Dachshund puppies and dogs in Vermont

Misses Buttersworth | The Sweetest Little Granny Misses Buttersworth has officially reached the stage of life where her priorities are simple: good snacks, comfortable beds, plenty of naps, and being near the people she loves. Honestly, she has life figured out. Estimated to be around 10 years old with a birthday of 8/21/2016, Misses Buttersworth is a senior female Dachshund mix weighing approximately 22.6 lbs. She's a petite, low-to-the-ground little lady with a beautiful black-and-white coat and those unmistakable Dachshund features. She may be little, but she has a little extra cushion on her—and once you learn how much this woman loves to eat, it all starts making sense. Her fosters affectionately call her “Granny,” and the nickname couldn't suit her better. Watch her in action, then come back to read more! Misses Buttersworth is an incredibly laid-back, quiet little dog. At this point in her life, she's much more interested in getting comfortable and enjoying a good snooze than keeping up with the hustle and bustle. She sleeps peacefully in a dog bed in her foster home and is perfectly content spending her days relaxing nearby while her people go about theirs. And being near her people is important to Misses. She's wonderfully affectionate with both men and women and happily gives and receives love. She's the kind of senior girl who doesn't need a packed schedule of adventures to be happy. Give her a cozy place to rest, some companionship, and plenty of affection, and you've pretty much nailed her dream day. There is, however, one very effective shortcut to her heart: Food. Misses Buttersworth LOVES to eat. Treats are serious business in her world, and arriving with something tasty is probably the fastest way to become her newest best friend. This little lady didn't get her extra bit of fluff by turning down snacks. Food is absolutely one of her love languages, right alongside affection, comfortable beds, and a quality nap. She's currently fostered in a home with cats. Every once in a while, Buttersworth apparently remembers she's still a dog and may briefly chase one—but the enthusiasm is pretty short-lived. Before long, she's right back to relaxing and minding her own business. Thoughtful introductions and supervision would still be important with any new feline friends, but she's currently sharing her home with cats successfully. Misses Buttersworth is also deaf or extremely hard of hearing, but she doesn't seem particularly bothered by it. Loud noises aren't something that disturb this little lady—mostly because she probably has no idea they're happening. Her hearing does mean communicating with her looks a little different. Visual cues, movement, and vibrations are the best ways to get her attention. A wave can catch her eye, while gently patting or stepping on the floor can create vibrations she can feel. Approaching where she can see you can also help keep her from being startled. And once you've got her attention? She's perfectly happy to see you. Especially if you brought snacks. Misses Buttersworth can also settle in a crate. She showed a little heavy panting initially but remained mostly quiet and settled before long. At home, though, she's perfectly happy snoozing away in her dog bed. She hasn't shown separation anxiety and doesn't need someone constantly entertaining her. That's part of what makes Misses Buttersworth such a lovely senior companion. She isn't asking for a complicated life. She doesn't need someone to wear her out every day. She isn't looking for nonstop excitement. Granny just wants somewhere soft to land. Her ideal home would have a slower, more relaxed pace where she can enjoy her golden years surrounded by comfort and affection. Someone who understands that senior dogs move through life a little differently—and who doesn't mind communicating with her in ways that don't require hearing—could have an incredibly sweet little companion in Misses Buttersworth. At around 10 years old, she may be an older lady, but she still has plenty of love to give. She's affectionate, easygoing, delightfully sleepy, food obsessed, and happiest simply sharing space with her people. Considering her favorite hobbies include eating, sleeping, getting loved on, and being comfy, Misses Buttersworth is basically living the senior-dog dream. Now she just needs a forever home where she can continue it. Misses Buttersworth doesn't need much to feel rich: a cozy bed, a loving person, a pocket full of treats, and permission to spend her retirement doing exactly what Granny does best—being comfy!

Welcome Annabelle to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 20-pound sweet Dachshund/Havanese is our best guess. She has a curly coat and curly hair on her tail. She is about 5 months old. She is very sweet. She was found on the streets. She doesn’t jump up, is good with other dogs, good in a kennel, very non reactive around lots of dogs and a busy shelter. She is a very mellow and lower energy dog. She is what we call “perfect” temperament in Rescue. Since she is relatively quiet, she would be fine in a condo, apartment or shared wall situation. She is sturdy and would make a great walking companion. She won’t need lots of walks or exercise to be happy. She is getting spayed soon and is topping up and getting her vaccinations. She could go to a moderately to lower active family. She would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. She is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

