Story
Meet Stella Rico Estimated Birthday: 12/4/2020 Weight: 37 lbs of pure love Breed: Mixed Breed Queen If you’ve been waiting for a sign to adopt a dog… this is it. Her name is Stella Rico, and she is ready to be someone’s whole heart. Stella Rico Rico is a beautiful 5-year-old mixed breed with the kind of soulful eyes that make you feel like she’s been listening to your problems all day — and honestly, she probably has. She’s the perfect medium size at 47 pounds: big enough for real hugs, small enough to fit perfectly beside you on the couch. Let’s talk personality. Stella Rico is calm and composed indoors — a true lady. She walks beautifully on leash (no sled-dog reenactments here), enjoys long strolls through the neighborhood, and is happiest just hanging out with her people. But don’t let her dignified demeanor fool you — she has her playful side too. Toss a ball and she’s ready for fetch. Offer a tug toy and she’s in. And every now and then? Backyard zoomies. The deluxe edition. Fun Fact: Stella Rico watches TV. Intently. She has strong opinions about dogs and cats on screen and isn’t afraid to voice them. Honestly, we love a girl who stays informed. Home Life House trained ✔️ Well-behaved when left alone ✔️ Doesn’t require a crate ✔️ A 4-foot fence is great if you have one, but she doesn’t require a fenced yard Lived in a home with a one-year-old child She’s comfortable around both men and women and truly just wants to be near her people. She’s affectionate without being clingy — the perfect balance. Important to Know: Stella Rico has a strong interest in squirrels (who among us doesn’t?) and she barks at cats, so a cat-free home would likely be best. We haven’t seen how she interacts with other dogs yet. Health Note — Addison’s Disease Stella Rico has Addison’s Disease, which simply means she takes a daily prednisone pill and receives a monthly injection to keep her feeling her best. And she does feel her best — happy, active, and thriving. She doesn’t let it slow her down one bit. Think of it as a small monthly maintenance plan for a very premium dog. Her Backstory Stella Rico is a returned adoption — through absolutely no fault of her own. Sometimes life changes, but what hasn’t changed is Stella Rico’s sweet, steady heart. She deserves the forever she’s been waiting for. Stella Rico is smart, gentle, playful, and deeply loyal. She’s the kind of dog who will quietly sit beside you after a long day, rest her head on your leg, and remind you that you are her whole world. If you’re looking for a best friend who walks beautifully on leash, plays a mean game of tug, supervises wildlife from the window, and binge-watches TV with you… Stella Rico is your girl. She’s not just adoptable. She’s unforgettable. Before emailing- please read: - Yes, this dog is available for adoption - The adoption fee is $265 - Apply at c2cnd.org - The adoption fee covers their age appropriate shots, microchip, deworming, spay/neuter, and any other medical expenses while in our care. - Local adopters only. Due to our thorough adoption process including home visits, we limit our adoptions to local families in the greater Charlotte area. - If you have any additional questions, email us at dogs@c2cnd.org and we will respond as soon as possible!

He was adopted out as a puppy along with his sister in 2012 here in TN ...scroll forward 14 yrs. The rescue got contacted that he was found in a home with his deceased owner and his sister. They did not know how long they had been deceased. Only Otto and the cat made it out alive. We were contacted due to the chip and we found out that the adopter that we adopted to gave our dogs away without contracting us. BUT we got Otto back and this won’t happen again. Otto is the sweetest, calmest old guy you’d ever want to meet. He looks at you with his big cow eyes and you have to wonder why anyone would want to give him away! Oh, by the way his mom was a Dachshund and his daddy was a Chihuahua so he’s a Chiweenie. We want to believe that there is someone out there that will give him his last furever home. This boy is no trouble and just wants to follow you around the house and yard. He truly is a gem. Our must haves for him are: A fenced in yard Preferably another senior small dog since he lived with one, oh, and a cat would be fine, too. Please no apartments, condos or high rises Otto sadly lost all of his teeth except one canine due to no dental care but other than that his blood work is great and he’s in great shape except for the need to lose about 3 more lbs. Please give him that last home. He really deserves a great last home. ============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ============== AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund’s back or get bitten. If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed on the bio form. They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. We cannot adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have any issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures. To understand the adoption process through AADR, please review the Adoption Information on our home page. Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3. Click this link to apply: https://www.allamericandachshundrescue.org/apply, it will take you to the application form. Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers who will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast or Midwest. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. Please look for dogs on your coast.

