Story
Dusty14 years old11 poundsDilute dappleFostered in Raleigh, NC areaShort list: Good with dogs, needs housetraining work or belly bands, Grade 5 heart murmur, takes heart meds about $42 a month, shy at first, playful, great snuggler, gives great kisses, hearing issues,  no kids under 12 You know that Dusty likes you when he starts giving you kisses – and he’s a great kisser. He’s a bit shy and reserved at first, but when he warms up he turns into a totally different dog. But you REALLY know you’ve won his heart when he brings you his favorite squeaky toy to throw. Yes, this 14-year-old has way more pep in his step than you would expect. He loves to run after his toys and will even sometimes bring them back, in true dachshund fashion. This boy has had a rough few weeks. He was left in the freezing cold morning on the front steps of a shelter and then landed in our arms. But he’s now turned into this friendly boy who loves his people. During the day, he plays with the other dogs at doggie daycare at his foster mom’s work. And at night, he snuggles in the big bed with her buried under the blankets. In between, he loves to patrol the house and hold court on the sofa. His new family should expect a rough transition in the beginning and be patient as he settles into his new routine. He’s crate trained but would prefer to be with his person. Dusty needs work on housetraining, but he is totally fine with wearing belly bands to make it easier on his new family. We aren’t sure if he just needs more reinforcement or if he’s just past the point of really caring anymore – his new family should be ready for both. Since he can be a little timid at first and snappy if grabbed too fast before he’s comfortable, he needs a family without kids under 12. Dusty is neutered, UTD on shots, had senior bloodwork and is microchipped. He has no teeth. Dusty has a grade 5 heart murmur and is on daily medication that costs about $50 a month. His new family will need to drive to Raleigh to adopt him – no transports. We prefer to adopt to families who live within a few hours drive from central NC. To get the process started of adopting him, fill out an application at www.doxiebyproxy.org. Dusty is an awesome dog for the right family who will give him the time and space to bloom. His foster family has fallen in love with him and we know you will feel the exact same way.   ##1678159##

Story
Estelle came from a local shelter where she had shown up as a stray. The years of neglect and abuse was evident - from her stained feet (from red clay) to her brittle and dull coat - this girl has not seen the proper amount of love and care. One thing is for sure - it has not changed her outlook on humans. Estelle loves EVERY human she meets. She happily greets every human with tons of love and that huge smile on her face. When Estelle first came into our rescue - well, she came in like a wrecking ball (no real easy way to say that). She was attacking other dogs right and left, drinking bowls of water (or finding ways to get to water bottles to get her own water), having accidents in the house and just in general being a BIT much. We were concerned about there being an underlying health condition so we lined up the tests. Diabetes, Cushings, extensive bloodwork, X-rays -- and guess what? She passed every last one of them with flying colors. She was ruled perfectly healthy. And then, we began to notice that she was going into heat! AhhhhHA! A possible answer emerged. It is possible all of her rage-like behavior was attributed to just being angry that she is menopause age and having to still deal with potentially getting pregnant and having puppies (any menopausal women out there will tell you that the idea of potentially having puppies at 50+ years old sounds tiring, am I right?). After all, Estelle is no spring chicken -- we think she is between 11-13 years of age (though it is hard to tell because the spring in her step does not match the gray on her face). And while Estelle might have some age, she will have you know that she wastes no time when it comes to be invited to go on a walk and gladly sniffs about for 2-3 miles daily. As we have progressed through Estelle's heat cycle, we have seen the the calm in the storm. Less accidents, decrease from her veracious appetite and just generally happier with herself.  Estelle was recently spayed & now completed her vetting.   Estelle was moved to a foster home with no other dogs & that has been incredible for her.  Estelle loves all the human attention & will never leave lonely.  She is also walking everyday, enjoying baths, naps on the sofa & soaking up the springtime sun.  We would like to have a home that preferable does not have any other animals but wants a TRUE couch companion that will love you forever. There is no devotion like Estelle's devotion and now that Estelle is getting her groove back, we know that she is going to make a lonely heart so much better. Are you that lonely heart seeking a partner-in-love? Estelle is ready to accept the position. ##1694954##

