Aurora is a beautiful young lady who was born a double-dapple with some associated genetic problems. Her eyes never formed so she is completely blind, and her ears don't function so she is also deaf. She currently does well at her foster home in a safe environment where she can't get into harm, and with the help of a slightly older Dachshund who is her companion. She is fully vetted- had all three sets of puppy shots, is on heartworm prevention, microchipped, and has lost her baby teeth with some nice looking adult teeth coming in. Aurora is not timid, which is a mixed blessing- she's never had a negative experience due to her protected environment so she has not developed fear of other dogs, dangerous falls, or things that could harm her given her lack of sight and sound. She is a happy baby because she's allowed to play and gets a lot of sensory input through touch and smell, as well as a lot of human contact. She is at most of our meet and greets where she enjoys meeting people and does fine with the other Dachshunds. Basically, she needs a safe home with someone there a lot to spend time with her. A companion dog is a must, as is an experienced owner who has time for her. We will be very picky about the environment as far as safe but also allowing her room to play and enjoy herself. Experience with special needs pups is a big plus!  Aurora- she lights up the lives of her foster family and will truly continue to be a beacon of warmth at the perfect forever home!
