note for Wendell is that he does have some fecal incontinence which is probably a direct result of his injury and will most likely not improve which is sad because he is only three. BUT. We have learned that if Wendell has a doggie door he can use to access a yard (while you are home of course) then he does seem to have enough notice and time to get out to the yard to potty. This would probably not make him appropriate for an apartment setting though since it would be challenging for them to have a doggie door and a yard. If that were the case, we think he could be in an apartment. Also know that Bonaparte's would be happy to continue the cost of treating his HW and also the surgery when we got to that point.September 3, 2026, 12:07 pm