Story
Sassy9 years oldDachshund MixFostered in RaleighWeighs 25 pounds (should be about 15)  Short list: Happy, Sweet, Housetrained/Pee Pad trained, mostly blinded, loves dogs and needs a dog friend, blind, cat friendly, must have fenced yard because she gets scared on a leash. The first thing you notice about this sweet gal is her tail. It wags and wags and wags. And the first word that comes to mind when we think of this adorable gal is happy. Check out the videos in the comments to see for yourself – we promise it will make your day. When Sassy arrived with us, she was anything but happy. Her owner that she loved dearly left for a scuba diving outing one day and never came home. This gal was totally shut down as she mourned the loss of her person, who died in a tragic scuba accident. But over the past few weeks, we have watched her heal and blossom in her foster home, which is one of our favorite parts of rescue. Sassy is mostly (if not totally) blind, but it doesn’t stop her one single bit in the house. She figures out the lay of the land quickly and even learned how to use a ramp to get on the sofa – one of her favorite spots. Sassy loves her foster siblings (she was even find with a crazy visiting puppy), and they bring her comfort – we joke that her favorite friend (a calm older dog) is her personal seeing eye dog. To help her be her best self, we are looking for a home with at least one other dog.   We don’t usually require fences to adopt (so please don’t send us nastygrams), but this is an exception. Because of her vision issues, Sassy freezes on a leash and gets very scared – so she must have a fence – no exceptions. However, she does great navigating the yard without a leash. While this gal is pee pad trained right now, she also does her business outside so she should be relatively easy to move off the pee pads if her new home wants to. And yes, Sassy is our latest biggest loser candidate. This gal needs to lose at least 10 pounds – to be at her healthy weight. Because exercise isn’t in her near future with the leash issue, we need a family committed to a strict diet. Sassy is UTD on shots, spayed, had a dental and a cherry eye repaired. Her new family will need to travel to Raleigh to adopt her – no transports. We prefer to adopt within four hours of Central NC. To get the process started of adopting this cutie pie, fill out an application at www.doxiebyproxy.org/application She’s cute. She’s sweet. She plays well with others. She’s laid back. And she’s not going to turn your house upside down. She fits right in and goes with the flow. Simply put, Sassy is a great dog. ##1705699##

Story
Cindy9 (ish)Fostered in Raleigh12 poundsShort list: Hilarious, housetrained, crate trained, not a fan of walks, great with cats, good with dogs, apartment friendly, working family friendly.    Cindy is absolutely convinced that every human on this earth was put here specifically to serve her needs, specifically rubbing her belly. Her foster mom calls her Cinderella, since this pup is positive that she is a princess. And she’s not shy about letting you know that she is being neglected – well, in her mind anyway. First, she will tap you with her paw – whatever body part is nearest. If she’s on your lap or next to you, she will tap on your shoulder, just like a person – which is of course what she thinks she is. And then repeat till you pay attention. Yes, it’s as adorable as it sounds. And if that doesn’t work, then she will grunt at you. Or she might rollover to show her belly, just in case you weren’t clear on your assignment. This gal has the best personality ever. She wants to be adored and will make you feel like the most important person in the word, which of course you are to her. If you are on the couch, she’s in your lap. But if she’s not getting attention, this girl is exploring, playing and running = she’s active and energetic. Somehow that energy and enthusiasm for life doesn’t carry over to walks. She knows how to walk on a leash but after about 300 feet, she decides that she doesn’t want to work up a sweet and simply stops and says “Nope, I’m good.” Nothing you can say or do changes her mind. Your only option is to carry your wiener home, which always makes for lots of laughs from passerby. Maybe that will change, but if you are looking for a walking buddy, Cindy isn’t your gal. When we say she gets along with everyone, we aren’t exaggerating.  She’s great with dogs and cats. She’s crate trained and housetrained. Yes, she’s pretty much perfect. Got kids? Her whole body lights up when she sees children. And her favorite person is the 9-year-old in the foster home – she even waits at the door when it’s time for her kid to come home from school. She would do great in a home with kids over 6. Cindy is UTD, spayed, had a dental, is HW negative and microchipped. When Cindy came to us, she had numerous mammary tumors from not being spayed at an appropriate age. We had them surgically removed and they were benign. Her new family will need to drive to Raleigh to adopt. We prefer to adopt to families within a 4-hour drive of Central NC (Charleston/Savannah and DC area are fine). To get the process started of adopting this gal, fill out the adoption form at www.doxiebyproxy.org/application. We promise you that you will start laughing and smiling within minutes of meeting Cindy. She is simply hilarious. And we promise that she will make you feel like a prince or princess when you are with her as well – because in her eyes, her person is royalty. ##1698592##

