Story
Damion will be going to the humane society March 4, if not adopted before then. Damion is a 4 year old, intact male. He is NOT utd on shots, he does have fleas. He is 3/4 dachshund and 1/4 Jack Russel. He was born into a litter of eleven. He is one of four that survived. Those four had to be hand fed. We got him from our good friends. Damion doesn’t do well with younger children under age 13. He is very hyper and needs a lot of exercise. He is vocal when he needs to go outside. He knows what outside means. He is crate trained and house broken. He is only in his crate at night. He loves to cuddle and kisses on his snout. He loves bubbles! He loves to run as fast as he can. He gets whiny when in the car. He is skiddish at first, but once you pet him, he’s your friend. We have a lot on our plate with being full time caregivers of two family members. We are unable to give him the time he needs and unable to financially take care of him.

Story
*WE ARE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR CONNIE IN NC/SC* Meet Connie Connie is a 14-month-old, 8-pound partially blind double dapple dachshund who almost had a very different future. She was being held back by a breeder to be used as a momma dog — simply because her blue eyes were “so pretty” and would make beautiful puppies. What wasn’t understood is that those same genetics are what caused Connie’s blindness… and breeding her would likely have passed those defects on to her babies. Thankfully, a friend stepped in and changed her path. Now Connie gets the life she always deserved — as someone’s cherished pet, not a breeding mill. Because she has never lived in a home, Connie will need patience, understanding, and time. Everything is new to her. The world feels different when you can’t see it clearly. But she is willing. She is gentle. She is trying. And most of all, she is incredibly cuddly and loving. She will even do great with older considerate children. Connie will need a confident, kind furry buddy in her forever home to help guide her as she learns this brand-new life. She’ll take her cues from them and find comfort in their presence. She is being spayed tomorrow and then will be on the hunt for her final placement. Connie’s best chapter is just beginning. Her adoption fee is a donation of 500.00 There is a 20.00 application fee/donation You can apply here https://form.jotform.com/241745142308149February 12, 2026, 3:29 pm

Jake & Scarlett’s Bio Bonded Pair Meet Jake and Scarlett, two sweet dachshunds who recently lost their beloved mom just a few weeks ago. At 13 years old, Jake is a gentle black and tan gentleman, and at 9 years old, Scarlett is a beautiful red girl with a loving spirit. Together, they’re the very best of friends. Their mom adored them and made sure they were always cared for—up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and they’ll be getting dentals tomorrow so they’re ready for their next chapter. These two are as kind as they come: they get along with everyone, have wonderful temperaments, and are happiest when they’re near people who show them love. Jake and Scarlett miss their mom very much, but they’re ready to find a new forever home where they’ll be cherished just as much as she cherished them. They would love nothing more than to bring warmth, loyalty, and companionship to the family who opens their hearts to them to adopt please fill out an application. 20.00 application fee applies  https://www.chapmansdox.com/adoptOctober 9, 2025, 1:44 pm

Story
Pebbles is the long haired dachshund pictured. 6-7 years old. He was sent to the Charlotte shelter and they couldn’t adopt him to the public because he was resource guarding. Meaning he was being protective over his mom or dad. When he got here he  would snap and growl at us but after about a month he has turned around and is very sweet to me. He wouldn’t be good for kids. He will most likely be good with a female dog. He would have to go home in a crate and given time to approach you and not the other way around. to adopt please fill out an application. 20.00 application fee applies  https://www.chapmansdox.com/adoptJuly 29, 2025, 10:34 am
