Kars - Staying With Owner


Name: Kars
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Dachshund/Rat Terrier Mix
Age: 15 months
Location: Austin, TX

 
Vet/Medical Info: Kars received all his vaccinations including rabies on 10/23/10. He is due next 10/23/11. He was too young to be tested for heartworm but the owner purchased the preventative meds, neutered 1/6/2011.
Owner Info: Kars's owner found him when he was a puppy, she has become ill and can no longer care for him and her daughter is looking after Kars temporarily, but is unable to keep him because he chases her cats. Kars can be possessive with toys and food. He's nervous with large groups of people, but does well with people he knows. It is unknown if Kars is completely blind, the vet's assessment is that he was born blind but it seems that he is able to see some. Kars is in good health and other than his visual impairment, he doesn't have other special needs. Her family has considered every other option to keep Kars. They thought their mother would recover, but she has long term health problems. He would not like being an outdoor dog, he is very anxious when left outside in backyard.
