These
doxies are being fostered in the
These three dachshunds were surrendered to
rescue due to domestic violence. Our
hearts go out to their former owner.
Alexia is the
one who is curious, confident, quickest to be friendly with people and most
energetic. She likes to talk to you
when it is clear she is going for a walk. Throw
a rock into shallow pool of water and she will chase it and hunt for it.
Button is a
mellow girl, reserved, and happy to sleep in her favorite spot. She
needs a little less food and a little more exercise, and LOVES to play with a
ball. She is a lap-cuddle dog, but
only after she gets to know you. Button
is very adaptable, is comfortable with the minimal amount of walks, and would
make a good apartment dog. She only
barks when she wants to be picked up.
Cujo loves long
walks and running on the beach, playing with his sister Alexia, and getting
snuggle time. He relies more on his sister, Alexia, and tends to follow her and
wants to be near her. Once he knows
you, Cujo is the one who is quickest to claim your lap, and will follow you
around the house. He will bark, but
does stop when you say "no bark". He
is a bit cautious in new situations, but adjusts quickly once he feels safe.
All three dogs
have wonderful house manners, walk well on a leash, are crate trained, travel
easily, and are able to use a doggy door. They
love sleeping together in a puppy pile, and are used to being crated together. These
dogs have been in lots of different living situations, including living on 20
acres of property, traveling on business with their owner, and staying in
hotels. All know the commands Come,
Kennel, Get Down, Jump Up. These
three would not be good with young children, but they are okay with older
children. They are great with men
and women both, and are good with other little dogs. Alexia
is a little too interested in cats, and what Alexia does, Cujo tends to emulate,
but Button seems to be okay with a dog-tolerant cat.
If you are
looking for a doxie or two, this is a great opportunity to get some very very
nicely brought up dachshunds. Button
would be fine if separated from Cujo and Alexia. However,
Cujo and Alexia cannot be separated, but if someone is looking for a pair of
doxies, they would love to audition for adoption as a pair!
If
you are interested in one or two of these doxies, please fill out an application
at http://secondchancedogrescue.org/index.php/ai,
and email Deb, their foster
mom at DebandRick@cox.net.
The adoption
fee for each doxie is $175.00.

New! Foster Home Needed

Name:
Dylan
Age: 12 years
Color: Black & Tan
Coat: Longhair
Sex: Female/Spayed
Size: Mini – 13
lbs.
A sweet, quiet little lady, Dylan came into Rescue
with her two adult puppies, both have long since been placed in their own homes.
At first, Dylan was heartbroken, but
she has made the best of things.
Dylan has done well in foster care, but
circumstances have changed in the home. Her
foster mom had to return to full-time employment and can no longer be at home
all day with Dylan, leaving her alone for long periods of time.
Dylan will be happiest in a quiet home with no children, preferably with
a retiree or someone who works at home. She
is very sociable with the other dogs, but would not mind being someone’s only
little princess.
Although she is in very good health for her age, Dylan has cataracts which she considers only a minor inconvenience. She doesn’t seem to have any trouble getting around and uses the dog door most of the time. Because of her limited vision, Dylan needs a home all on one level, with steps that can be easily ramped to make going outside as trouble-free as possible.
Dylan is in good health for her age, current on vaccines, and her few remaining teeth are in good shape. She eats kibble just fine. We think Dylan is adorable.
If
you are interested in Dylan, please contact Dena via email
or call (562) 694-6868. A home check and an adoption
application are required.
The
adoption fee for Dylan is on a donation basis.

currently located in the
Transport to
Name:
Zaboo
Age: 3 ½ years
Color: Black & Tan
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Mini – 13 lbs.
Poor Zaboo has
been passed around a great deal in his young life.
He lost his first home when he was a year old. Then
his new owner ended up in rehab and Zaboo went to the grandmother's.
During the last two years the family has moved numerous times so Zaboo
has never been able to get comfortable anywhere.
Family
financial problems also affected Zaboo. At
times his family couldn't afford dog food, so he was fed people food.
Other times they could only afford cheap, low quality dog food.
The lack of good nutrition shows in his coat as it is rough and he has
lost hair around his neck and rear. We
expect that after some weeks on a high quality dog food there will be a
significant improvement.
However, even
with all that Zaboo has been through, he is still a wonderfully sweet tempered
dog. He is a little shy in new
situations, but he loves people and seeks out affection. In
his past, he happily lived with a 4 year old child. He
is being fostered with a number of other dogs, and he is getting along with all
of them.
He is crate
trained and housebroken. He needs a
home that will provide him with the consistency and stability his life has so
far lacked. He also needs a home
with people who will take him on a walk every day.
Neutered and
current on his vaccinations, Zaboo is ready for his forever home.
If you would like to meet him, please e-mail Lindy at linla@comcast.net.
A home check and an adoption
application are required.
The adoption fee for Jack is $200.00.

Transport to
Name: Jake
Age: 4 years
Color: Black & Tan
Coat: Longhair
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Mini – 10 lbs.
Jake
has spent the last three years of his life living with an elderly owner who was
in a significant physical and mental decline.
As a result he had no consistency, no rules, and no exercise. In
the absence of a pack leader, he became hyper-vigilant and reactive to every
noise, dog, and person he saw.
Jake
is very sweet with people that he knows. He
can get along with other dogs if he is given clear rules that are enforced (i.e.
not being allowed to charge another dog). Jake
is now learning social skills, and we have even seen him playing with other doxies
occasionally. Jake is significantly
less reactive after only a week in foster care, and he no longer barks at every
sound. Each day he relaxes a little
more as he realizes that he no longer has to be in charge.
Jake
is a tiny little thing and he loves to be cuddled.
He wants a home without children and where he gets to get out and about.
No more being cooped up the house all day for him! His
ideal home would be with a mellow
dachshund buddy, but he would also be a great “only dog”.
Previous
experience with a longhaired dachshund would be a big plus, as Jake will need
regular brushing to keep his coat looking beautiful.
He is crate trained, but like all doxies, he is dying to sleep in the big
bed with his person. His foster mom
is working on his housebreaking, but after three years of eliminating wherever
and whenever he wanted, it will take a little more time for her to be able to
declare him housebroken. He's had a
recent dental cleaning and he is up to date on his vaccines.
Jake
is ready for his forever home. If you would like to meet him, please email Lindy
at linla@comcast.net.
A home check and adoption application
are required.
The
adoption fee for Jake is $200.00.

Name:
Boris
|
Name:
Tasha
|
Boris and Tasha are healthy,
well behaved, and crate trained. They
are getting a refresher course in house training.
They need a home with someone who has the experience and patience to
continue their house training routine, so they can become reliable in this
important area. They need a home
with a dog door and a yard. They are
not apartment dogs.
Boris appears to be an alpha
male and needs to be reminded periodically that he is not in charge of the
humans in the house. He likes the
female doxies in his foster home, but he loves his Tasha.
They are quite devoted to each other.
Boris and Tasha are very
friendly toward people and love to be picked up and cuddled.
They could use some leash training so they would not pull so
much when going for a walk. Their
vaccinations are all up-to-date, they’ve been microchipped, and they both
recently had a dental cleaning.
If
you are interested in Boris and Tasha, please contact Dena via email

Name:
Little Jack
Age: 10 months
Color: Black & Tan
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Mini – 11 lbs.
Little Jack came
into rescue with his mother who was bred her first heat and was a mother at 9
months. After observing them, we
felt she would do better being separated from Jack.
Jack is adorable, but he hogs all the attention and will push his mother
away from humans and toys and treats in order to get everything for himself. That
said, we don't think Jack should be an only dog.
He would do best in a home with another small dog.
He gets along with both male and female dogs.
His current best play buddy is a male dachshund.
Jack's facial
markings have led to him being referred to as Eddie Munster and Count Chocula.
His foster home calls him Monkey Man, because Jack can climb!
If a human is standing close to a wall or a piece of furniture, Jack will
use the wall/furniture to brace himself against as he climbs up your legs in
order to get into your arms. (Did we
mention he likes attention?)
Jack is still
very young so he has lots of energy and needs to go for daily walks.
He goes bonkers when the leashes are pulled out.
He is extremely people-friendly and could go to a home with respectful
children over the age of 8. Jack is
somewhat “tail challenged”, as he has a stubby half-tail which is a
congenital deformity and causes him no problems.
Neutered and
current on his vaccinations, Jack is ready for his forever home. Just one look into Jack’s
smiling face, and you will lose your heart.
If you would
like to meet him, please e-mail Lindy at linla@comcast.net.

Puppy
Name: Rudy
Age: 5 months
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Mini – 12 lbs.
Rudy
is a sweet doxie puppy. We think one
of his parents may have been a mix, probably a bit of Min Pin.
He has short legs, a long body, but Min Pin ears.
His former owners kept him outside 24/7 on a concrete patio with just a
ratty blanket for protection against the elements, no shade, no dog house, no
crate, or even a dog bed. When they
had to move, lucky for Rudy, they turned him over to Rescue to find a better
home.
Rudy is wonderful. He loves to be held like a baby and kissed, returning affection tenfold. He is crate trained, and 90% house trained. He is quiet and gentle with his person, enjoying cuddling and belly rubs while watching TV. How could anybody have treated this baby so shabbily?
Rudy is shy at first, but becomes very affectionate once you have earned his trust. He is always asking to be picked up and cuddled. Rudy needs leash training, as he is still a puppy. He likes car rides if they are not too long. He is apprehensive at the dog-park. He really doesn’t enjoy it yet. He is healthy, his shots are current, and he was just neutered and microchipped. We think he is a good candidate for someone who has a dog-friendly cat. He is learning about how to play from his new buddies in his foster home.
We are looking for a home for Rudy where he will have a friendly female canine companion and someone willing to give him lots of attention. He deserves to be fussed over, and spoiled rotten. He is safe with gentle children over 8 years old. If you work from home or have an active life style, then you would be an ideal home for Rudy. He wants to go with you everywhere.
If
you are interested in Rudy, please contact
Dena via email
or
call (562) 694-6868.
A home-check and an adoption application
are required.
The adoption fee for Rudy is $300.00.

Name: Mango
Age: 10 Years
Color: Black
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Tweenie - 15 lbs.
Poor Mango was
taken to the pound by his people in mid-March. Although
they didn’t say why they were getting rid of him, we suspect it was because he
had a large cystic growth on his neck, and they didn’t want to (or couldn’t)
pay to have it removed. The nice
people at the shelter took care of it and biopsied the mass to make sure it was
benign, which it was. After going
through this major surgery, Mango sat in the pound for three more months. He
was a staff favorite, which explains why they kept him for so long, but no one
wanted to adopt this sweet, sweet dog. Although
Mango doesn’t seem to have much dachshund in him, we just couldn’t leave him
there a moment longer. He was so
grateful to be in a home again!
Mango might be
10 years old, but he looks and acts like a much younger dog. In fact, he is so
youthful and active that we didn’t believe he was over five years old, but our
vet confirmed it. She also confirmed that he is a healthy dog with no heart,
vision or hearing problems. We think
Mango is a mix of dachshund, spaniel and something else. He doesn’t photograph
very well, so it’s hard to tell from his picture that he is an extremely
handsome dog. He has a beautiful, soft, healthy coat and cute little fold-over
ears. His body is the size and shape of a small standard dachshund, but he has
taller legs, which makes him a good choice for families with stairs in their
home.
A squishy
little dog, Mango loves to be held and petted. He
seems hungry for love and affection. He’s a very loyal companion, quiet,
sweet-tempered and very easy to have around. He
sleeps peacefully in his crate at night, but he would prefer to sleep on the
bed, curled up by his person’s feet.
Mango enjoys
meeting new people and dogs, especially the girl doxies. Although he would do
perfectly well as an “only dog”, he would also enjoy having a canine
companion. He would like to have his people around as much as possible, but he
would probably be okay in a working family. We
think he would be the ideal companion for a senior woman or couple. He
probably wouldn’t do well with boisterous children, but children over six
years old would be fine, as long as they are gentle with him. He
doesn’t seem to care much about cats.
Neutered,
vaccinated and microchipped, Mango is ready for his forever home. If
you would like to meet him or foster him, please email Tamar at tamar@crankyeditor.com.
A home check and an adoption
application are required.
The
adoption fee for Mango is only $100.00.

