Story
Kona is a handsome 11 year old senior boy looking for his forever home.   He does a happy dance when you come home.  Loves attention, and will follow you from room to room. Kona enjoys his daily walks.  A very healthy eater, so he's on a diet to lose some, and get down to 20 pounds. He's had a dental, and up to date on all his vaccinations. He is territorial about his doggy bed, food and toys so he'd do best as the only dog in the home. If you are interested in adopting Kona, please go to our website:  www.dachshundrescueoflosangeles and complete an adoption application to be approved.  June 1, 2023, 6:44 pm

Story
From experience, Brimsley needs to be in a one person home.  Other dogs are okay.   This is the youngest 12 year old senior you will ever meet.  He loves to play with his foster brother, with his squeaky toys and go for walks. He likes spending time with me, but Tbone (his foster Dachshund brother) is a close second.   Pros: House broken Knew instantly how to use a doggie door and uses it to go outside and hang out Very good walking on a leash Does not get on furniture sleeps in his crate Sweet and adorable!     Cons: is fine if I leave and Tbone is home, but if I am walking Tbone, Brimsley will sit by the door and cry., Not much of a barker, but if he hears it on TV and/or sees the dog next door he will bark.   Watch when you walk, he is always very close! He does not like larger dogs. Brimsley needs a home with a yard that he can explore.   Needs a calm, quiet environment.  Right now he is with his female foster, and one other Dachshund.  Brimsley just wants a stress free place to enjoy his senior years. If you are interested in adopting Brimsley, please fill out an adoption application at our website:  www.dachshundrescueoflosangeles.com You will need to travel to Las Vegas to pick him up if approved.June 1, 2023, 6:44 pm

Story
Guy is a sweet-natured, shy gentleman who has had quite the journey through life. He loves to be outside in  the sun, go on walks and be a part of the group.    He is 10 years old, about 16 pounds.  Guy has learned how to take rides in the car in his own  car seat and walk on a leash using a harness. He is good with other small dogs, unsure of cats and small children.   With his 2 remaining teeth he has no problem eating his meals and accepting treats. Guy understands the commands, “Sit”, “Come” and “Sit up”. He is potty-trained, but needs a reminder and some coaxing to go out on cold days. Guy was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, a common condition that is treatable with daily medication. Since treated, he has lost significant weight and regained quality of life! He is not crate trained but, is used to sleeping in his own bed where he feels secure.    The perfect forever home for Guy would involve a home with a fenced backyard, few stairs (or use of ramp) and alone time no longer than 2-3 hours. Guy struggles with separation anxiety from “his human”.   He has transitioned between various homes throughout his life and needs extra assurance he is safe and secure. Guy will bark when he feels scared, nervous pees and cowers. He thrives in a consistent daily schedule that includes, set meal times, exercise and socialization.   He has little experience around small kids and cats but, has never shown any signs of aggression. Guy would fit best in a family with no children and has experience with older dachshunds. Once he feels secure he is a very loving dog who could make a wonderful companion.    If you are interested in adopting Guy, please go to our website and complete an adoption application.  www.dachshundrescueoflosangeles.com June 1, 2023, 6:44 pm

Story
Sweet pea is the sweetest 9-10 year old corgi mix.  She's super sweet, but she needs to be the only dog or the only small dog.  She loves to right at your side and with you at all times.  She enjoys going for walks or playing at the dog park. She's so incredibly amazing! She does need someone who is home most of the time  that can work with her on her barking and food aggression issues.June 1, 2023, 6:44 pm
