Biography
Hello everyone! My name is Uno! I am a red longhair dachshund. I was surrendered to DRNA with my friend, Lilly #10860, after our elderly owner could not take care of us any longer. We were sad to leave because she was the only home we had ever known. But she never took us to the vet so DRNA gave us the chance to have some much needed medical care.

I had a large tumor removed from my belly - it wasn't cancer! It was just a big fatty tumor. I also had a tumor and toe taken off of one of my feet, but that doesn't stop me now! I lost several teeth in a dental cleaning and also developed some small holes in my gum that lead up to my sinus cavity (called fistula). The holes don't really bother me, but they do need to be cleaned to make sure that food doesn't get caught up there. I can only eat hard dog food so that my fistulae will stay clean!

I was also recently diagnosed with Cushings disease. I was having trouble losing weight and needed to potty all the time so the vet gave me a test - he said I have a disease that rewuires medicine every month. I need this medicine to feel good. My foster mom can tell you all about it - don't let it scare you from opening your heart and home to me.

I really love my foster mom. She gives me so much attention! I sleep with her at night and stay in the x-pen in the kitchen while she is at work. I know how to use the potty outside - I hear that is called "housebroken". I am fine around children, but have not ever been around cats. I am also good with other dogs.

I'd really like to have someone at home with me all the time - or at least home some of the daytime hours. I can't live in an apartment because I bark when my mom leaves. I just love her so much!

My foster mom says I should be fed away from other dogs because I sometimes growl if another dog comes near my food. And I have to be given rawhides or treats away from other dogs because I get afraid that my treat will get stolen and let them see my teeth.

I have so much love to give - won't you give me a chance? If you have questions about me please ask my foster mom. She would love to tell you all about me! And I would love to be a part of your family!

Love you guys!
Mr Uno
