Description:

Join the Chiweenie Clubini! Bogie is about the cutest, sweetest little pudding pot you've ever laid eyes on. Bogie is the whole package of an adorable little long haired solid black (except for a little white on his chest) chihuahua. He's 14 lbs of puppy energy and around 1 year 3 months old. And two words for you...potty trained.HALLELUJAH - amirite?This little nug-nug was [just barely] captured running down the interstate with no collar and no real hope. A good samaritan saw Bogie hobbling down an interstate and pulled over to see about him. He was very frail, hungry, afraid and determined not to be caught. The good samaritan called her husband to come help catch Bogie which was not an easy task, but they got it done. He was taken to a vet and after x-rays confirmed he had a fractured leg which had happened several weeks prior, and that the bone had already started healing and was lined up perfectly. Crate rest and confinement was a must so the bone could finish healing and stay lined up through the process. No one really knows for sure, but we believe Bogie was probably hit by a car. The sweet lady that saved him could not keep him long term so he ended up at DREAM. His tail shows his true colors, wagging almost constantly as everyone who meets him tells him what a good boy he is. He's enjoying lots of good food and putting some weight on, and is a great little companion with his people and can hang with other small dogs in the house. In November Bogie’s foster mom noticed he started limping and walking on 3 legs. The fractured leg that was healing nicely was the weight bearing leg. It was his hip on the other leg giving him trouble. After more extensive x-rays we learned he needed a total hip replacement. After the growth plates closed he got a brand new hip on January 9th. He had his 6 week post-op check up and is doing fantastic. He’s loving his new hip and raring to go, go, go! He feels so much better and just wants to play. He still has 6 more weeks of crate rest left (12 weeks total for everything to completely heal) a quick x-ray and then he can finally be the normal little happy playful boy he deserves to be. One thing he’s ready for now, is a forever home! If you're interested in sweet baby Bogie, don't wait to fill out an application. If you are interested in adopting Bogie, you can fill out an application right on our website! Go to our online adoption application. Bogie's adoption fee is $450. All adoption fees go directly to veterinary care for DREAM dachshunds. Bogie will go to his new home microchipped, neutered, heartworm tested, up to date on vaccinations, and with all other medical needs addressed. Almost every dog's veterinary expenses exceed our adoption fees; we are a non-profit. DREAM is an all-volunteer rescue group. We focus on the metro Atlanta area and can assist throughout the state of Georgia. Since our rescue is entirely run and staffed by volunteers, our ability to travel long distances for adoptions is somewhat limited. We focus on Georgia, but if you are in a neighboring state, we might be able to work something out - we'll expect you to do your part. DREAM does not recommend purebred dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a doxie's back.
