Can You Adopt a Cat on a Tight Budget?

Freckles is an easygoing, five-year-old Dachshund who excels as an expert napper, professional toy destroyer, and devoted lap occupant. He thrives in a home with other dogs, kids of all ages, and adults, offering both goofiness and good sense. House-trained and crate-trained, Freckles enjoys leashed walks but has a strict no-wet-grass policy. He has a mild skin irritation needing follow-up, but otherwise brings great health and endless affection to his forever family.
