Dachshund puppies and dogs in Connecticut

Sunny is a sweet, 12-pound, 2-year-old Chihuahua/Poodle mix who had a rough start in life. She came to Good Catch Dog Rescue with three little "suns" of her own—Ray, Cyrus, and Leo—after likely being abandoned on the side of the road in a crate with her babies. Despite those difficult circumstances, Sunny's resilience shone through. She proved to be a devoted mother and quickly learned what it means to be a cherished member of a loving, multi-dog family. This clever girl has a delightfully inquisitive personality. When she isn't exploring the neighborhood or rearranging her toys into new and interesting configurations, much to the amusement of her foster family, Sunny enjoys being brushed and doted on. Her curious nature means she'll need a securely fenced yard if her new home has outdoor space, as she's always eager to investigate the world around her. She also walks beautifully on a leash, making her an excellent companion for daily strolls and outdoor adventures. Afterward, she's happiest curled up at the feet of her favorite person for a long, contented nap. Sunny is a true velcro dog who loves being close to her people. She happily follows her humans from room to room and thrives on companionship and routine. Because of her strong bond with her family, extended periods alone can make her anxious. She is looking for a patient adopter who is home more often than not and willing to help continue building her confidence. While Sunny isn't much of a barker, she has her own unique way of communicating. She'll let you know when she needs reassurance with adorable dolphin-like whines and requests for chest rubs. Her gentle, affectionate nature makes her an incredibly rewarding companion for someone looking for a devoted little shadow. Sunny has done well with children and enjoys being part of family life. She would be happy as an only dog soaking up all the attention, but she would also do well with another confident, friendly canine companion. Sunny has shown little interest in cats and has peacefully coexisted around them in foster care. Sunny is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, on flea and tick prevention, and has received a 12-month ProHeart injection for heartworm prevention. For out-of-state adopters, Sunny can travel safely with one of our trusted transport partners, Freedom Run Express or Tigger's Texas Transport. We adopt to multiple states to help each dog find the perfect forever home. Sunny has spent her life taking care of others. Now it's her turn to find a family that will give her the love, security, and companionship she deserves.

If your dream dog is less “nonstop chaos tornado energy” and more “tiny little shadow best friend that just wants to vibe beside you while looking ridiculously cute,” then Vinny Benny might honestly be your perfect match. This boy has the sweetest calm little presence about him that immediately makes people feel comfortable around him. Between the giant brown puppy dog eyes, the adorable low-rider body, and the way he quietly follows you around wanting nothing more than love and quality time, Vinny has this soft comforting energy that is SO easy to fall for. He’s not loud, demanding, or over-the-top dramatic. He’s just a really sweet mellow little dude that wants to be loved and included in everyday life. Honestly, he feels like the type of dog that would become your emotional support sidekick without even trying LOL. Watch his video and fall in love with this cutie: https://youtu.be/F52LGnloitI?si=8SA-sjoRk9tz3zOH Vinny Benny is believed to be a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix approximately 3 years old and currently weighs 25 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it’s always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. What we CAN guarantee is that this little guy has mastered the art of looking at people with those giant soulful eyes like he’s known you his entire life. He is the PERFECT lap dog size too. Big enough to feel sturdy and substantial but still compact enough to scoop up for cuddles and couch snuggles. Vinny can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but honestly it takes all of about five minutes before his affectionate side starts coming out LOL. He’s not one of those dogs that instantly launches himself at strangers demanding attention right away. He likes a second to observe, process, and make sure everyone is cool first. But once he warms up? Oh he LOVES you. Like deeply devoted little shadow dog vibes. He becomes incredibly affectionate, wants to stay close to his people, and has this really gentle loving way about him that feels incredibly genuine and comforting. With other dogs, Vinny has been very easygoing and chill from everything we’ve observed so far. He’s friendly, respectful, and not bothered by other dogs at all, but he’s also not really the “hey, let’s play and wrestle” type either. He’s much more of a coexist, lounge nearby, and quietly hangout type of guy. Honestly, Vinny seems perfectly content just existing peacefully around other dogs while still preferring the company of his humans overall. If you already have another mellow easygoing dog in the home, we think he would fit in just fine. But if you don’t? Vinny would also be completely happy soaking up all the love and attention as your one-and-only little companion. Vinny also met our house cat Biggie and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. He did not chase Biggie, nor was he bothered by Biggie jumping or doing what cats do. Biggie also seemed to be comfortable around him as well. We do not know if he has ever lived in a home before with a cat and this was our first time seeing him with a cat. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for Vinny to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know! Vinny is crate trained, potty trained, walks nicely on leash, and absolutely loves treats. Food is definitely one of the quicker ways to this little man’s heart LOL. The best part though? He takes treats SO gently and politely. He has really nice manners overall and just carries himself like a tiny little gentleman. He’s the type of dog that would be happiest in a calmer home environment where he can settle into a routine, spend quality time with his people, and enjoy all the cozy simple things in life. If you’ve been searching for that calm affectionate companion that just quietly makes life feel better by existing beside you, Vinny might honestly be your guy. He doesn’t need to be the loudest dog in the room to completely steal your heart. One look into those giant brown eyes and it’s pretty much game over LOL. We are willing to test Vinny Benny with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