Name: Zoey |
Name: Zeus |
Zoey and Zeus had it rough before they came into rescue. Their family lost their home to foreclosure, fought a lot, and finally divorce left Zoey and Zeus in another very bad situation. The people who were taking care of them let them get terribly, terribly thin. Our vet ran tests and found nothing wrong with them. They just weren’t getting fed enough or on a regular basis. They were skin and bones when they came to rescue, but now they are filling out and looking quite nice.
Everyone who
meets these two falls in love with them. In
addition to being absolutely adorable, they are both sweet-tempered and full of
personality. Zoey is crazy about her
ball. The only time she doesn’t have a ball in her mouth is when she’s
eating—she even falls asleep with it in her mouth! A
submissive little girl, Zoey is mellow and very easy to have around.
Zeus is a
dominant male. He gets along with other dogs, but he will establish dominance
over any other male dogs in the home. Although
he is feisty and can get into mischief, he is extremely loving and affectionate.
He will sit on his person’s lap
for hours. When he’s not washing
his sister’s face and ears, he’s usually sleeping on her, and Zoey
loves it!
Zoey and Zeus
are housetrained, but they will need a refresher course in their new home. They
wouldn’t do well in an apartment or condo—they need a fenced yard and a
doggy door. Zoey is quiet, but Zeus
will bark at squirrels and other yard invaders (i.e., the mail carrier, the
gardener). They are crate trained and go in happily when asked, but they would
probably love to cuddle in bed with their person. They
enjoy going for walks, but since being out and about on a leash is a new
experience for them, they pull a little. They
would benefit tremendously from basic obedience class.
Zoey and Zeus
love meeting new people: Zeus greets
them with kisses and a wagging tail, and Zoey runs up with her ball in her
mouth, waiting for the visitor to throw her ball for her. We
think they’d be fine with children over eight years old. They
are not good with cats.
Zeus and Zoey are a bonded pair, and we will not
separate them. They must be adopted
together—NO EXCEPTIONS!
Healthy,
spayed/neutered and vaccinated, Zoe and Zeus are ready for their forever home.
If you would like to meet them, please email Tamar at tamar@crankyeditor.com.
A home check and an adoption
application are required.
The
adoption fee for both doxies together is $400.00.

Age: 5 months
Color: Black & Tan Double Dapple
Coat: Longhair
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Mini. – 7.5 lbs.
Magoo is a male,
double dapple, longhaired dachshund puppy. He is absolutely gorgeous with spots
of dapple and red on a white background. Unfortunately,
this color breeding does sometimes come with a genetic condition affecting
vision and hearing.
Our little Magoo
has limited eyesight, because he has an abnormally tiny right eye. He
is not in any discomfort and will do well as he has never had it any other way. He
doesn’t know what its like to see like a regular dog. He
does not run into walls, but his sight is not perfect. Magoo
may also have some hearing problems.
Magoo is shy,
snuggly and so sweet. He will make a
great pet for someone willing to overlook his special needs. He
is about 5 months old now and weights 7.5 lbs so he will likely stay a mini.
Magoo is a playful boy who loves treats and toys, he is a great puppy. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in adopting Magoo, please visit www.pupsandpals.net for more info and an adoption application. Also, please note that we are all volunteers, so it may take 3-5 days to process your application, but you will hear back from us.

Chase appears to be a dachshund
mix. We think he has a little bit of beagle in
his family tree. He is the same size as a tweenie dachshund,
but he has some coloring of his beagle ancestry.
He is the nicest boy ever. As
you can see from his picture, Chase is a very handsome fellow, as sweet and
affectionate as he is good-looking. Who
could resist those soulful eyes? Chase
gives nice kisses, and he loves to be cuddled. He
is good with other dogs and enjoys their company.
We don’t know if he is safe around cats.
We feel he would be fine with gentle children over 10 years old.
Chase
needs a home with people who are kind and gentle.
His foster family has observed that he is really sensitive and if you
move towards him really fast and or reach for him suddenly, he cries out,
because he gets scared. To his
credit, however, he is perfectly house trained.
He had a few accidents in the beginning, but is doing better now that he
is on a good schedule.

Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Tweenie – 13 lbs.
Isak was
picked up as a skinny stray in
Isak is a
lovely black and tan with a gorgeous hound face. He
is lacking a bit in confidence, so he would do best in a home with another dog
to mentor him. He has been playing
well with a variety of dogs in his foster home, males and females.
Isak has indicated that he would like to chase the resident cat, so he
would do best in a “no cat” home.
Isak is crate
trained, and his house training is coming along nicely.
If he is taken outside promptly upon rising and periodically throughout
the day, he is accident-free. He
needs someone willing to keep him on a schedule so he can become reliably house
trained in the shortest amount of time. He
needs a home with a dog-door and access to the yard to help make achieving this
goal possible.
Isak is young
with a young dog's energy. He needs
a home that will give him lots of exercise and consistent rules (to help with
his confidence). Experienced
families with gentle children over 8 years old are encouraged to apply.
Neutered and
current on his vaccinations, Isak is ready for his forever home. If you would

This
dog is being fostered in the
Transport to
Name: Rupert
Age: 2 years
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Mini - 12 lbs.
Rupert's original owners loved him, but they didn't really take care of him. He came into rescue with his daughter, Dee Dee. We split the two dogs up, because Dee Dee was very dependent on Rupert and needed to learn to be more independent and socialized with other dogs.
Rupert’s
true personality began to come out after he was no longer responsible for Dee
Dee. He is now extremely playful,
the one dog all the other foster dogs at his home want to socialize with. Rupert
is extremely affectionate with people and loves to sit on laps.
He has a lot of youthful energy. As
he gets more comfortable, he is becoming more puppy-like.
He loves going for walks. He
is also a good car traveler.
Rupert
has a lovely silky coat and a handsome face.
He is crate trained and his foster family is working on perfecting his
house training skills. He
could go to a home with older, respectful children.
He would really love to have a young, playful female dog as a companion
as well.
Rupert is healthy, though he needs to put on a little weight, and all his vaccinations have been brought up-to-date.
If
you are interested in Rupert, please contact Lindy at linla@comcast.net.
A home check and adoption
application are required.

We estimate he will fill out to be about 12 pounds.

a walk is his favorite thing. Trevor will need a bit more training as he is
still a puppy, but he will be a great dog for a special home.
Trevor

Name:
Keebler
(was Chunk)
Age: 6 years
Color: Red Dapple
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Obese Tweenie - 27 lbs.
Keebler
and his "sister", Sadie, were surrendered by their owner to an overcrowded
northern CA shelter. We agreed to
take them sight-unseen. We were told that the male was overweight, but
nothing prepared us for Keebler. We
were shocked at just how obese he really was. He came to us weighing
almost 31 pounds, which is double what he should be. His nails were
so long, he could hardly walk, and his stomach touched the ground.
On
his owner surrender papers it asked if there were any behavioral problems. On
Keebler's it said "too lovable and overweight".
Both of those are understatements. In
foster care, Keebler has begun losing weight quite easily. He
does not overeat if all he is offered is quality low-calorie dog food. (It was
clearly people food that got Keebler in his fat state.) After
taking off just two pounds, he became a different dog.
Once his stomach was no longer dragging on the ground, Keebler became quite
frisky. Keebler's first picture shows him at
nearly 30 lbs and he is losing weight each week.
Keebler
is extremely people focused and will follow his foster mom everywhere. He
does not like to be left alone, so he either needs a home where his human is
around most of the time or where he has a canine sibling or two. He
is really enjoying his short walks and is getting more energy every day. He
also is starting to get playful with the young dogs who share his foster home.
He loves to cuddle and is delighted if he is allowed up on the big bed.
Once
he is svelte again, he is going to be a gorgeous dog. He
has red dappling on his face and front paws and a wonderfully expressive face. He
has no interest in cats and he has been very good with the other dogs. However,
he is unreliable around small children, older teens would be OK.

you are interested in Keebler, please contact Lindy at linla@comcast.net.

Name:
Mitzi |
Name:
Frieda |
When Frieda and Mitzi’s owner died, no one in the family wanted to take them in. Family members have entrusted Rescue to find them a wonderful home. They were so traumatized by their owner’s death and the aftermath, they did not eat for almost a week, did not want to leave the security of their crate.
After
living with their foster family for the past 6 months, the Golden Girls, as we
refer to them, are more than ready to have a home of their own. Best friends for
12 years, they stick together through thick and thin. Like
the sitcom character Maude, Frieda is independent, feisty, outspoken, bossy,
opinionated and domineering, but she is also loving, devoted, sweet and kind. She
sits up on her hind legs and gives you the “I love you”-“pet me” eyes.
She likes to be the first dog sitting next to you while you watch television.
She will follow you anywhere you go in the house or outside.
Frieda
enjoys bathing in the sun and snooping around the yard. She often runs and plays
with the younger foster children even though she is grey in the face, you would
not know she is an “older woman”. Every once in awhile, she will pick up a
toy and play with it. Frieda is the outgoing one.
She runs around, chases and plays with the younger dogs.
She is a little bossy at times, and does not hesitate to corral them, or
put them in their place when she has had enough, but she is not aggressive or
mean.
Meanwhile,
her best friend Mitzi does not mind being second fiddle. She
is polite, sweet, expressive and kind. She
seems to always have a smile on her face! She
loves to chase and hunt lizards, but could care less about the wild birds or the
turtles that live in the backyard. Mitzi
is somewhat smaller than her sister. She
is very loving, likes to be close to you, and be petted as often as she can.
She is very sweet and gentle, and likes to groom the other dogs.
They also both like to groom each other, sleep a good deal of the day, love to nap in the warm sun and have learned several commands since they have lived with their foster parents. Frieda and Mitzi are both in good health. Their vaccinations are all current. They both have had full health exams and a recent dental cleaning. So now they have sweet breath and give delicious kisses.
Do
you have room in your heart and home for these beautiful sisters?
They have twice the love to give and will bestow a lucky new family
with years of joy. They
have been together for 12 years and are a bonded pair.
They cannot be separated.
If you can provide a good home for Frieda and Mitzi, please contact Dawn at dawnaa@pacbell.net. A completed adoption application is required.
The
adoption fee for both Frieda
and Mitzi is a donation to SCDR only.

Name: Mikey
Age: 14 years
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Tweenie
Mikey’s owner
ended up in the hospital for an extended time, and no one in her family wanted
to take on an older dog, so he ended up being turned over to rescue. Mikey
is almost completely blind and starting to go deaf probably from old-age, but he
still navigates just fine once he learns the layout of the house.
Before coming to
rescue, Mikey lived outside on a ranch. A
few years ago, he was kicked by a horse, resulting in one side of his face being
paralyzed (much like a stroke victim), so that one eye doesn't close all the
way. Mikey is still able to eat and drink just fine though, and being an
older guy with some "old age" issues doesn't seem to slow him down in
the least. Mikey LOVES to chew on bones and is an absolute chow hound.
When Mikey came
into rescue, he weighed over 17 pounds. He's
now on a strict diet to help him trim down. Mikey tends to have a bit of a
delicate tummy, so a simple diet of lamb and rice dog food is all he really
needs to be happy - too many treats and his poor little tummy gets very upset.
Mikey is
potty-pad trained and we're working on his house training - since he was an
“outdoor only” dog before, he got used to going potty wherever he felt like
it, but he's doing really well with the potty pads and is learning to bark when
he needs to go outside. Mikey will
need to have a dental cleaning done within the next year - he had one a year
ago, but you know how those doxie teeth can be.
Mikey gets along
great with other dogs and is also fine with cats, but he just really wants a
nice warm lap to curl up in and a person to cuddle with.
He's a huge snuggle-bug and would make a great dog for an senior citizen
looking for a companion who's not too active, but still has plenty of good years
left.
If you are
interested in Mikey and want to give him a forever home, please contact Katie
at katie@collared-scholar.com

for more information!

adoption fee for Mikey is on a donation basis only.

