Story
Hey, if you are looking for a happy and playful companion, look no more! Snoop Doggy is a young "chiweenie" with an emphasis on the doxie behavior and the chihuahua appearance. What a terrific combo! He likes to play and run, and he knows about using a doggy door to run into his fenced backyard. He is very loved but is higher on the action and energy scale than his owner can comfortably handle. Snoop Doggy will do great with a human that enjoys walks so he can go along, and he is fine with dogs his size. He would do best with an experienced adopter and obedience training would give the best results for this very smart guy with lots of energy. Focused activities and a routine is what he does best with. Snoop has run out an open door in the past, so a secure enclosure and being on a leash at all times outside of the enclosure is a must, He can be vocal, so a home without shared walls would be better. He is a little chubby at 14# but focused exercise and a portion-controlled diet will help get him to the right weight. Older kids would be great with the emphasis on training and structured play. Children and pets should be supervised by a responsible adult at all times. Snoop Doggy is neutered and microchipped, he is UTD on vaccines and heartworm and flea prevention. His adoption fee is $300.

Story
Shotske came to us after his owner died with another dog. He is almost 11 years old and a long haired dachshund. Shotske is incredibly sweet, and really enjoys long strolls outside and treats. New situations and new people make him a bit nervous, but he’s still sweet and gentle, even when unsure - he will just retreat. When shotske arrived here, he was over 25lbs and experiencing some back leg/end paralysis which isn’t uncommon with aging dachshunds, especially if obese. He is now a healthy weight, runs and leaps, moderately active, and not on any medications. A new family will have to make sure his diet is strict, because he loves food and treats but needs to be normal sized to stay healthy. Shotske came to us with Pansy and can be adopted separately, but then would prefer another small dog his size that is in need of social connectedness, or to be the only dog in a home where he could be the center of attention. He is housebroken, and will go outside, but his previous owner used potty pads in the house, so if you don’t make him go outside, he won’t. He requires regular grooming and absolutely NO cats.

Story
Banjo is delightful! He is approximately 10 years old, and our best guess is he is Dachshund mixed with something bigger (his shape looks Doxie, but he's about 40 lb.). He is a mellow dude who just likes to hang out with his people. He's fine with kids and other dogs, but he's also fine solo. He is very polite and housetrained. Banjo is hypothyroid so will require lifelong medication for that. He also has some lipomas (benign squishy spots) that we are just monitoring unless they become problematic for him. He is the sweetest, friendly little guy! He will make someone an amazing companion.    Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label. Each dog in our rescue is in a loving foster home, where they can grow, play, and recover from their time spent on the streets or in a shelter. If you'd like to meet an adoptable dog, please fill out an application on our website, www.edcr.org. Because we are a foster home based rescue a completed adoption application is required to meet our adoptable dogs. September 25, 2023, 2:32 pm
