My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

COURTESY LISTING for MAX and HUNNY. These dogs are not at Oregon Dachshund Rescue. For information please contact Melanie:: 541.240.1496, or email tarterm.lsgurology@gmail.com.

Owners recently moved into nursing home and granddaughter taking care of dogs but landlord has set deadline that they must be out.

Max is the red dachshund and Hunnie is the black. They are both around the same age 6-7. Max was actually a rescue dog my grandparents got so Hunnie would have company. He was rescued from a VERY abusive and neglectful home. After being with my grandparents for nearly 4 1/2 yrs he still will get scared and "yelp" like he's being beat if he gets scared. I'm sure he was starved by his previous owners just by the way he eats and how tremendously skinny he was when they got him!! His and Hunnie's favorite place during the day was on the lap of my grandmother while she watched TV. Hunnie they have had since a puppy. She had an incident about two yrs ago where she injured her back and we weren't sure she was going to make it through....she did though after being sent to a person who rehabilitated her for about two months. She lost weight and exercise and meds and was back to her playful self!!! However she has gained a tremendous amount of weight in the last 6 months which must be worked on to keep her back from going out again. Another development within the last 4 months, is that she has went blind.
Max and Hunnie were on a schedule while with my grandparents. After being let out for potty break, they went to bed between 9-9:30 pm every night, in which they were crated. It got to the point where the dogs would come to them ready for bed!! It was cute to watch! They have been crated at nighttime and let out in the morning, usually between 6-7 am, in which they were ready to go out and go potty right away. After coming in they are fed and given a treat. From then on through the day they sat with my grandma until it was time for dinner, around 5-6 pm. They would eat at the same time as my grandparents...and of course they got a treat at dinner time too. They rely on each other now. Max actually guides Hunnie around at times. It is very cute to watch. They love to be cuddled and need a home where people are going to be able to give them time and attention. I am DESPERATELY hoping you can help me out with this!!!
If you could please either respond via email or telephone to let me know if this is something you could help with I would greatly appreciate it. Right now they are at my home and my landlord has given me a time limit of Wed to find a place for them. I have also attached a picture so you can see what they look like, what adorable sweeties they are!!