Welcome Cosmo to CCPAL Rescue. Cosmo is an Dachshund/Beagle is our best guess. He is about 18 pounds now and should be small sized full grown. We think 25 full grown. He is very sweet, has good eye contact and has a soft coat and down ears. He is active and the group is vocal but not over the top. He is one of the shyer pups and would be great for a family or person that is moderate to less active. He won’t be the social butterfly but will be a fantastic companion pet for someone. If a person is a quieter person wanting an easy and loveable pup that is content being with you, this is your match. A person that does not work all day every day for 5 days a week is the best for a puppy. Someone that can work from home some or has partial days or some days off to spend to help your new puppy acclimate is best. You need time to be with your puppy to socialize them and to finish off their puppy training. Cosmo was very easy to handle taking his photos and he wasn’t afraid of new people and liked being held. He sat on the table with confidence while we worked with him. He is getting daily attention and holding at the Rescue. He is getting his DHPP vaccinations and dewormed. He is good in his play group. He is kenneled in the evening and is learning to go potty on a wee pad. He is currently at the CCPAL Rescue in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. He would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. His adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

Welcome Drummer to CCPAL Rescue. Drummer is an 8-year-old wire-haired Dachshund. He was adopted out by us 4 years ago. He was 4 at the time. He has been loved and bonded deeply to the woman that adopted him. He would love another home with a quieter home that would allow him to get the attention he needs and deserves. He has found himself in need of a new forever home. His owner has been put in hospice and can no longer care for him. The immediate family cannot care for him so we stepped up and will find this precious boy his new forever home. He is trying to adjust to the Rescue again. The treats from our friends in New Jersey helped him today along with all the nice gifts. His owner has been put in hospice and can no longer care for him. The immediate family cannot care for him so we stepped up and will find this precious boy his new forever home. 5.5 may sound out but it truly is middle aged in Dachshunds lifespans. They can easily live to be 17 years old. If you love the breed, you know how loyal and bonded these dogs are to their person. They are a single dog person dog. They may love other people but they are loyal to one. He sheds some but not over the top. He is a good weight and his teeth are not too bad for his age. You can tell he was cared for and that he is disoriented with his new arrangement at the Rescue. He is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

Meet Darrell! This tiny, ridiculously handsome little guy is about a year old and we believe he may be a Dachshund/chihuahua mix. With his short legs, speckled paws, expressive eyebrows, and permanent "I know something you don't know" grin, Darrell looks like he walked straight out of a cartoon. At first glance, Darrell can come across as a tough guy. In reality, he's more like a tiny security guard who takes his job a little too seriously. His job? Making sure his favorite people are safe and properly loved. Watch Darrell in action in his video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTR5fmcZ9EM Once Darrell decides you're one of his people, you're in. He absolutely adores his trusted humans and turns into a total cuddle bug. He's perfectly lap-sized, loves curling up next to his family, and thinks car rides are one of the greatest inventions of all time. If you're headed somewhere, Darrell would like to come too. He also loves having a routine. His crate is his cozy little bedroom, and he happily trots right inside when it's time to relax. Predictability helps him feel safe, and he's the kind of dog who thrives when he knows what to expect. Darrell currently lives with dogs and cats and does very well with both. He's generally pretty aloof with other dogs, preferring to mind his own business rather than get involved in puppy politics. He gets along well with dogs who respect personal space and don't constantly pester him. He also lives with cats and has learned that after one firm feline correction, it's best to mind your own business. Smart guy. Now for the important part: Darrell is not a dog who enjoys strangers getting in his face or handling him before trust has been built. He can absolutely be mouthy when he's uncomfortable and may snap or bite if his boundaries are ignored. He's not being mean—he's just very clear about his feelings and expects people to listen. Because of this, Darrell needs an adopter who understands dog body language and respects that relationships take time. Darrell thrives on routine and predictability. He loves his crate, enjoys knowing what's coming next, and settles beautifully into home life. His foster reports that he has experienced occasional seizures throughout his life, but they have been rare and have never stopped him from being a happy, adventurous little dog. Car rides, lap time, snacks, and spending time with his favorite people are still at the top of his priority list. Because of his medical history and his preference for limited stranger handling, Darrell will be adopted as-is. Future adopters should be comfortable monitoring his health alongside their veterinarian, but overall he continues to enjoy a fantastic quality of life and spends his days doing what he does best: being an adorable little sidekick. The good news? Once he trusts you, he's incredibly loving, loyal, and affectionate. The bond he forms with his people is something special. He's not looking for a hundred friends. He's looking for his family. His ideal home would be a quieter household with older children or adults who appreciate a dog with a little sass and a lot of personality. No apartments for this guy—he can be a bit chatty when he has opinions, and Darrell definitely has opinions. Darrell is the canine version of that grumpy old man who secretly has a heart of gold. He's funny, loyal, adorable, and full of character. He won't love everyone, but if he chooses you, you'll have one of the most devoted little sidekicks around. And honestly? That's kind of what makes him so special. 🖤🐾✨ Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?