Name:
Bunny
Age: 12 Years
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Female/Spayed
Size: Standard – 20 lbs.
Bunny is why
we always enjoy taking senior doxies into rescue. Gentle, sweet and adorable,
she is a true pleasure to have around. She loves everyone she meets, especially
men, and will happily greet visitors with a wagging tail and a nice kiss. Like
many lady doxies, she’s a real “daddy’s girl”, so she should have a
daddy in her new home. She gets
along great with other dogs, and would like a mellow dachshund for a companion.
Like many seniors, she sleeps a lot during the day, so she’d be fine living
with people who work regular hours. She is quiet and seldom barks. Doesn’t she
sound perfect? We think so, too!
Bunny had
bladder stones when she came into rescue. Our vet removed them, but she needs to
have an annual urinalysis to make sure they haven’t recurred. Otherwise,
she’s extremely healthy, with clear eyes and sharp hearing. She enjoys napping
in the sun, exploring the backyard and going on pleasant walks around the
neighborhood. In the evenings, she especially enjoys curling up next to her
person on the couch. In every way, Bunny is loving, affectionate, and sweet.
At night, she
hops right into her crate, but she’d probably really love to sleep with her
person. We think she’d be fine with gentle children over five years old. She
is NOT good with cats—true to the breed, she chases small animals and is a
very good ratter. She’ll earn her keep if you have rodents in the yard! Bunny
is housetrained and knows how to use the dog door.
Spayed and
vaccinated, Bunny is ready to meet her new people. If you would like to meet
Bunny, please email Tamar at tamar@crankyeditor.com.

Name: Elmer
Approx. Age: 9-10
years
Color: Wild Boar
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Standard – 17 lbs.
When
Elmer’s family moved to a new house, they could not take Elmer with them.
Instead, they gave Elmer to their in-laws who put Elmer out in the back
yard 24/7. No matter what the
weather conditions, poor Elmer was not allowed in the house.
A drafty dog house and ratty blanket were all he had for shelter and
comfort for two years. He became
obese from lack of regular exercise. When
Elmer’s family came to visit, they were appalled when they saw the conditions
under which Elmer was living, and they took Elmer to Rescue for placement in a
proper home where he could sleep in the warmth and comfort of an indoor
environment, get regular exercise and lose the excess weight.
Elmer
may be sort of homely, but he’s adorable in his own fashion.
His paws and muzzle may be getting frosted, but since losing considerable
weight and getting regular walks and exercise, his energy level is soaring.
He is now a very active boy. We
are looking for someone who wants a dog to accompany them on brisk walks, play
ball or Frisbee, and also wants to snuggle in the big bed or on the sofa while
reading or watching television. He
likes to have his rump scratched and his belly rubbed.
He is also very “food driven”, so never leave your snacks or dishes
where he can easily reach them.
Elmer
is dependably house trained. That's a big plus. Elmer is very good with
adults, especially men. When guests
arrive, Elmer is not in the least bit protective of his people.
He is 100% fine with new people as long as they don't touch his paws or
approach him from behind. You will
never have to worry about introducing him to anybody, and when entertaining at
home, you will only have to warn people not to let him near their food.
Elmer
is not safe with children under 12 years old.
Teens would be OK. He is an
excellent “ratter”, and for this reason, we will not place him in a home
with cats. His prey instinct is very
strong. He has successfully caught
birds and rodents at his foster home. He
gets along with other dachshunds and would not mind having a female companion.
He's also completely fine with large breed dogs.
Elmer
is happy, full of energy, plays chase with his foster sister, shares food, toys,
and his bed too. He loves to
sunbathe and he even likes getting a bath. His
leash training is excellent – he never pulls.
His foster mom says "he’s a very silly boy".
Elmer
is healthy and current on all vaccines. He is crate trained and 100% house
trained. Elmer knows how to use a
dog door and likes coming and going at his own discretion.
He is ever on alert for gardeners, UPS delivery people, and the dreaded
postal delivery person. He is
convinced they are all axe-murders.
If
you are interested in Elmer, please contact Dena via email
or call

adoption application is
required.
The
adoption fee for Elmer is $125.00.

Name: Sister |
Name: Brother |
Given to Rescue after their owner died, Brother and Sister are a
very sad reminder of what happens when unqualified people breed their dogs. The
offspring of two littermates, Brother and Sister were born with serious
congenital defects. After several tests, our vet thinks their spinal cords never
developed properly. Brother and Sister cannot raise their heads more than about
12” from the ground and their brains don’t know how to feel sensation in
their feet, which means they both have a very difficult time walking. They’re
okay on carpet or grass, but without that traction they fall over when they try
to move. In addition, Brother has neurological problems that present in the form
of difficulty communicating and a mild case of epilepsy, which is effectively
controlled by Phenobarbital (very inexpensive). As if all these problems
weren’t enough, Brother and Sister were bred together, too. How can people do
things like this? We don’t understand.
Some people might think that these doxies aren’t worth saving or
that they have such a poor quality of life that it would be better to have them
humanely euthanized. After spending some time getting to know them, we think
otherwise. We’ve seen that even though they have physical limitations, Brother
and Sister really enjoy their lives. They remind us of people with developmental
disabilities—their bodies and minds may not work like everyone else’s, but
their spirits are filled with love. We don’t think it’s time for them to
leave this world.
We don’t think either dog knows anything is wrong with them.
Brother
greets his foster mom and dad with a wagging tail and particularly enjoys being
near his foster dad.
He loves to be held and scratched on his neck—he
makes the funniest faces when we find his “sweet spot”! Sister follows her
foster mom around all day, getting around as best she can. If her foster mom
steps out of view even for a moment, Sister does a happy dance when she sees her
again. A sweet, slightly silly girl, Sister likes to carry a stuffed toy in her
mouth. When the other dogs get noisy and too boisterous, she schools them on
proper behavior. She’s quite a character. They both love to sunbathe in the
back yard, and Brother can even make it back inside sometimes. Sister prefers to
wait until someone carries her inside. She’s a bit of a princess.
Despite their physical limitations, Brother and Sister are very easy
to have around. They enjoy curling up together in a big dog bed or watching the
other doxies run around and play. In addition to being spayed/neutered and
current on their vaccinations, they are housetrained and very good at holding it
until they are taken outside. They cannot navigate the dog door, so they need to
be carried outdoors three or four times a day to do their business. They sleep
peacefully in their crate at night, but they would also enjoy sleeping in the
big bed with their person—they love to cuddle and snuggle.
Unfortunately, we have recently discovered that Brother can be very aggressive with strangers. If someone he doesn't trust tries to pick him up, he will bite. Fortunately, this problem is easily resolved by crating Brother when people visit. He won't mind, and his people won't have to worry. He is safe with his owners, but they will need to take the time to get to know him and gain his trust before they can safely handle him. He also seems to recognize frequent visitors and is fine with them, too. Sister is perfectly happy to meet anyone, anytime and is safe with all visitors and family members.
For the right person, these two dogs will be the perfect companions,
but it’s going to take a long time and a lot of work before we find that
person. They are a bonded pair, and they cannot be separated. We will only place
them together.

please email Tamar at tamar@crankyeditor.com.

Name:
Petey
Age: 1 year
Color: Brindle Piebald
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Mini – 12 lbs.
Petey
was found on the street shortly after he had been hit by a car. A good person
took him to the Camarillo Shelter where the vet said he needed six weeks of
bed-rest to heal and that he would probably be OK without surgery. His
family never showed up to claim him. He
is an adorable dachshund/terrier mix. We
were quite pleased to take him home for rest, rehabilitation and subsequently
find a new, loving home.
Petey will give you unconditional love, slobbery kisses that won't end, and beg for belly rubs. He is your typical puppy, always busy looking for mischief. He is very smart, and he has boundless energy, but he is also very anxious to please. He would really love obedience and or agility training. Petey needs a young, active family – one with children to run and play with him.
Petey
is 90% house trained, crate trained and knows the dog-door.
He loves to run around the yard, and loves to play with other dachshunds.
Petey really enjoys going for walks and needs at least two long walks a
day. In lieu of walks, throwing a
ball or Frisbee for him would work as well. He
also likes to ride in the car. We do
not know if he is cat-safe. He is
not safe with children under 5 years old. Although
Petey is crate trained, he prefers sleeping under the covers on your bed, but
will settle for a comforter in his crate instead.
He loves to cuddle and snuggle.
Petey appears to have one fault: He is territorial when new people come to the door, so he needs to be introduced slowly. He is not a dog that would do well alone for 8 or more hours a day, as he gets into things when he is alone. He needs socialization with other dogs and people - but loves everyone. Obedience classes would be very beneficial for helping to solve this problem.
Petey
is now in good health. At times, he
will hike up his back leg when he runs. (This
could be a result of his previous injury or it just feels good when he does it. Many
dogs walk on four, but run on three for some reason.)
His vaccinations are all up-to-date, and his teeth are so white you will
need sunglasses to look at them. Petey is
not an apartment or condo dog. He needs a big back yard to run off his
excess energy. He would not do well cooped up in an apartment all day.
If
you can provide a good home for Petey, please
contact Dena via email
or
call (562)
694-6868. An
adoption application is required.
The adoption
fee for Petey is $250.00.

Name: Jasper
Age: 8 years
Color: Brindle
Coat: Longhair
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Standard – 20 lbs.
Jasper
was adopted from a shelter back in August of 2008 by a nice young lady.
He was dirty and very matted. The
nice young lady took him home, and was totally clueless as to how to groom a
longhaired dachshund, so she had him bathed and shaved to get rid of all the all
the mats and start fresh. After that, he
looked more like a fuzzy teddy bear than a dachshund.
After a few months, the young lady realized that she really didn’t have
time for Jasper, what with working, college, and the busy social life of a young
person. So she asked Rescue to find
Jasper a home where they will pay more attention to him.
We readily agreed.
Jasper made himself right at home almost immediately.
He commandeered a large dog crate with a nice blanket and this where he
sleeps at night. Other
than the fact that his previous owner said he was 8 years old, we'd have never
guessed it. Jasper is a ball-playing
fool. He loves to play fetch, and if
you'll keep throwing the ball for him, you'll likely wear out before he will.
He is a bit shy
with new people, but warms up quickly. Jasper
is fine with other dogs, but
he is also happy to be your one and only lover boy.
Jasper knows the dog-door and appears to be house trained. He likes exploring the yard and sunning himself. He likes going for walks and travels well in the car. He is a very good eater; maybe too good. He is on a weight reduction diet. Jasper is healthy and has had his teeth cleaned. All his vaccines are current and he’s microchipped. Jasper would like a home with someone who is retired and can give him lots of love and attention. He is safe with visiting grandchildren over 5 years old, no babies or toddlers please. Previous experience with grooming a longhaired dachshund is a big plus.

