    This little lady came to Animal Advocates from rural Georgia.  She was used for breeding and has had several litters of puppies with her husband, Heathcliff.  Yes, I said husband.  So before we go any further.  Gertrude is part of a bonded pair and they MUST be adopted together.  And, there will be no more puppies for this young couple.   Gigi is just a happy little girl.  She loves to play with Heathcliff all day and they are basically inseparable mighty lizard hunters. They also like toys, but they destroy them quickly.  
 
         Gigi and Heathcliff have lived outside their whole lives.  So it is taking them some time to get use to be inside, and they 
         are in the process of being house trained.  Both of them have made excellent progress with very few accidents in the
         house.  Gigi and Heathcliff are crate trained, and have no issues being left alone.  They are very timid and shy.  But once 
         they take a break from lizard chasing they will cuddle and give kisses.  They will just need some time to get use to being 
         with humans.  They are dog and cat friendly.  They like men, women and children.  They do not have an aggressive bone
         in their little bodies and for dachshunds they are as quite as a mouse. That's because they tend to ignore all people and 
         chase lizards.  Gigi has never been on a leash and leash training has been a slow process.  But, in reality, Gigi and Heathcliff 
         really just want a nice fenced yard to hunt lizards. They will chase lizards for hours and could care less about going for a walk.
         Now, Gigi and Heathcliff are runners and if they get lose that will take off very quickly.  But, they are the most entertaining
         little pair of dogs.  They tend to entertain themselves and you almost forget they are in the house.
 
         So, if you think you can give these two little energetic mini dachshunds a forever home together ......please submit an 
         adoption application. 


Both bonded dachshunds are heartworm positive (not shocked since they lived outside for a while). They have gotten the proheart 12 injectio (heartworm prevention for 1 year) and are started doxycycline for 30 days to complete there slow kill treatmen.
