Sherlock is a 3-year-old, 16-pound Dachshund mix with a zest for life and a personality that will instantly win you over. Whether he’s chasing his ball, riding shotgun in the car, or curling up for a TV marathon on the couch, this little guy is the perfect blend of playful and snuggly. Sherlock adores people, kids, and other dogs, making him the ideal companion for a loving family or individual.
A Unique Twist to His Story
Sherlock’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. He found himself in a shelter listed as Rescue Only due to a condition called trigeminal neuritis. This causes mild inflammation in the nerve responsible for closing his mouth. While his mouth doesn’t fully close, making him a little messy when drinking water, it’s completely pain-free and doesn’t bother him one bit. In fact, his quirky little quirk just adds to his charm—and he can live a perfectly happy, normal life.
Why Sherlock’s the Perfect Match
- Great with people and pets: He thrives in social settings and loves making new friends.
- Active yet relaxed: Whether it’s a long walk or a cozy cuddle, Sherlock enjoys both.
- Travel buddy: He’s a pro at car rides and would love to accompany you on adventures.
- Healthy and resilient: Trigeminal neuritis often improves over time, but even if it doesn’t, Sherlock’s joy for life remains unaffected.
