Wendell is a very sweet, active, and fun young Dachshund mix with short legs and an irresistibly lovable personality. He is a good boy who enjoys life despite his medical challenges.

Ideal Home

Wendell seems good with other dogs and is interested in cats. He may make a wonderful family companion. Because of fecal incontinence related to an old injury, he would do best with access to a doggie door and yard while his family is home so he can get outside promptly.

Ongoing Health

Wendell completed heartworm treatment in October 2026. He has an old hindquarters injury, likely from being hit by a car and not treated, along with a related neurological issue affecting his sciatica and causing his hindquarters to shift sometimes. He has fecal incontinence that is unlikely to improve and will require FHO surgery after completing heartworm treatment, likely in early 2027.

Training & Support

• Crate trained and does very well in a crate.
• Active and able to enjoy himself despite his injury-related challenges.
• Bonaparte's Retreat will continue covering the cost of his FHO surgery if he is adopted before the procedure.
• His surgical recovery is expected to be manageable.