Age: 8-9
years
Color: Black and Tan
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Tweenie – 15 lbs.
Mason wandered away from his back yard and got lost.
He is 90% blind, seeing only light and shadows.
He was picked up stray by the Central California S.P.C.A. in
Mason is truly a gem of a dog. He
likes baths and doesn’t mind having his ears cleaned or his teeth brushed.
He has no objection to getting antibiotic drops in his eyes.
He was grateful for all the kindness bestowed on him by his new foster
mom. He gets along well with
older children (not toddlers), and he would be happiest in a home with other
dachshunds, especially of the senior female variety.
We don’t know if he likes cats.
Mason is crate trained, and is getting a short refresher course in house training. He is doing well, especially if kept on a schedule of specific potty outings and regular, leisurely, walks around the neighborhood. He knows the dog door, but sometimes chooses to ignore it; he’s a dachshund from the old school. Mason regards his loss of vision as a minor inconvenience, nothing more. He gets around just fine. He requires daily eye drops, but that is so trivial, it is hardly worth mentioning. Mason is healthy and up-to-date on his vaccinations. His hearing is acute, but Mason can be guilty of “dachshund selective hearing syndrome”.
Mason
needs a home that is all on one level with no stairs and just a step or two that
can be easily ramped to make it easy for him to navigate in and out the door.
Mason is a very sweet, easy-going boy.
He needs a home with folks willing to continue his house training routine
and who can give Mason the love and attention he is so willing to return one
hundred fold.

Age: 8 years
Color: Red Piebald
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Tweenie - 16 lbs.
When J.R.’s owner passed away, no one in the family wanted him.
They put him out in the back yard and basically, forgot about him.
Luckily, a neighbor, and good friend of the deceased owner, took
responsibility for the abandoned dog. She
took him to her own home, fed him and took care of him until Rescue had room to
take him in. She could not keep J.R.
as she had three dogs of her own.
J.R. enjoys being held and cuddled, but can become possessive of his
person. Just
give him a soft blanket in a comfy doggy bed to snuggle and he’s a happy
little camper. It is very apparent
that he was rarely taken for walks. J.R.
likes going for short walks. He is fine
on car rides if he has a fluffy comforter to snuggle in.
J.R. is current on his vaccines and is very healthy. We are looking for a mature couple or single person who can give him a lot of attention as he was starved for affection and needs lots of love.

Name: Simon
Age: 2.5 years
Color: Black/Tan Piebald
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Tweenie – 14 lbs.
Simon
lost his home because he is a fear-biter and he can be food and treat
aggressive. Because of these
behaviors, he is unpredictable around children. Since
his former owners are trying to start a family, they felt Simon needed to find a
new home.
Simon
needs an owner who will be a strong, confident pack leader.
This will allow Simon to relax and make him far less likely to fear-bite.
Simon also needs an owner who has consistent rules so that he learns that
he is not the one in charge. His new
owner will need to be vigilant when Simon is in new situations, giving Simon
time to get comfortable before people approach him.
In his
foster home, Simon is a delightful dog. He
is very loving and cuddly. He has
been doing extremely well with the many dogs in his foster home and has some
excellent play manners. He would do
well with a young, friendly dog companion.
Simon has
tons of energy. (Pies are the high
energy dachshunds). Simon needs a
home where he will get a great deal of exercise.
He is learning to go to the park to play and to greet people outside his
house appropriately. A new owner
would need to continue this training.
Simon, at
one time, lived with a cat and could most likely learn to do so again.
He is totally housebroken. Simon
has received excellent medical care during his life, including bloat correction
surgery. Simon is healthy and his
vaccinations are all up-to-date. If

Name:
Kharmen Ghia
Age: 6 Years
Color: Piebald Double Dapple
with blue eyes
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Female/Spayed
Size: Mini – 12 lbs.
Kharmen-Ghia’s
former owners purchased Kharmen at a pet store, and like many pet store puppies,
she had serious health problems they were not prepared to deal with. Kharmen was
extremely thin and malnourished. She had chronic diarrhea and it appeared that
her food was not being digested at all. Unwilling or unable to pay for tests to
find out what was wrong with her, they turned her over to Rescue.
After
several expensive tests, we knew what we were dealing with: Kharmen-Ghia has a
genetic condition in which her pancreas does not secrete the enzymes her body
needs to process food. Luckily, this condition can be helped with a dietary
supplement. Unfortunately, the supplement costs average between $30 to $50 a
month. Kharmen
also has a pinched nerve in her neck that acts up every once in a while; it’s
a temporary condition that is easily resolved with Metacam, a relatively
inexpensive anti-inflammatory medication that also reduces pain.
Even
though Kharmen has special needs, she is a delight. A beautiful, loving little
doxie, Kharmen has elected herself “Miss Congeniality,” welcoming all new
rescue dogs into her foster home and inviting them to play and run with her,
greeting one and all with a happy face and wagging tail. She runs, plays
"wrestle mania" and can leap tall baby gates in a single bound
(literally)—not to escape the house, but to run to Mommy’s bed. She loves to
watch the birds and survey her kingdom. She will sleep in her crate, but she
would love to cuddle under the covers in the big bed with her person. She would
be fine with children over 10 years old, as long as they are careful with her
neck. She would like to have a doxie companion. She has very little interest in
cats and would do fine in a home with dog-friendly kitties. Kharmen is
housetrained and knows how to use the dog door.
Spayed
and current on her vaccinations, Kharmen is ready for her forever home. If you
would like to meet Kharmen-Ghia, please email Tamar at tamar@crankyeditor.com.

behaved, and crate trained. She is
undergoing some remedial house training instruction. She
has been very cooperative and successful in her training so far.
We are looking for a loving, compassionate person who is willing to
continue to reinforce her house training skills.
She will not do well in a home where no one is home for 8 to 9 hours a
day. Ebony needs to be taken outside
to potty several times a day. She is not an
apartment dog, as she needs a home with a dog-door and a yard to run and
play. She loves going for walks, but she is a bit apprehensive in
the car. Ebony must have been
somebody’s special baby girl, because she prefers to sleep in the big bed with
her people, snuggling under the covers.
Ebony is young and energetic.
Despite her large size, she is quite agile, and has scaled a 3 foot high
baby gate with ease. She has been
caught counter-surfing as well. (That
is standing on her hind legs with front legs on the edge of the kitchen counter,
checking out potential food to steal.) She
corrects very well and has not attempted to jump the baby-gate or counter-surf
since being corrected.
Potential adopters must also have
a very secure yard and take precautions before opening any door leading to the
street. She is young and can run
like the wind. We recommend taking
her to obedience classes at the earliest opportunity.

Name: Julius
Age: 5 Years
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Mini – 11 lbs.
Julius has had
a hard life. We think he was a “yard dog,” meaning he never got to come in
the house, but lived in the backyard. He has scars all over his face and ears,
which tells us he was beaten up a lot by the other dog(s) at his home. He
somehow managed to get out of his yard—and he was hit by a car. He has “road
rash” on his flank, and we think his leg was damaged. Whatever the case,
he’s fine now and runs around everywhere. When he first came into rescue, he
was scared and starved for attention, but after just a few days, he was bouncing
around like a happy little doggie.
Julius is a
play machine! He’s always in the toy box, pulling out stuffies and balls. In
fact, his favorite game is knocking over the toy box, strewing all the toys over
the floor, waiting for his foster mom to put all the toys back in the toy box
and knocking it down again and pulling out all the toys. He also LOVES to play
fetch and will happily chase a ball or stuffed toy for as long as he can. When
his foster mom’s arm gets tired, he takes a stuffed toy and shake shake shakes
it. When he’s done playing, he’ll “hide” the toy in his crate like
treasure, and then curl up for a snooze. A very affectionate little boy, he
loves to have his face and ears pet, and he’ll roll over for a belly rub,
showing the cute white stripe on his chest. He also loves going for rides in the
car and taking long walks.
Julius is a
big talker, and his form of communication is growling. Sometimes his growling is
playful, but other times his growling means he’s unhappy. He doesn’t like to
be told what to do, and he has some resource guarding issues we are working hard
to correct. If he thinks he’s going to be hurt, his growling will get very
scary sounding, but as soon as he feels comfortable again, he gives lots of
kisses. Because of these issues, he wouldn’t do well in a home with children;
but teenagers would be fine. Julius is learning that it’s fun to play with
other doxies, but he’s really just focused on his person, so he could be an
"only dog". He is NOT good with cats or other small animals.
Neutered,
microchipped and current on his vaccinations, Julius is crate trained, dog-door
savvy and perfectly house trained. If you would like to meet Julius, please
email Tamar at tamar@crankyeditor.com.
An adoption application is
required.
The adoption fee for Julius is $200.00.

Name:
Lucy |
If
you love the standard dachshunds, you are going to fall head over heels for
Ricky and Lucy.
Named
for the stars of the 1950’s sitcom, “I Love Lucy”, this Ricky and Lucy are
victims of the economic melt-down in
They
are crate trained, and learning the dog door and the necessary skills to become
reliably house trained. They get
along with other dachshunds. They
walk well on leashes and are good in the car.
They correct well when told “no” or to stop doing something they
shouldn’t. They are affectionate
and devoted to each other. It’s
very obvious that they are littermates.
Applicants
need to be able to keep them on a schedule so they can maintain their good potty
habits. We are looking for a mature
family with children over 10 years old. Working
families are fine as Ricky and Lucy can keep each other company while the family
is out and about. These are very
loving doxies. Not only do they love
each other and cuddle and groom each other, they are very docile with people and
generous with their kisses. They
like to be held and cuddled, and they are hopeful that one day they will earn
the privilege of sleeping in the big bed with their people.
For now, they sleep together in an extra large dog bed in the master
bedroom.
Ricky
and Lucy are very healthy. Their vaccines are up-to-date and they have been
microchipped. If you can provide a
loving home for Ricky and Lucy, please contact Dena
via email
or
call (562) 694-6868.
A home-check and an adoption
application are
required.
The adoption
fee for Ricky and Lucy is $500.00 for both.
(Two payments of $250.00 would
also be acceptable.)

Name:
Candy Cane
Age: 5
years
Color: Red Double Dapple
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Female/Spayed
Size: Mini – 11 lbs.
When
Candy’s back went out, her owners did nothing for her to two entire weeks.
They forced her to stay outside in the cold day and night, dragging her
back legs behind her, becoming bruised and bloody.
Finally, they took pity on her and sent out an e-mail message to several
dachshund rescue groups asking for assistance to find another home for Candy.
SCDR responded immediately, arranged for transport from
During
the next few days, Candy was examined by our very knowledgeable vet, given
medication, and put on crate rest. The
following week, Candy was treated with acupuncture.
Candy was soon able to stand on all four feet and began to learn how to
walk again. Since then, each day she
gets physical therapy and is getting better and better.
The wounds and bruises on her rear legs and feet have healed nicely too.
Candy
is crate trained and knows the doggie door.
Her house training is almost perfect.
She has even mastered going up and down the ramp to the back yard without
her feet slipping out from under her. She
is definitely on the road to a full recovery. She
needs a family willing to keep her on a potty schedule so she can continue to
improve her house training skills. Stay-at-home
moms/dads, or folks who work from home, would be best for her.
She needs a home that is all on one level with no stairs and just a step
or two that can be easily ramped to make it easy for her to navigate in and out
the door. She cannot do stairs at
all.
Candy
gets along great with other small dogs. She
likes gentle children over 8 years old, and enjoys playing with toys. We don’t
know how she would behave around cats. Candy
is the consummate lap dog. She loves
to cuddle and get belly rubs. She
very much wants to sleep in the big bed under the covers with her person.
She would be fine as an “only dog” as long as she was not left alone
for long periods of time. A male
dachshund companion would be fine too.
Candy
is young, now healthy, current on vaccines, and microchipped.
Her teeth are perfect. If you
are interested in Candy, please

