Rusty is a 15 yo/8 lb mini dachshund mix with a gentle soul and a heart made entirely for cuddles.  Though he is blind, Rusty experiences the world through sound, touch & the comfort of being close to his people. His favorite place is in your arms — that’s where he feels safest and happiest This precious senior has been through so much, yet he remains incredibly sweet, affectionate + trusting. He does great in his foster home, has made friends with the other dogs and thrives in a chill & loving environment! True to his doxie nature, Rusty is deeply bonded to his humans and will happily let you know when he needs a little extra reassurance—especially with his nighttime cuddles. They are his favorite!

Story
I’m Loo-Loo, a 3-year-old, 32-pound Dachshund/Terrier/Basset mix. I’m active and enjoy sniffing around the yard and on walks, but I can also be mellow and will curl up for a nap on a soft bed. I get along well with other dogs and am crate trained. I was heartworm positive when I was rescued down South, but I’m healthy now and ready to find a home where I can get love and affection at last! Please apply at https://www.saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp, and someone will get right back to you.

Story
Rooster is a 4-year-old love bug who adores being in a lap soaking in all the love and affection. He enjoys his walks and walks nicely on leash. Rooster gets along well with other dogs and children and has a sweet, affectionate personality that makes him an easy dog to fall in love with! However, no cats please! Rooster and his parents, Kahuna and Sprinkles, came to us from the same home and share a special bond. Although they would love to stay together, they are also expected to do well if adopted separately.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bluey is nearly 2 years old and comes with puppy energy.  A gorgeous silky wirehaired piebald dachshund is sure to bring in the applications so please read the complete bio before applying. Bluey is not apartment/condo/townhome appropriate No small children or male dogs. Bluey has a high prey drive and will dig under a fence to get that critter!  NO CATS for this boy. This cutie is really a love bug but still has plenty of puppy energy at 21 months old. He would be great on an agility course He would love a playmate, but it's not a dealbreaker for an active family.  His house training is going great; you just need to keep him on schedule.  Leash training is a work in progress but coming along very nicely. He is neutered, up to date on core vaccines and microchipped. Apply only at:  www.paw-affectionrescue.org Applicants from New England States Only Adoption Fee $650.00 If you have questions that are not answered in the bio please shoot us an email at: pawaffectionrescue@gmail.com    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2025, 11:19 am
