Story
This little pretty chocolate dappled girl is called Maizie and goodness what a cracker jack she is.  Don’t for minute let those green eyes and chocolate marbled coat fool you to think she is gentle or easy.  She is the CEO of dogs and will run the show at your house if given the chance.  Maizie is 30 pounds and 9 months old.  She is a breed mix of Dachshund and Basset Hound we are told.  Her pics make her look big but she is a “tiny but mighty” little girl.  Mazie is not a fan of any other female dogs in her life or around her.  We don’t know where that came from but the dislike is there so we say…don’t ignore the warning.  She is great with big male dogs, not good with other small dogs or cats, but loves people deeply and wants to be around them.  She needs a fenced yard because she is a runner as most Dachshunds can be and she needs to be able to run and play and get her energy out daily.  Older children would be better for her and she is crate trained, 90% housebroken and she adores going for walks; a very good girl on a leash we can say.  She is beautiful but a “tad” bit complicated, which is why we have outlined the Likes and Dislikes of this girl to a TEE!  We want the right and perfect home and there are lots out there that can give her that.  Tiny but Mighty little Maizie is ready for a home NOW!  Please email us at Critter Cavalry Rescue : ccrnewengland@gmail.com  Tell us where you live when you email asking for information and an application. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.January 22, 2025, 9:20 pm

Story
Our handsome, shy boy is such a miracle to even think about being alive here today.   Archie seems to be a Dachshund/Terrier mix that was found huddled under a car in the icy cold rain and shivering violently with every inch of his body.  He was terrified and we did not know how he got there.  A kind and patient person slowly gained his trust and the ability to pull him out from under the car and bring him inside a home to warm and be fed.  He has been in a foster home ever since and has slowly come to trust and accept the kindness of people.  He is about 5 months old and weighs a light 20 pounds.  He will most probably be a 35 pound boy when fully grown as an adult.   He has the most adorable little body with short legs and head that remind us of Dachshund traits.  He is a tender spirit that is blossoming every day with more reassurance from his wonderful human fosters.  Archie will be an appreciative boy that will love you with all he has as he grows to know that you are not leaving him and his forever.  We love Archie and know that there is someone out there who will give him daily walks that will bring out his personality through the work of accomplishing something like a good walk with his human.  He is housebroken and he is good with other dogs and cats.   He is a dog who is being molded into a sweet companion and a dog who will be one of the more memorable pets you have ever loved and owned. Archie will be a loving project that will show you just what your dedication and love can do in a dog’s life.  We can help guide you along that path of nurturing and confidence building.  We have training consultation if needed via phone.  Our support is always there for our dogs and their needs when adopted or fostered. If you are interested in this darling dog please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com     Mention where you live when you send an email please. 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.comFebruary 10, 2025, 12:36 am

Ollie is a playful 2.5-year-old dachshund (11 pounds) is perfect for apartment or house living! Ollie loves adventures - from hiking and beach days to chasing soccer balls. He's house trained, crate-trained, and comes from AKC's top breeders, reducing genetic health risks. Ollie's a chatty fellow who keeps his humans informed about neighborhood happenings! He needs a patient friend who can help manage his vocal nature and build his confidence around other dogs. The ideal home would provide: - Regular exercise and mental stimulation - Lots of love and cuddles - Consistent routine with play and rest - Patient training guidance Ollie would thrive as an only dog for now, but he's great with kids! He needs an active person or family ready to help him settle into his forever home. (Note: Neutering recommended to help with confidence around male dogs.)

Sweet, trusting, and downright adorable, Moxie is a puppy who loves to be held and cuddled as much as she loves to explore the world with her nose to the ground.

She is still a baby at 5 months and 25 pounds.  She needs an adopter who will work with her on training, but she is eager to please so that shouldn't be hard.  Good with people and dogs and cats!  Moxie is ready to bring joy into your home.  Apply today - this girl will go fast!

Story
Please contact Nancy Anderson (nancya@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet elongated girl seeking fresh start and love! RISE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Rise      Best Guess for Breed: Dachshund and terrier mix Best Guess for Age: 5 years as of December 2024       Gender:   Female Approximate Weight:   23 lbs Gets Along With: Rise does well with other dogs and needs to go to a home with a friendly resident dog. We haven't seen her with cats but she can be tested if you have them. We would be cautious placing Rise in a home with children under 12 years old because young kids can often scare shy dogs with their level of energy or noise.  Children would need to be supervised closely to not leave doors open and should never walk the dog without an adult holding the leash.  We would be happy to discuss this more in depth with any applicant. Currently Living At: Will be at Lucky Dog's South Carolina rescue campus for heartworm treatment before heading to the DC area Special Adoption Considerations: Rise is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky! This pup is part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs.  All dogs in the study are placed at random in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, the pups are eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care.  After treatment concludes, we work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test after 6 months, followed by a second test at 9 months.  We are happy to discuss this treatment and which phase of the study this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left! Additionally, Rise was rescued off the streets of Puerto Rico and hasn't seen enough of the world yet. She is shy and needs go to a home with a friendly, welcoming dog. Rise is Looking For: Her forever family! She was very relieved to be rescued off the streets in Puerto Rico and now just wants her very own home. But she needs extra patient and loving adopters who understand she hasn't seen enough of the world, and many things are scary. She needs new experiences in new places at her pace. A welcoming resident dog will show her how to dog, and training will help her build her braves as well! And in exchange, she promises all the love in her little body, all the adoring gazes and kisses she's stockpiling in the shelter, and loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say? Can you see her trotting along on her little legs by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once she has arrived in the DC area and spent some time with her foster Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.  If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.  Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life!

Name:  Moonshine        Best Guess for Breed:   Dachshund / Hound mix    Best Guess for Age:    2 years as if 01/24/2025     Gender:  male Approximate Weight:   13 lbs.  Gets Along With: with other dogs; Moonshine hasn't been observed with kids or cats but we can test. Currently Living At: the shelter, Moonshine needs a foster and a forever home. Special Adoption Considerations: Moonshine is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky!

Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left! Moonshine is Looking For: his very own family! At two years old, Moonshine’s still quite energetic and playful, enjoying games of fetch, tug-of-war, and exploring his surroundings. He has a curious nature, often poking his nose into everything to investigate new scents and objects. Dachshunds love to burrow under the covers and climb into baskets full of laundry. Don't let Moonshine's short legs fool you. Dachshunds are active and need regular exercise to stay healthy and happy. Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation are essential to keep him engaged and content. Socialization with different people, dogs, and environments will help Moonshine grow into a well-rounded and confident adult dog. Dachshunds can be quite vocal, using their barks to communicate excitement, alertness, or the presence of something interesting. For people living in apartments we can talk more about ways to address excessive barking. Positive reinforcement, consistency, and patience are key in training any dog. What My Foster Says About Me: We will update as soon as Moonshine arrives and spends some time with a foster.
