Bruce's Story...
This boy is the most adorable, affectionate, loyal boy you will ever have the pleasure of knowing. He came from Alabama. His family could not afford to feed him or his momma (who is a pure-breed black and tan dachshund) any longer. Both dogs were surrendered to a shelter. Unfortunately, the kill rate is high and Midwest Dachshund Rescue pulled both of these dogs. Because we are an all breed rescue, MWDR asked us to take in Bruce. We are so grateful to them for making this save and allowing us to fall head over feet for this boy. He is truly incredible!! If you are interested in adopting this fellow, please go to www.digsk9.org to complete an application. We are working on house training and so far so good!!

Rescue Group Info...

About Our Rescue Group...
We are a group of volunteers dedicated to rescuing and providing sanctuary to abandoned, stray and neglected dogs. We are not a shelter as all of our rescued dogs live in foster homes where they are given enourmous amounts of love and attention while they await their forever home. Many animals are overlooked or forgotten and our goal is to give them a second chance on life and home to be loved in.
Our Adoption Process...
Our adoption process is quite simple. We ask that you complete an application on our website DigsK9.org. We are a foster based organization so special arrangements can be made for you to meet the animal you are applying for. After review of your application we will follow up with either a phone interview or a home visit. If everyone agrees that this would be a successful adoption than we make plans to finalize it.
We Serve the Following Cities, Towns, and/or Counties...
We are based in the Chicago-land area but are happy to accept applications from all states.

Why Adoption is a Great Option

Bruce, a Joliet Dachshund/Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Dachshund/Chihuahua for sale in Joliet, or seeking a Dachshund/Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Joliet.

  1. Rescues and shelter volunteers in Joliet already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
  2. On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Joliet breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
  3. You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Dachshund/Chihuahua breeders who help with Dachshund/Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Joliet paves the way for another one to be saved.
