About Goldie Adoption Pending (Dachshund) in Volusia County

Goldie Adoption Pending is waiting for you at Lil Rascals Dog Rescue in United States. Meet Goldie: Your New Low-Rider, Little Spoon, and Loyalty Expert If you are looking for a compact companion who promises to keep your bed warm and your life full of laughs, Goldie is the girl for you. At a solid 25 lbs, this 5 1/2yo possible dachshund/pittie mix is the definition of "travel-sized" perfection.

She loves car rides. Quick Stats & Needs: The Friendship Pipeline: Goldie can be wary of strangers at first. She needs a proper, patient introduction. However, if that stranger is offering a slice of delicious ham, she’ll immediately decide they are her new best friend for life! (And once that initial meeting is over, she’ll stay your best friend even if the ham runs out!) Family Life: If the home has kids, Goldie would do well in a home with older children (10+); she would love a