Name:
Pilgrim
Age: 3 years
Color: Black & Tan
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Micro Mini – 8 lbs.
Pilgrim has been in foster care for the last two years, because his owner passed away, and wanted Dachshund Rescue to care for him until the end of his years. Unfortunately, during the process of the Probate of the owner's Estate, greedy family members did not want him to benefit from his owner’s intentions. We have recently been authorized by the court to allow this beautiful dachshund the opportunity to find a new, loving home.
Pilgrim is very
tiny and beautiful, and he is such a love. He is content to sit in the middle of
his huge bed, and hog it all to himself, or he cuddles up with another doxie
family member, but like any dachshund, he longs to sleep in the big bed. Pilgrim
is also very mischievous, snooping everywhere in the house, in the yard, in
every bed, crate, nook and cranny. He
is somewhat shy at first, and you must earn his trust, but a more loving dog you
could not ask for.
Pilgrim still needs some work on his potty habits. He
is crate trained, doggy door trained, walks nicely on a leash
and is 95% house trained.
Pilgrim needs an adults-only home. He is safe with cats and other small pets. He needs a dachshund companion, preferably and older female to “mother” him when his humans must be away from home. He is current on shots, very healthy, microchipped, and now waiting now for his forever home.
If
you can give Pilgrim a real good home,
please contact Dawn at dawnaa@pacbell.net. A

adoption application are

Name:
Tulip
Age: 1 year
Color: Tricolor
Coat: Medium Longhair
Sex: Female/Spayed
Size: Tweenie - 14 lbs.
This little
flower was left on a nice lady’s front porch. After
trying in vain to find her people, the nice lady contacted rescue and got her to
us. Poor Tulip had been bitten in
the face by another dog—she is very lucky she didn’t lose her eye! Other
than that, she is a healthy young dog.
Tulip seems to
be a mix of longhaired dachshund, spaniel and min pin. The size of a tweenie,
she has the ears and coat of a longhaired dachshund, the markings of a miniature
pinscher and the face and sweet disposition of a small spaniel. She has longer
legs, so she would be a good choice for a family with stairs in her home.
Calm, quiet
and gentle, this sweet little girl is the most adorable doggie we’ve seen in
quite some time. She is learning how
to play with the other dogs and seems to enjoy their company, but she would be
fine as an “only dog”, especially if she lived with someone who was home
much of the time. She is very
devoted to her foster mom and follows her around all day.
We think Tulip
would make a great family dog, as long as the children were gentle with her. She
sleeps peacefully in her crate, but she would love to sleep in the same room
with her people, maybe even in the big bed! She
is scared of cats, silly thing. With
time and exposure, she would probably do very well in a home with kitties.
Spayed,
vaccinated, house trained and crate trained, Tulip is ready for her forever
home. If you would like to meet her, please email Tamar at tamar@crankyeditor.com.
A home check and adoption application
are required.
The
adoption fee for Tulip is $250.00.

Name: Madeline
Age: 3 Years
Color: Black & Tan
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Female/Spayed
Size: Tweenie – 14 lbs.
When poor
Madeline was brought to a high-kill shelter as a stray, she had been in labor
for several days, with a breach puppy caught in her birth canal. The shelter
vets did a Caesarian section, but none of the puppies could be saved. After she
was spayed, fully vaccinated and microchipped, the shelter gave her to rescue so
she could find a good home.
Madeline’s
personality is as beautiful as her soulful brown eyes and her soft, silky coat.
Although she wasn’t able to mother her puppies, she takes charge of the other
young doxies in her foster home, cleaning them, cuddling with them and teaching
them manners. Her true love is her person, though—if she had her druthers,
she’d be camped out on a lap 24/7. Affectionate, spunky and sweet, Madeline is
very loving and gives lots of kisses and nose nibbles.
The ideal
situation for Madeline would be in a quiet home with people who are retired or
otherwise home much of the time, preferably with at least one other doxie for
companionship. She would not do well in an apartment or with people who were
gone a lot. She isn’t great with cats, but she seems to like gentle,
well-behaved children. She is housetrained and knows how to use the doggie door.
If you would
like to meet Madeline, please email Tamar at tamar@crankyeditor.com.

Riley
Age: 7 years
Color: Black & Tan Dapple
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Mini - 11 lbs.
If you love dapple dachshunds, then you are going to love Riley.
He is sweet and adorable.
Riley came into rescue because his previous owner abandoned him at
the grooming shop. Efforts to get
his people to come back and claim him failed, and after more than a month living
at the groomer’s, Animal Control gave the groomer permission to place Riley
into Rescue.
Riley deserves to have a real home again and to be with a family
that is going to love and cherish him. He
is house trained and very well behaved. Riley
is good with children over 10 years old. He
comes when called (a big plus if you know dachshunds) and gets very excited when
he sees his leash and knows he is going for a walk.
He enjoys going for rides in the car too.
We don’t know if he is safe with cats.
Riley has current vaccines and he is microchipped. We are looking for a family who can give Riley a lot of attention as he is starved for affection and need lots of love. Riley would also like you to know that he would enjoy the company of a non-alpha female doxie. He loves to cuddle, and sleeps under the covers in the big bed. Are you retired and enjoy traveling in your RV? Then Riley wants to be your dog.

Name:
Sadie
Age: 7 years
Color: Black & Tan
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Female/Spayed
Size: Chubby Mini.
Sadie
spent her first four years of life living in a breeding cage.
When she was a puppy, she tore her nose on the cage, so she has a little
tear on her nose which doesn't give her any problem. When
they were finished using her for breeding, she was sold to a nice couple who
found Sadie was still carrying a still-born puppy in her womb when they took her
to the vet to be spayed. Sadie had a
good home for a couple of years, but then two human babies came along and the
family could not give Sadie the attention she deserved, so they turned her over
to Rescue to find just the right home.
Sadie
is a darling girl with soft brown eyes that dance and shine with joy.
She was never leash trained, but she is learning the joys of going for
walks. She is safe with children
over 10 years old. She loves to
held, cuddled, and to sleep in the big bed under the covers with her humans.
Sadie is a snuggler and wants to occupy any available lap, whether you
are working at the computer, watching television, or reading a book.
When Sadie came into rescue, she had a serious bladder infection leading to many indoor potty accidents. After two rounds of antibiotics and crate rest, Sadie is now house trained once again. Regular trips outside and rewards for proper potty habits are the secret of her continued success. She will potty on piddle pads on rainy days or if someone can't get home in time to let her out in a timely fashion.
Recently, Sadie diagnosed with the early stages of Cushings disease. With proper medication, she is on her way into remission and the vet expects Sadie to live a normal lifespan of 14 to 17 years. She will need a maintenance dose of her meds twice a week for the rest of her life. Anyone who has ever had a Cushings dog will tell you it's really no big deal. We look at it as a very minor inconvenience.
Sadie is
wonderful with other dogs and really wants a home with another dog to play with.
She likes to play with toys. She has no issues with cats that we know of.
Sadie’s
vaccinations are up-to-date, she’s been microchipped, and she is healthy.

Age: 6 months
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Female/Spayed
Size: Micro-Mini – 6 lbs.
Mimi
is an adorable "chuweenie" puppy, with big doe eyes and dachshund ears
that stand up. She has the sweetest
disposition we’ve seen in a long time. When
the call came in from the Central California SPCA in
Mimi
was dumped at the shelter on St. Patrick’s Day by a couple that said that Mimi
had a broken right rear leg and they could not afford the vet bill.
No explanation was give as to how this petite puppy managed to get a
broken leg. Shelter volunteers took
one look at this tiny, 6 pound, angel and called us immediately.
Within minutes a transport was set up, and by noon the next day Mimi was
in
Mimi looks like a taller dachshund
with perky ears. She has all the
characteristics of a dachshund, but her ears stand up like a bunny. She
has a lush coat with a lovely tail. Her
teeth are so white you’ll need sunglasses to look at them.
We love her adorable dachshund face and those bunny ears, don’t
you? Mimi is timid when
meeting new people or dogs, but warms up quickly.
She gets along very well with the other dogs in her foster home.
And she loves people too. We
don’t know how she behaves toward cats. Her
foster family says that she’s the easiest dog they've ever seen.
Mimi is a puppy and is learning to
be house trained. She has only had a
couple of accidents since arriving at her foster home.
She is crate trained and goes into her crate voluntarily to enjoy a treat
or take a little nap. She is
learning how to walk nicely on a leash. She
is fine on car rides. She loves to
cuddle and snuggle and would not mind being invited to spend the night in the
big bed with you. Mimi just wants to
be loved all the time. Mimi is now
healthy, microchipped, and her vaccinations are up-to-date.

Name: Maxie
Age: 6 years
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Mini – 12 lbs.
Maxie
is a very handsome mini dachshund – his picture really doesn’t do him
justice. His original owner was a
young woman who became terminally ill and was placed in a nursing home.
She gave Maxie to a friend, but it was not a good fit.
Very young children, two cats, and the chaos of an active household
changed Maxie from a calm lap dog into a nervous, snappy dog.
Maxie enjoys the quiet life, and we promised to find him just the right
home.
Maxie
is very shy with strangers especially men, but once he gets to know you, he
loves to be petted and cuddled and he gives wonderful, soft kisses. His
fur, especially his ears, is like silk and he is a wonderful couch companion and
bed buddy. He loves to go for walks
and is generally up for anything his person wants to do. However,
Maxie can also be possessive of his food and treats and he will snap if he feels
infringed upon - therefore, we will not place him in a home with children or
other pets. He does not like cats at all. Caution should be taken if
children visit.
Maxie
is crate trained, house trained, and dog-door savvy. He
loves going for walks and gets quite excited when he sees his harness and leash.
He travels well in the car. He
is fine with other dachshunds, especially those of the female persuasion.
Maxie would be a perfect companion for someone who is retired or works from home, and he much prefers to be around his person at all times. Retired and travel by RV? Maxie is ready for a road-trip.
Maxie’s
vaccines are up-to-date, he’s been microchipped, and he is very healthy.