Story
Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you? We got some work to do now Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you? We need some help from you now… Say hello to DBPR’s very own Scoobie.  Scoobie arrived to us after his owner passed.  Scoobie is ready to work to find his forever home.  The good stuff:-Scoobie is young (3 y/o) & healthy. -Scoobie bonds well & really loves his humans.  Scoobie has bonded more to one of his foster parents but is also affectionate with the other. -Scoobie gets along great with other dogs.   He is in a foster home with several other dogs & is doing great.  For reason coming in the “bad stuff,” too many dogs in his forever home may be too much.-He loves to snuggle & cuddle, loves to burrow & does love sleeping in the big bed.  You will not have to look for him often - he’ll be right behind you.-Scoobie is playful, full of energy & a happy boy.-He is fully vetted, up-to-date on vaccines, neutered, Heartworm negative recent dental & microchipped.   The bad stuff:-Scoobie needs to lose weight.  Every extra pound is too much pressure on his back, so he needs to come down several more pounds.  More exercise will help but the battle will be won by feeding the appropriate diet, measuring his food & managing treats.  Scoobie needs diet Scooby snacks. -Scoobie has separation anxiety.  The temporary home he was in between his prior owner & our rescue did have to board him twice and it was not ideal.  He has also been known to howl when his foster parents go to another room to shower.  Some of it may be situational since he has gone through a loss & transitions, but his new family should expect to manage it.  For these reasons, we hope to find a family with some flexibility during the day.  Long 8-10 hour work days won’t work for Scoobie.  Good long walks to work off some energy oftentimes also help with anxiety as it just wears their body & brain down enough to rest. -His housetraining is not winning awards yet.  It will require more work.  He sports a belly band inside right now & does not mind it.  He goes outside well & enjoys it - he just needs to connect the dots & establish a consistent routine.  Listen twice - he is not well housetrained so be ready to work & be patient or go ahead & order belly bands. -Scoobie is very affectionate.  But the line between licking you & accidentally using his teeth to kiss you gets missed sometimes .  Scoobie has gently nipped his foster family a few times when showering them with love.  They are confident he is not aggressive (no growling) but rather he gets so excited, it just overcomes him.  Remember, he loves his humans & attaches strong.  This too may subside but his family should expect the same reactions at first.  Again, you probably will get a nip kiss.  His new family need to create a calm environment when returning home & limit the chaos when smooching him - hence the reason too many pack members may be overstimulating if he is vying for the love.  -Because he loves people so hard, boundaries may become necessary.  Scoobie is not resource guarding yet but he could decide to protect his favorite member of the house.  His new family just needs to recognize there may come a time when his undying love needs boundaries.  -Because of the above, no little kids.  We can discuss 12 years old & up.  -Scoobie does chew stuff so be prepared to put stuff up or he’ll ruin it for you.  Oh and Scoobie trash can fives too.  Scoobie was well loved in his past life.  He understands a happy home.  Scoobie is infectious & will bring all sorts of joy to his new home.  But the unexpected transition has brought on behaviors that need to be worked through, a good schedule with structure & boundaries, and patience.  Scoobie is fostered south of the Raleigh area & any adoptive family will need to travel to his adoptive home (we do not transport).  We prefer an adoption area within a few hours of Raleigh & Greensboro, NC.  ##1717224##

Story
Pogo is as the name implies - full of energy and ready to JUMP into your life! Pogo is a young dachshund/min pin mix that is full of energy (as well as some piss and vinegar). This little guy found himself on the run and his finder startled him as she tried to catch him - ending in a bite to her hand. This landed poor Pogo in the shelter on a bite quarantine for what was an easily explained incident. Knowing we were Pogo's only ticket out alive, we quickly went to retrieve this little guy and get him into a foster home prepared to handle his breed mix. Pogo is about 2-3 years old and 12 lbs of FUN! Upon landing in his foster home we discovered just how very loving little Pogo truly is to his people! Now we will be clear - dachshuns and min pins are both very head strong breeds and Pogo is (as you might expect) a head strong boy. He loves what he loves -- and usually that is HIS person, his toys, his treats and he even loves his crate. The problem is that Pogo also needs boundaries and firm structure in his home to thrive. Pogo can be kennel aggressive (an issue easily solved by working with desensitizing him to the kennel door as it shuts) and can get a littlel too wired with his energy level and will nip (forgetting it all started out as play). None of these things should come as a surprise to people who love these breeds - Pogo is a poster child for his breed mix. Aplty named, Pogo loves to jump and can even jump waist high which is quite a sight! He is working on his housetraining and doing very well with learning his manners. All in all, this loveable little guy makes himself very easy to love but we need to find a structured home for him to continue to thrive. Because of his bite history and his tendency towards getting a little too carried away with his energy level, we are recommending a home with no children under the age of 12. We do not know how he would do with cats but would be happy to cat test him if a home with a canine friendly feline is interested in adding Pogo to their home (we expect he would likely do just fine with cats). Pogo LOVES LOVES LOVES other dogs so a high energy playmate would be ideal. And if you love to hike and take long walks that is a bonus because Pogo could use the energy drain. Pogo is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and heartworm negative - ready to take the leap right into a loving forever home! In return, Pogo promises lots and lots and lots of kisses - and he will be your very best friend.  ##1728744##

Story
Leonard has been our little buddy for over 6 years now. He won us over at first sight as the tiny little weenie dog dancing around at our local shelter. He's been by our side (or in our arms) through everything since. He's extremely loyal to his family and will have your back through the toughest times. We joke that he's a little security officer - always letting us know when he senses danger. He's suspicious of strangers at first (for our safety of course) but quickly warms up to them and will be in their lap getting loved on within 15 minutes. He wants nothing more than to lay on your lap or burrow under the blankets with you and cuddle (he's not a high-energy dog). We are heartbroken to need to rehome him but know that we're doing what's best for him as he has not adjusted well to our infant daughter. He would thrive in a childless home with a family that can give him the attention and environment that he needs.

Benji is a Dachshund mixed. Very sweet but protective. Good with dogs his size but have to get use to larger dogs. Benji is having some nerve issues. Not able to fully walk at the moment but does stand. always been an inside dog. I have him under the care of Southside Vet. willing to still help with food. he has plenty of toys, etc. I have a husband that is on at home dialysis and my mom just had radiation beads placed in her stomach so I've been told that Benji is not a good fit with those situations. Just want him to be given a chance for a loving home.