Several dogs were surrendered to us that day, but Dolly and Patsy just have to stay together. They love each other, play together, and sleep together, though they cannot eat together (Patsy eats with a slow bowl; Dolly eats slowly). They do everything together, and we just could not separate them, so if you are looking for a pair/instant family, you have found them. They are both happy and friendly; it might take a minute for them to warm up, but not much longer than that. They love playing with toys and seeing what trouble they can get into, so pick up anything that falls on the floor because it will be theirs. They love doing zoomies in the fenced yard in the morning and running in and out of the house; it would be great if you had a doggie door. If you want these two to be yours, fill out the online application and select their names from the drop-down box. Our must-haves for this dynamic duo include: A fenced yard Someone who is home more often than not If you have another dog, then he/she must be 3 years and under since both these ladies love to play No apartment, high-rises, or condos (anything with shared walls) Active family ONLY, as they are not couch potatoes If you decide to adopt these two and you are approved, this will be the best thing that has happened and will happen in your life. They will give you years of enjoyment, fun, and laughter! ============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ============== AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime.

Story
Sweet Cali was my Godmother’s love of her life. Last year she passed away ar the age of 78. My Godmother did not have children (just me - her little girl) and her pups! Her Boyfriend was supposed to take care of them and he fell short and sweet Cali was rescued from that situation. I have had Cali & her sister Hunny for over a month now and have nurtured back to health & now due to have 6 dogs of my own I need to find an amazing home for her & her sister Hunny (Lab). I would love to keep them together but also understand that is not always possible. these pups have been through so much and i want them to have the best life.

Story
THEY LOST EVERYTHING… BUT THEY STILL HAVE EACH OTHER. Meet Cookie’s n Cream & Fudge Bar, two adorable Chiweenies and two of the sweetest little souls you could ever hope to meet. These two came from a heartbreaking situation — 14 animals abandoned in a home with no power, no food and no water. They were eventually taken to the shelter, scared and confused, and we were able to take three of them into our rescue. The third was our precious senior Chihuahua, Nana. Sadly, Nana has since crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We loved her until her very last breath, and while we wish we could have given her years of happiness, we are so grateful that she got to experience love, comfort, soft beds, good food and kindness after everything she had endured. Nana left this world knowing she mattered and knowing she was loved. Now we want to give Cookie’s n Cream and Fudge Bar the happy hound tales they deserve. And if there is ANY way possible, we want that ending to be TOGETHER. Despite everything they have been through, these two are absolutely incredible dogs. They are sweet, happy, gentle, easygoing and unbelievably resilient. They are so grateful for everything — a warm bed, a good meal, a kind hand and just a little attention. They ask for so little and give back so much.  COOKIE’S N CREAM • Chiweenie • 8 years old • 11 pounds • Spayed • Up to date on vaccines • Heartworm negative • Recently had a dental and only lost a few teeth • Sweet, loving and easygoing FUDGE BAR • Chiweenie • 9 years old • 10 pounds • Neutered • Up to date on vaccines • Heartworm negative • Recently had a much-needed dental and lost 23 teeth! • Feeling SO much better and ready for his new life And together? They are just amazing. ❤️ ❤️ They are wonderful with other animals and people and could even do well with considerate older children. They are the kind of dogs who could fit beautifully into pretty much any loving home. We rescue a lot of dogs, but we rarely get a pair this incredibly sweet and easy. There is something very special about these two. They survived being abandoned together and  we would love nothing more than for the next door they walk through to be the door of their forever home — together.  Please consider opening your heart and home to Cookie’s n Cream & Fudge Bar. If you can’t adopt, PLEASE SHARE them https://form.jotform.com/241745142308149October 6, 2026, 9:17 am