Name:
Winnie Marie
Age: 2 years
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Female/Spayed
Size: Micro Mini – 8 lbs.
Next to the word
“adorable” in the dictionary, there should be a picture of Winnie Marie.
Winnie’s original owners allowed their child to harass and abuse Winnie
until one day, Winnie fought back and bit the child. A
friend of the family took Winnie away from them and subsequently turned Winnie
over to Rescue to find a home where no one would ever hurt her again.
Winnie is a
sweet, quiet girl who is loving and playful.
She is shy and a bit defensive when meeting new people, but if given some
time to approach at her own pace, she is very sweet.
She likes men, and would be very happy in a home with one or two of her
very own again. She loves to give
kisses, cuddle in her person’s lap, sleep under the covers in the big bed, and
she enjoys lots of petting and belly rubs. Winnie
is 100% house trained and is dog-door savvy.
Winnie thinks baby-gates are for sissies, so extra vigilance when opening
doors to the street is required.
Winnie walks
well on a leash, and she likes to go in the car.
She would especially appreciate being in an “only dog” family, but
would be fine with another dachshund (male preferred).
We do not know if Winnie is cat-safe.
Due to her past experiences with a sadistic child, we would prefer not to
place her in a home with children.
Winnie is in
good health. Her vaccinations are
all up-to-date. She has been
microchipped. She is a good eater,
loves her food prepared just the right way, with a bit of chicken broth.
She doesn’t care for biscuits or treats.
No junk food for this gal.
Just one look
into her sparkling brown eyes and you will lose your heart to her.
If you are interested in Winnie, please contact

Name:
Moose
Age: 18 months
Color: Chocolate & Tan
Coat: Longhair
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Standard – 30 lbs.
Moose was unceremoniously dumped from his previous owner’s car in
the middle of the parking lot at the Simi Valley Animal Holding Facility.
Witnesses said the “coward” never even got out of his car to see if
his dog made it safely inside the shelter. Coincidently,
there was a Rescue volunteer just arriving at the shelter when all this
occurred, so Moose was immediately rescued and went home with our volunteer.
Though he didn’t know it at the time, this was Moose’s lucky day.
Judging by the
bright whiteness of his teeth and naïve, youthful spirit, we think Moose is not
much more than a year and a half old. He is a 30 pound, large frame,
standard teddy bear. He would not harm a fly. He is a chocolate long
hair with shorter than average length hair, but it does take about two years for
a longhair to grow his coat completely. Moose
is still a puppy by our standards.
Moose is an
innocent pup who has truly lost his way and does not know what he did wrong to
be abandoned, but none-the-less holds no grudge. He only desperately wants
a permanent home where he can give and receive love by the boat load. He
is very playful and fun loving. He gets along with all people and would
love to have a female doxie companion. He is totally socialized. We
would feel comfortable placing Moose in a home with children over 5 years old.
Moose challenges
no one and craves attention and tummy rubs. He appears to be housebroken
and has very quickly learned the dog door. He wants to please, and he
seems pretty smart and obedient. He does sometimes have that thick, stubborn,
headstrong, selective hearing problem that we all know plagues the dachshund
breed. We think he is very trainable, because when you show caring
and leadership, he wants to follow. In fact, he follows his foster
dad all over the house at every opportunity. He wants to learn
commands. He craves attention and desperately wants to know what to
do next and where his loyalty should be placed.
Moose is in excellent health. His
vaccinations are all up-to-date. If
you’ve had previous experience with a longhaired dachshund, it would be a plus
as he needs daily brushing and periodic grooming to look his absolute best.
Moose walks well on a leash and loves car rides.
Just one look into his sparkling brown eyes and you will lose your heart.
He is a very special boy.

interested in Moose, please contact Ralph at ottorig3@gmail.com or

years
Color: Chocolate Dapple
Coat: Semi-Longhair
Sex: Female/Spayed
Size: Mini –12 lbs.
Chloe
is a 2-3 year-old dachshund/spaniel mix who weighs about 12 pounds. She
has medium length long hair and stunningly beautiful amber eyes. Her coat is
chocolate with hints of blond. She
has all the features of a dachshund, but she is slightly taller.
Her family lost their home and trusted Rescue to find her a wonderful
home.
Chloe
is an incredibly affectionate dog who gets along well with other dogs. She also
does very well with children and adjusts easily to a new environment. She still
has the playfulness of a puppy and likes to interact with both humans and dogs.
She also is quite a runner and will obey voice commands in the park. On walks in
the neighborhood she is highly curious and will walk up to every front door, if
allowed.
She
is generally well-behaved in the house, but still has minor potty issues.
However, if she is taken out on a regular schedule she doesn’t appear to have
a problem. She likes to sleep with other dogs or humans.
Outside of the house, she likes to soak in the sun or explore a back
yard. She seems somewhat oblivious to cats, birds and squirrels.
Chloe
will make a great pet for either a single person or a family. She is highly
adaptable to any environment, but she does require attention and a regular
bathroom schedule. She has no known
health issues and she is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations. She
is very active and enjoys walks quite a bit.

animal, etc. They are very respectful of their toys, do not chew or destroy them
like so many of their kind! They also are very good on a leash, enjoy the
outdoors and love their lap time. These two could probably win a wienie race
handily; they are very fast when chasing toys, and love to play tug-o-war
between themselves, as well as with anyone else, dog or human. We have actually

and Roxann were picked up stray and

funny thing is, Fritz and Roxann didn’t know each other prior to being
transported to their foster home in
Fritz and Roxann are in excellent health, microchipped, and their vaccinations are all up-to-date. They are still very puppylike and can get into mischief if left to their own devices for long periods of time. They truly enjoy the comforts of home and the comradery of family, both canine and human. They both love to be held and cuddled. They are crate trained, 90% house trained, and know how to use a dog door. They truly enjoy going for long walks and are good in the car.
We are looking for someone who wants dogs who are very loving and affectionate. Folks who work part-time or from home would be perfect. They are very safe with children over 5 years old. They are affectionate with gentle children. We don’t know how they behave around cats or other small pets.

adoption fee for Fritz and Roxann is $400.00 for both.

Name:
Reggie
Age: 1 year
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Mini – 11 lbs.
Hi, my name is Reggie, and all I want for my birthday is my
very own home! I will be one year
old on May 15th, and I so want to have my very own person to take me
home, love me, scratch my belly and ears, feed me my favorite food and take me
to bed at night.
I am crate trained, doggy door savvy, eat very slow and nice,
love to play with toys, run like a rabbit around the back yard, lay in the sun,
burrow in my blankets, kiss my foster parents, play with my foster family
members and would love to have a brother or sister of my own in my new home.
My foster mom is teaching me “no barking” but I don’t
really bark much, only when strangers knock on the door or enter “my”
backyard. I try so hard to be a good
boy, and I wag my tail all the time, I am very obedient, come when called and
don’t mind being alone for several hours.
I would be content living in a small house or condo, or I think it would
be fun if I could go for rides in an RV and travel the country, I am up to
anything!
I have a very nice personality and I am oh so sweet, my foster
mom said I would make a perfect transition into a new home, and make someone
very happy.
If
you give me a real good home, please contact Dawn at dawnaa@pacbell.net. A
home check and completed
adoption application are
required.

Name: Dieter
Age: 2 Years
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Tweenie – 13 lbs.
Dieter was
dumped in the shelter by a backyard breeder who didn’t want him anymore.
He’s an adorable little guy, but the breeder neglected to socialize him, so
Dieter was very nervous and uncomfortable with people when he came into rescue.
Since then, he has blossomed into a happy, friendly little guy who loves people
and treats his mama like a goddess. If left to his own devices, he sits next to
his person all day long and follows his foster mom around like a little shadow.
He can be a little cautious about being picked up, but once you gain his trust,
he'll relax.
Dieter's
favorite time of day is bedtime. He runs right up the doggie steps, onto the
bed, and waits for his person to get in bed with him. After washing his person's
arm, he'll curl up into a tiny ball right next to you. He will also sleep in a
crate, especially if he's crated with another doxie. A very silly little doxie,
Dieter loves to frisk and prance around, especially before mealtimes. He'll toss
a stuffed toy into the air, catch it and run around the house with it. When he
decides he wants to play with another dog, he rolls over onto his back, wiggles
his paws and tail frantically, and lick the other dog's mouth. It's adorable.
We discovered
that Dieter cannot be an "only dog". The stress of being totally
responsible for “guarding” his home or his person is just too much for him.
However, if he is part of a pack of doxies, he’s just fine—he likes it when
other doxies are in charge. He loves to play with toys and other dogs, and when
it’s time for a nap, he cuddles in a puppy pile with his pack. He does
especially well with male dogs, but a feisty little female would be a fine
companion for him, too. Dieter is extremely submissive, so he would do well with
another doxie who is alpha. He would not do well in a home with cats or children
under 12 years old.
Dieter learned
how to use the doggie door right away and seems to be totally housetrained. He
sleeps peacefully in his crate and jumps in right away when called. Neutered and
current on his vaccinations, Dieter would love to meet his forever people. If
you would like to meet him, please email Tamar at tamar@crankyeditor.com.
An adoption application is
required.
The adoption fee for Dieter is $300.00.

Name: Henri
Age: 2 years
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Tweenie - 15 lbs.
Henri came into
the
Henri is a very
loving and energetic boy. He is a
bit underweight, but his foster parents are working on beefing him up.
Henri gets along wonderfully with all the other animals in his foster
home which includes four cats, another dachshund and four birds. He
even gets along with the wild birds that forage for bugs in the back yard.
Some
of Henri's favorite things include facial massages, long walks on the beach, and
soft beds to cuddle in at night. Henry
is also crate trained and will run into his crate when you say
"Kennel". He has had to be
crated during work hours, because he gets into mischief otherwise. He will need
an owner that is not afraid to make rules and set limitations.
Henri
will chase the cats, but also try to play with them. Sometimes, he will get so
worked up that he knocks over the potted plants and then plays in the dirt. He
can also get a little rough when playing “wrestle mania”. The good news is
that that he will stop and play nice when you tell him to. His
new family should seriously consider taking Henri to obedience training.
He is very eager to learn new things. His
foster parents are currently working on “sit” and “lay down”. He
does pull on the leash, but will stop pulling if you correct him.
Henri appears to be 100% house trained and likes to go potty in the
grass.
We think Henri will be a wonderful companion to just about anyone. He would be safe with children over 8 years old. He's a very friendly dog. He has no issues with other dogs or new people. He is very playful, not an alpha personality. He loves walks, but needs a strong leash and harness to prevent him from getting too excited and pulling. Henri likes to chew his blankets and carry them all over the house, even dragging them outside. (Maybe we should have named him Linus - from the Peanuts cartoon strip.) He is not keen on eating dog food. We think perhaps because he was fed from the table in his previous life or as a stray living off people food scraps.
Henri is up-to-date on his vaccines and is healthy. If you are interested in Henri, please contact Ralph at ottorig3@gmail.com or call (805) 857-8590. A home-check and adoption application are required.
The

Name: Davey
Age: 4 years
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Mini – 11 lbs.
Davey was brought to the shelter after he
was hit by a car. He
languished in the medical ward for two weeks while the shelter people tried to
locate his owner. When we rescued Davey from the shelter, he had a
broken right front leg that had not been treated for more than two weeks, and
the technicians at the shelter stuck an I.V. in the broken leg adding insult to
injury. We took Davey to the vet
immediately after we got him out of the shelter.
It was treated, but after weeks of wearing a cast, the vet told us the
damage was irreversible due to serious nerve damage.
He can no longer walk on it correctly.
But in true dachshund fashion, when life gave him lemons, Davey made
lemonade. He has learned to walk on
three legs, using the disabled leg like a crutch.
Davey is healthy, crate trained, house
trained, and knows the dog door. He
is up-to-date on shots and is microchipped.
He really loves to eat (don’t all dachshunds?).
When he is not eating, he loves to sun himself on the patio.
Davey is very well socialized and is a very willing wrestling partner.
Going for walks is a bit of a challenge as he needs to have his damaged
leg wrapped to prevent it from getting scraped up by the hard sidewalk.
He loves going for car rides. He
rolls over on his back begging for belly rubs at every opportunity.
He wants to be with his person to be held and babied.
He would like a home where he can sleep in the big bed with his person.
Davey is one of the most loving doxies we have ever rescued.
Davey is safe with children over 5 years
old and enjoys their company, especially if they want to pet him or rub his
belly. We do not know if he is cat
safe. Davey would really like a home
with another dachshund who likes to play and cuddle.
He would be a great
apartment or condo dog too.
He needs a home that is all on one level with no stairs and just a step
or two that can be easily ramped to make it easy for him to navigate in and out
the door. He should not do stairs at
all.

you are interested in Davey, please

Sex: Female/Spayed
Size: Micro Mini – 8 lbs.
Veronica (a.k.a. Ronnie) was
turned over to rescue when her family lost their home and could not find a
pet-friendly apartment. This tiny
girl is so sweet and loving, it is almost inconceivable that they could not find
a way to keep her. Alas, they could
not.
Ronnie is a sweet, little girl who
only wants to be loved by her person. She
wants to snuggle with you all night under the covers in the big bed.
She is crate trained, house trained, walks well on a leash, and is well
socialized. She enjoys running and
playing with other non-aggressive dachshunds.
She is good with children over 10 years old, especially little girls, and
seems to be cat-safe (most cats are bigger than Ronnie anyway).
She would not do well with people who are gone to work all day.
She needs someone who either works from home or works part-time.
She is a great little traveler who enjoys going for rides in the car.
She would be a wonderful RV dog. Ronnie
is not an apartment or condo dog. She
needs a doggy door with access to a secure yard.
She does not like to be left alone for long periods of time.
Ronnie deserves a good home with
people who are going love and cherish her for the rest of her life.
She is in good health. Her
vaccines are all current. She has a
million kisses for your face and cannot wait to give them to you.

but the friends already had two dogs and Roger and Ginger were two too many for
them to handle. Luckily, they
contacted Rescue and we were able to help Roger and Ginger, and now they are in

Roger
and Ginger like the other dachshunds in their foster home, and get along well
with all of them. They play with
toys and love to play “wrestle mania”. They
love to give kisses and cuddle in any available lap.
They sleep under their blankie in a big crate together, and they enjoy
lots of petting and belly rubs.
They
have received all their vaccines and they are very healthy.
These are active dogs that need a family with an active lifestyle where
they can take Roger and Ginger on brisk walks, camping trips, dog beach, etc.

