More about Candy

Candy is a 3yo female who would love to add some cute quirkiness to your household. This 12ish pound dachshund mix is named for the Dolly Parton song "Hard Candy Christmas." Like Dolly, she's from the Smokies, and like in the song, she's had a rough start to life, but her future is full of possibilities. She loves cheese, celery, and playing with a stuffed pig.She doesn't mind the presence of humans and might even welcome you home with sniffs but petting is overwhelming to her. She enjoys cuddling with doggo friends but not sharing food with them. She also does not tolerate leashing/harnessing. Treat her like a piece of fine art: she needs her own safe space and to be admired but not touched. Because of this, she may not be a good fit for families with young children or those in an apartment.Candy will take a while to warm up in her new fur-ever home, but will reward patient humans willing to give her space with pint-sized zoomies and adorable antics. Maybe even a lick or two, but always on her terms!Candy is up to date on vaccines, spayed, microchipped, dewormed, started on monthly flea and heartworm prevention and her adoption fee is $250.