  This adorable Wire-haired Dachshund is 5 years old and has the cutest whiskers and eyebrows ever going.  He is a calm and easy going 24 pounds boy that could stand to go on a reasonable diet and lots of daily walks during the week to slim down to a great weight for his long Dachshund body.  This boy is named Grins and he just lost his home because his senior mom entered a nursing home on Wednesday 5/27.  All that he needs in life right now is a new family/owner who will love getting up every morning to see his sweet happy face and to take him several times a day on a good walking/exercise program to trim down his extra pounds and get him to a good 20 pound body weight.  Less pounds means more good life for a Dachshund and Grins is at his prime time to change his food intake to higher quality.  He really needs to get out and see the world from the end of a leash!   His former mom has been bedridden for over 3 years and he has not been taken on walks in all the time. Now Critter Cavalry Rescue is taking him in to their foster program.  Grins might do best as the only dog in his new home.  He has a tendency to be bossy with other dogs sometimes.  It could be managed if he has a strong owner who knows how to be the boss in the house and not let Grins run the show.  He is in a foster now that has cats and he does great with them!.He is housebroken and knows what a pee pad is just in case you need that extra time away.  He is crate trained and does so well on a leash too!   Snickers is resilient, happy to go wherever  you take him and is adjusting to all the new sights, sounds and people in his life.  We would love a Dachshund lover who is experienced with the breed to give Grins a soft bed and a big heart filled with love as his next forever place.  If you are interested, please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com    When inquiring please tell us where you live!!!        PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comJune 5, 2026, 11:16 am

Now Critter Cavalry Rescue is taking him in to their foster program and he is around other dogs, children who love him to pieces and a foster dad who walks him 3 times a day.  This boy will be the Tarzan of dog with a sleep and active body in no time.  He is housebroken and knows what a pee pad is just in case you need that extra time away.  He is crate trained and does so well on a leash too!   Snickers is resilient, happy to go wherever  you take him and is adjusting to all the new sights, sounds and people in his life.  He is curious about cats but won't chase.  He could be the only dog or live easily with another.

This adorable dachshund/terrier mix is searching for a forever family after being recently returned through absolutely no fault of his own. His previous family loved him deeply, but with the kids heading off to college and long work hours leaving little time at home, they made the difficult decision to help Zeus find a family who could give him the attention he deserves. Zeus is friendly, playful, affectionate, and wonderfully social. He absolutely loves playing with other dogs and has even done great around cats - his previous owner said he liked to play with them. He’s already fully vetted and ready to go home today — neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines, 4DX negative, protected with ProHeart 12, and on Bravecto for flea and tick prevention. Zeus has already known what it feels like to be loved, and now he’s hoping for a forever home where he can be part of the family for good. His adoption fee is $300. This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225   . We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hiya! My name is Scooby, and I’m basically a professional happy boy. I’m a Dachshund/Chi mix with a big personality packed into a little body. My previous owner had too many dogs for the city limit, so me and some of my buddies had to find new homes. The good news? I’m ready to make someone VERY lucky!  When I first arrived I was infested with fleas, and also had a injury to my face. Suspected from a dog bite, but I've got amazing people and vet staff taking care of me with antibiotics and xrays to make sure I'm all ready for my new family.  I love people so much that I sometimes bounce up out of excitement when I meet you. I just can’t help it! I’m all about kisses, tail wags, and making new friends. I also LOVE other dogs and have a blast playing with them and sharing my toys. Toys are kind of my thing, honestly. I’m not sure about this “potty training” business yet, but I’m a smart little guy and eager to please. I’m already neutered, 4DX negative, current on vaccines, and protected with ProHeart 12 and Bravecto — so I’m all set and ready to go! My adoption fee is $400. If you think we might be a good match, you can apply for me at www.adoggie4you.org I’m currently in Texas, but I can travel to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, and along the East Coast. If I need a ride, there’s an additional $225 transport fee.