Color: Black and White
Coat: Longhair
Sex: Female/Spayed
Size: Mini –10 lbs.
If dogs could talk, little Sasha
would have quite a story to tell. She was found on the streets of
Sasha has been in her foster home for about a month now, and she is improving every day. She has adjusted well, has a good appetite and has started to gain some weight. She gets along very well with her foster sister, also a doxie, and usually tolerates the cat though there is still a bit of growling now and then (on both sides) She seems to be almost completely house trained. If there is a way to get outside to go, she will do so, but hasn't yet warmed up to the doggy door. Sasha enjoys having her own kennel and happily sleeps there at night since her foster mom doesn't want to take a chance of her falling out of the big bed at night.
Sasha has some trouble controlling
her movements, especially when she gets excited. Picture a cross between a
pinball and a fire engine with no one driving the back end. We aren't sure what
caused her physical problems, whether they are neurological or the result of an
injury, but we do know that she is a survivor! She is such a trooper, she just
keeps on going until she gets where she needs to go.
Sasha is nervous about being picked up, but likes to cuddle, hates baths,
and seems a little wary of men - it seems likely she's experienced some abuse in
the past.
Sasha gets along well with other
dachshunds, and appears to tolerate dog-friendly cats, but would be very happy
to be a spoiled little princess. She
wants to sleep in the big bed with her person.
Sasha is the perfect companion for a retired person or someone who works
from home who seeks the love and devotion this little dog is so willing to give.
Previous experience with a longhaired dachshund would be a plus, but not
essential.

Transport to
Name: Tammy
Age: 10 years
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Female/Spayed
Size: Chubby Mini - 14 lbs.
Tammy
is a victim of the current mortgage crisis. Sadly, her people lost their home
and could not secure pet-friendly living arrangements. This is the second time
Tammy has lost a loving home. Fortunately, she is in a wonderful foster home
with a loving temporary mom who has helped Tammy with some much-needed weight
loss and given her lots of love. Tammy is now a happy, well-adjusted doxie who
would love to find her forever home. She doesn’t want to be passed around any
more.
Don’t
let Tammy’s age fool you—she is very playful! She loves to help her foster
mom garden, and she enjoys playing with her foster brother, a big dog, and
cuddling with the kitty who lives in her foster home. She’s also very active
and enjoys going for long walks, even hikes! But she’s very easygoing and
undemanding, and will happily spend a quiet day lazing in the sun.
Tammy
is extremely people focused and wants to be right next to her person at all
times. She is good with cats (she used to live with them). She is happy to greet
everyone and would be fine with respectful children over 5 years old. She
does well with other dogs, but really wants to be with her people, so she could
be an "only dog" if necessary. Tammy really loves to eat will do anything to get
to it—even things one would think a short-legged dachshund incapable of doing.
Her new family will need to make certain that Tammy doesn’t eat too much. Her
svelte new figure is very becoming!
Spayed
and current on her vaccinations, Tammy is in good health. She would be perfect
just about any household, but she would especially like to live with people who
are home much of the time. She is happy to sleep in her dog bed, but she really
loves sleeping in the big bed with her person. Tammy is perfectly housetrained,
a rarity for dachshunds.

This
dog is being fostered in the
Transport to
Name:
Millie
Age: 1.5 years
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Female
Size: Mini – 10 lbs.
Millie
was turned in to the SFACC by her owner. She
was so traumatized by the experience, the shelter deemed her unadoptable by the
general public, so they contacted Rescue. Once
she was out of the shelter and in a foster home, her behavior improved
dramatically. Millie became the
sweet dachshund we always knew she was. Though
she was an “outside dog” in her previous life, she is now enjoying the
comforts and privileges of being in the house with her foster brothers and
sisters.
Millie
was so shy when she first arrived at her foster home, she didn't want to play
with the other dogs and she acted like an old dog - just wanting to hide out and
sleep in her kennel. Her four weeks
in the shelter had really taken a toll on her. As
she got more and more comfortable, the real Millie has emerged. She
now plays with all the other dogs. She
romps and wrestles with them and loves to get in a good game of chase. She
really enjoys cuddling. She likes
toys and chewies.
Millie's
biggest problem is that she will dig under a fence, so she cannot ever be left
in yard alone. (When she dug out at
her foster home, she fortunately just hung out in the front yard). She
is not used to being a house dog, so she still gets concerned when strangers
come to the house. Because of this,
she would do best in a home without children.
Millie
has never been an “only dog”, so she would need some time to adjust to a
situation like this. She would love
a playful male buddy (she wants a dog her size - she doesn't like the big dog in
her foster home).
If
you are interested in Millie, please contact Lindy at linla@comcast.net.

Size: Mini –
11-12 lbs.
Joanna was abandoned at the vet’s office by people who didn’t want to deal with a dachshund with a back problem. Although Joanna was making an excellent recovery, her people refused to come back for her and told the vet to put her down. Instead, he contacted Rescue. We were delighted to help Joanna continue her rehabilitation and to find her a good home.
As
you can see, Joanna is fully recovered. She
would be OK with families with children over 10 years old.
She is friendly toward everyone, but she especially likes little girls
who are gentle with her. She would be fine with a
mellow, mini male dachshund companion, no large dogs.
She is also independent and would do well as an "only dog" if necessary. Unfortunately,
Joanna failed the cat-test, she's aggressive toward cats.
Joanna
is crate trained, house trained and knows the dog door.
She does not like to go outside to potty if it is raining (what dachshund
does?). Fortunately, it does not
rain in
Joanna
is now in good health. Her
vaccinations are all up-to-date. She
would be a good downstairs apartment or condo dog too.
She needs a home that is all on one level with no stairs and just a step

the door. She would need to be
carried up and down any steps to avoid re-injuring her back.

one look into her sparkling brown eyes and you will lose your heart to her.

Unwanted and
clearly unloved, Trudi was found near a dumpster hunting for food behind the
WalMart in
Clearly looking
much better now than the emaciated dirty wreck she came into Rescue as, Trudi
adores being the center of attention. She
is an alpha dog who needs to be either an “only dog” or she can be
with a mellow, non-alpha male companion. Either
way, she needs to get plenty of attention and exercise.
Trudi loves to
go for long walks and will get very attached to her owner and very protective. She
is also very protective of her treats and food amongst other dogs. This
is probably due to having to fight for food in her past. We
think she had at least one litter of puppies before probably escaping from her
backyard puppy-mill duties. She will
respond to direction from her owner in the house, but does have a stubborn
streak when it comes to sniffing on a walk. To
her credit, she does love to be held and to snuggle in bed with her owner.
However, she will accept sleeping in a dog bed in the master's bedroom if that
is her only other option.
Trudi is
friendly with all people - just protective of her owner in the presence of other
dogs. She is not safe with children
under 12 years old. We
don't know if Trudi is cat friendly. Applicants
should have previous experience with dealing with an "alpha dog"
personality and be able to show leadership. She is healthy,
her vaccines are up-to-date, and her teeth are nice and clean.
This beautiful
show-quality girl, with a face that could launch a thousand ships, deserves only
the best after what she has been through. If

Color: Cream
Coat: Longhair
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Mini. – 12.5 lbs.
Theodore
is a breathtaking cream/golden colored longhaired doxie. We estimate he is
around 2-3 years old. He is a sweet
and outgoing boy who likes attention and loves nothing more then belly rubs and
giving kisses. He is great on walks
and outgoing with strangers. He
enjoys car rides and going places with his people. He
is protective and would be a good watch dog too. Although
is he not at all aggressive with other dogs, he does not like bouncy puppies or
big energetic dogs. He is really
more of a people dog. He has a nice
mix of energetic and couch potato.
Theodore
would not do well in a home where he is alone all day or in an apartment as he
does have some separation anxiety. He
is not destructive, but he will bark if he feels left out of family things. He
is housebroken as long as he has access to the outside and he does not mark
territory.

Name: Zeke
Age: 7 years
Color: Black & Tan
Coat: Longhair
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: “Tweenie”, 15 1bs
Zeke
is a real gem of a dog! He is a black and brown long-haired dachshund. His coat
is soooo soft and thick, fun to pet and brush; luckily he likes being brushed
and is the perfect gentleman in the bath. Zeke
is completely people-oriented and adores following people around, curling up in
laps whenever possible and getting petted, but is also okay chilling out nearby.
He LOVES giving kisses! Zeke would really like to sleep on the bed amongst his
people’s pillows, but has contented himself with his doggie bed on the floor
next to foster brother’s bed. He does NOT like crates.
Zeke
is a very happy dog; his little tail is always wagging. He is generally quiet
and calm, although he excitedly races around at mealtimes - so funny! Zeke is
good with our dog although he isn’t playful; he seems to enjoy doggie
companionship but would be happy being an only dog (more pettings!). He does
warn off strange dogs when they get too close, so he is not a dog-park sort of
dog. It is unknown how he would be with cats, but I would guess fine, as he has
no detectable prey drive. We also
don’t know how he would be around children, but he does let adults handle him
all over without complaint and rolls belly-up, tail wagging when people reach
down to pick him up.
Zeke is house-trained, walks beautifully on leash, likes riding in the car, and listens well to correction. At 7 years old, Zeke is strong, sturdy and really at his prime, perfect for those wanting a loving, low-maintenance companion. His family had to give him up because of foreclosure, and he grieved for them, but is recovering nicely and ready to meet YOU! Will you give him the forever home he deserves?

Reunited with Lost Owners!

Name:
Kayley
Age: 8 years
Color: Black & Tan
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Female/Spayed
Size: Mini – 10 lbs.
We don’t
understand how Kayley came to be labeled a “stray” at the shelter—she is
completely blind! How many blind
“stray” doxies do you know? We
don’t know any. It’s more likely that Kayley’s people took her to the
shelter and said she was a stray so they wouldn’t look like bad guys for
dumping her in a strange, loud, scary place. Shame on them. But their loss is
our gain: Kayley is as adorable and sweet as they come, with a funny, feisty
personality. A happy little princess, she adores people and gives millions of
sweet kisses. She wants nothing more than find someone who will love her and
care for her the rest of her life.
Kayley might
be 100% blind, but she gets around like a sighted dog, seldom bumping into
anything, quickly learning the layout of her environment and walking in a
straight line. Her foster dad is unconvinced she’s blind, that’s how well
she gets around. Kayley is one smart girl. She’s even learning how to use the
steps up to the couch. She seems to be totally house trained, and although the
doggie door is a little scary to her right now, she’ll have it mastered in no
time. Believe it or not, Kayley loves to go for walks! Snap on her leash and
she's up for it, enjoying sniffing the smells and greeting all the new dogs and
people she encounters. What a little treasure she is!
Kayley is a
talker; when she wants to find her people, she’ll bark until they make a noise
to let her know where they are. We’re teaching her how to wait in a crate
while her people are out and about, but she really needs to live with someone
who is home much of the time. She also insists on sleeping in the big bed,
burrowed under the covers. She gets along well with other dogs, but isn’t
dependent on them. She’s a people dog and enjoys following her person around
all day and curling up for a nap right next to their feet—or on their lap!
She’s fine with cats, and she would be okay with gentle, respectful kids older
than eight years old.
Spayed,
vaccinated and microchipped, Kayley is ready for her forever home. If you can
provide a good home for Kayley, please contact Tamar at tamar@crankyeditor.com.
An adoption application is
required.
On April 16, 2009, we received a phone call from a couple in Riverside CA identifying Kayley as their lost doxie girl, Trixie. Subsequent phone calls were made and ownership was verified. Kayley/Trixie was formally reunited with her family. She was apparently taken from their yard and dumped in a Los Angeles shelter over 50 miles away. Everyone was delighted to see Kayley/Trixie have a happy ending to her story.

Name: Baxter
Age: 8 Years
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Mini – 8 lbs.
Baxter
is the cutest thing on four legs. Just look at him sitting pretty! We think his
white paws, face and “scarf” are just adorable. We don’t know why he was
left at the shelter, but we suspect his former owners couldn’t afford to take
care of his dental needs. Boy, were his teeth stinky! We sent him to the doggie
dentist right away, and now his kisses are sweet as can be.
We
think Baxter is just about perfect. He loves meeting new people and greets
everyone he meets with a wagging tail and lots of kisses. He’s ready for any
adventure, whether it’s a ride in the car or a walk around the neighborhood.
He really enjoys life. He loves to explore the yard and sunbathe, and although
he doesn’t play with toys or other dogs, he’s frisky and silly.
Because
he was abandoned in the shelter, he bonds quickly and deeply with the person(s)
giving him love—his motto is, “If you can’t be with the one you love, love
the one you’re with.” As a result, he hates being separated from his person
and will become anxious and upset if left alone. He needs to be with someone who
is home most of the time, ideally a retired person or couple who will adore him
and give him the attention he so desperately needs. He must sleep in the big bed
at night, and he doesn’t do well being crated. He would be fine with older
children or grandchildren. He could be an only dog or have a doxie companion;
all he cares about is being near his person. Best of all, he is perfectly
housetrained and will go out the doggie door to do his business in the yard
every time. We think Baxter is a great little doxie who will bring years of joy
to anyone who adopts him.
Neutered,
vaccinated and microchipped, Baxter is ready for his forever home. If you would
like to meet Baxter, please email Tamar at
tamar@crankyeditor.com. An adoption
application is required.
The
adoption fee for Baxter is $150.00.

Age: 3 Years
Color: Chocolate & Tan
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Mini – 9 lbs.
A little diva,
Jordan MUST sleep in the bed with his person, snuggled under the covers. He
thinks baby gates are for sissies and will jump over one whenever he chooses.
He’s not trying to escape, but to get to the big bed, so he can curl up for a
nice nap. He loves to go for walks and rides in the car, and although he enjoys
sunbathing and exploring the backyard, he would be fine in a condo or apartment,
as long as he gets to go for walks on a regular basis. He is very devoted to his
person and will follow him or her around all day, so

Age: 5 years

Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Tweenie – 14 lbs.
When we rescued Albert from the
So he went home with us, and within a short time, with lots of TLC,
medication, physical therapy, combined with a weight reducing diet, Albert was
up and walking again Albert not only
walks quite well, he runs. He runs
out the dog-door, and down the ramp to his favorite potty spot in the back yard.
He has not only lost all the extra weight, he has regained use of his
legs, and has full bladder and bowel control again.
He is 100% house trained. Not
many dachshunds in any condition can claim this attribute.
An
extremely handsome boy, Albert is very loving and affectionate. He gets along
well with other dogs, but he can be a little bossy. He would do best in a quiet
home with a retired person or someone who works part time or from home.
Please, no young children for Albert.
It is not that he is not safe with children, but that they could
re-injure him accidentally. He would
also very much enjoy having a mellow female dachshund for companionship.
He would not do well in an apartment or as an “only dog” unless
someone is home much of the time.
Albert
needs a home that is all on one level with no stairs and just a step or two that
can be easily ramped to make it easy for him to navigate in and out the door.
He cannot do stairs at all.
Albert’s
vaccines are up-to-date and he has recently had a full dental cleaning. In
our opinion, he is a treasure. If you are interested in Albert, please contact Dena via email
or
call (562) 694-6868.

adoption application is required.

After 4 years,
Woody’s elderly owner dumped him at a
Woody
is a fabulous doxie. He has a classic dachshund face which will take your breath
away. He is reliably house trained,
crate trained, and a good eater. Well,
maybe too good of an eater. It was
obvious to us that he had been fed from the table as he refused to eat kibble
even when mixed with rice and chicken. But
after missing a couple of meals, he realized that resistance was futile.
He now eats what is in his bowl, though with some reluctance, but he
leaves it clean and shiny. Woody is
overweight, but he has already lost two pounds and has five more to go.
Woody should weigh about 20 pounds ideally. Applicants must be
willing to continue Woody's diet and exercise program.
Woody
loves to go for leisurely walks and enjoys the socialization of all the other
dachshunds in his foster home. He
would especially like a home with a little girl dachshund to have fun with.
He also prefers a quiet home without loud music and the chaos of kids
running in and out. He is fine with visiting
grandchildren over 5 years old. He totally ignores the cats in his new
foster home. He prefers adults and children who are gentle and soft-spoken. He
has a kind and gentle soul.
Woody
is current on his vaccines, microchipped, has had a dental cleaning, and is now
very healthy. If you can provide a good home for Woody, please
contact Dena via

Name: Princess
Age: 6 years
Color: Black and Tan
Coat: Longhair
Sex: Female/Spayed
Size: Mini –9.5 lbs.
Princess was relinquished by her
original owners, because their two pre-teen sons would tease Princess, often
bordering on abuse. The boys made
Princess behave in a very defensive manner.
So their parents wisely turned Princess over to Rescue to find a more
suitable and less stressful environment for her.
Princess is the
beautiful Mona Lisa of dachshunds. She
even has burgundy, salon-like, highlights on her ears.
She is sweet, affectionate, and well behaved.
She is house trained and has learned the dog door.
She’s had very few potty accidents in her foster home.
She is also a happy, cute, wiggly girl who rolls on her back and wiggles
around for belly rubs. She is
petite, playful and frisky. She
LOVES to play with her toys, especially her "baby".
In her quieter
moments, Princess loves to be cuddled and is the consummate lap dog.
She also shamelessly flirts with her foster mom’s boyfriend.
She enjoys getting a bath and being brushed.
She loves going for walks, but needs to learn to focus on her walk not
other dogs/people. Her foster mom is
working very hard on this with her. She
can be “territorial” when in the car, protecting her human from anyone who
may approach the vehicle. She should
ride in a travel kennel until this behavior can be modified.
The same holds true if workmen or new people come into the home.
She will need to be on a leash until introductions are made and she
settles down.
She gets along well with other
dachshunds, but she can be jealous and is learning to share people-affection
with other dogs. She would be very
happy to be a spoiled “only dog”. Her
foster mom has taught her to be tolerant of cats, and Princess has even been
caught napping with the kitty. She
likes to snuggle under the covers in the big bed with her person.
Princess is the perfect companion for a retired person or someone who
works from home who seeks the love and devotion this little dog is so willing to
give. Previous experience with a
longhaired dachshund would be a plus, but not essential.
She would be fine with visiting, gentle older grandchildren.
No babies, toddlers, or kids under 16 years old.
She’s really had enough of those for a lifetime.
Princess is
healthy and current on all vaccines. If
you are interested in Princess, please contact Dena at email
or
call (562) 694-6868.
An adoption application
is required.
The adoption fee for Princess is $175.00.

Chula |
Chulo and Chula are littermates.
Their names mean “handsome” and “pretty”.
We rescued them from the
These are very sweet, mischievous doxies.
Each one is a joy to hold and cuddle.
They give wonderful kisses. They are crate trained, and their house
training is about 90%. Given access
to outside with a dog door, these two adorable doxies will go outside to potty
most of the time. They need a family
willing to continue to take them outside on a schedule so they don’t
backslide. They need a home with a
back yard. They are not
apartment/condo dogs.
Applicants must have previous dachshund experience and be willing to
adopt both of these littermates together. They
are not good prospects to be left alone all day.
Actually, they can be escape artists and require a very secure home and
yard. Chula can dig under a stockade
or chain-link fence easily. Chulo
thinks baby-gates are for sissies and can climb one in nothing flat.
They cannot be left to their own devices very long unless you know for
certain there is no way they can get out into the street.
They are safe with children over 8 years old. We don’t know if they are safe with cats, but most cats are bigger than they are anyway. They both have had dental cleaning, been fully vaccinated, and have been microchipped.
Do you have room in your heart and home for both of these sweet babies? If you can give Chulo and Chula an excellent home, please contact Dawn at tbirdsc@pacbell.net. They are a bonded pair and we will not separate them. An adoption application is required.
The adoption fee for Chulo and Chula is $300.00 for both.

Name:
Murphy
Age: 5 years
Color: Black and Tan
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Mini – 11 lbs.
Murphy was relinquished to a large-breed rescue group by someone who found him running in the street, almost getting himself hit by a car. Efforts to locate his owners failed, so the other rescue group turned Murphy over to Dachshund Rescue to find him just the right home.
Murphy is very healthy and his vaccines are up-to-date. He has had a dental cleaning and was also microchipped. He is extremely social and really enjoys the company of female doxies. He is well behaved and keeps his nose in his own dish at mealtimes.
Murphy is crate trained, house trained, and knows the dog door. He has occasional accidents, mostly when a new male member joins the pack in his foster home. Once the new dog settles in, Murphy returns to his good potty habits. He is not an apartment dog. He needs a dog door and access to a fenced yard. The back yard fences must be secure and at least 4-5 ft. tall. He likes going for brisk walks and car rides. We don’t think he is cat-safe as he seems to have a strong prey-drive. He is fine with children over 5 years old, no babies or toddlers.
If
you can provide a good home for Murphy, please
contact Dena via
email
or
call (562) 694-6868. An adoption
application is required.
The adoption fee for Murphy is $200.00.

for Flash and Daisy Mae.
Flash
and Daisy Mae are victims of the economic melt-down in
Daisy Mae loves
her stuffed animals to play with, and insists on sitting on your lap at every
opportunity. Flash is also very
sweet, but has no interest in toys at this time. He loves to snoop in the yard
and eagerly awaits his turn for pets, love and kisses. They
are very well socialized and make new friends easily.
They are both
larger dogs, each weighing about 20 pounds. They have a hearty appetite, take
their treats very gently, play nicely with the other foster dogs, are very
loyal, and love to groom each other as well as the other foster dogs. They
are crate trained, reliably house trained, and dog-door savvy.
They walk well on a leash and are very good on car rides.
We are looking
for a mature family with older children (over 12 years old). These two doxies
have had enough babies and little kids to last a lifetime.
Working families are fine as Flash and Daisy Mae can keep each other
company while the family is out and about.
Flash and Daisy Mae are very healthy. Their vaccines are up-to-date and they have been microchipped. If you can provide a loving home for Flash and Daisy Mae, please contact Dawn at tbirdsc@pacbell.net. An adoption application is required.
The adoption
fee for Flash and Daisy Mae is $350.00 for both.
