Dachshund puppies and dogs in Virginia

Meet Rain! Rain is a 1.5-year-old Dachshund. This petite bundle of love is a true lap dog, happiest when snuggled under blankets or tucked into your arms. She’s the ultimate Velcro dog who will follow you everywhere, always ready for cuddles and companionship. Rain is doing well with crate training and house training, especially with plenty of outdoor breaks. She’s a social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with kids, cats, and dogs alike, making her a great fit for families of all shapes and sizes. While she absolutely adores children and loves playing outside with them, she is a tiny girl, so she will need a home with gentle children who can respect her small size. Rain is affectionate, curious, playful, and eager to please. Like any true Dachshund, she’s wonderfully expressive and always has plenty to say. Rain loves warm blankets and snuggling under the covers. She’s also a fan of climbing into laundry baskets, especially if the clothes are fresh and clean. Her love for food makes her very motivated, which is great for training. Despite her energetic and playful side, she’s happiest being held close and soaking up as much affection as possible. If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly companion who will fill your home with warmth (and a little sass), Rain is the perfect match. She’s ready to bring a storm of love into her forever home. At Green Dogs Unleashed (GDU), we are dedicated to ensuring the successful placement of our dogs in loving, permanent homes. Over the years, we have seen an increasing number of returns due to behavioral issues that could have been prevented with the right support. A significant percentage of these returns involve out-of-area clients or those who have not completed training with GDU. To address this, positive reinforcement training with Green Dogs Unleashed is required as a condition for all adoptions. Preference for this dog will be given to adopters who commit to signing up for and completing our six-week Canine 101 training class in person at our headquarters in Troy, VA. Secondary consideration will be given to a limited number of out-of-area adopters who agree to complete one private lesson with GDU, either in person or virtually, and attend a pre-approved positive reinforcement training class in their area.   At the time you are seeing this post, this dog is still available for adoption. But please know that we may be working on multiple applications already, and any one of them could be approved at any time. Please READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION and complete an adoption application, if you are interested in any of our animals. Application at www.greendogsunleashed.org If you send an inquiry to ask if the dog is still available, or just tell us you are interested, your inquiry will not be answered. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. We can do NOTHING without that. No, we cannot tell you if he would be a match for your family without seeing an application. PLEASE KEEP READING for info. */*/* PLEASE NOTE: The first communication you will receive after completing an application will be an email response, which will have instructions on how to proceed. Please check your inbox AND spam folders for the next 48 hours, for this email. We will not begin processing an application without the information requested in that email. */*/* We are happy to consider applicants from out of state on most dogs. Please read the description to see if this dog is an exception. If the applicant is approved to adopt, they MUST be willing to come to our location in Troy, VA, for a meet and greet. If all parties agree that the pup and family are a good fit, they would take the pup home at that time. For more information about our mission and for an APPLICATION for adoption, please go to www.greendogsunleashed.com. GDU does ask a minimum adoption fee of $400.00. This does not even come close to covering all expenses created by animals while in rescue. We are funded solely by the angels and volunteers willing to donate time and finances. This minimum fee includes DAPP, rabies if age appropriate,, heartworm test and preventative, if age appropriate, and flea and tick treatment, as well as neutering or spaying, if the animal is medically sound to undergo surgery. In an attempt to avoid tummy upset from a sudden change of food, the foster family may include a small, transitional bag of the food the dog/puppy has been eating. And if the dog/puppy has grown attached to a special item (like a toy or blanket), they may send that along, as well. */*/* Young puppies will receive age-appropriate vaccines, and will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption. Adopters may be required to provide additional puppy boosters and at 16 weeks of age, a rabies vaccine. Future annual vaccines, testing and monthly heartworm preventative are REQUIRED, and will be the financial responsibility of the adopter. *****Due to the sheer number of animals and applications in our program, coupled with a limited number of volunteers, applicants MUST have patience as we process applications.   If you do not hear back from us, the animal may have been adopted.   We strive to let people know but sadly cannot offer reasons for denial beyond that.  Any harassment of our volunteers will go unanswered and we will simply block you.   Our volunteers spend their time working hard to ensure the very best for each animal.   Please remember the animal, not the applicant, is our client.*****  ##2226832##

Meet Cash! This sweet Dachshund mix was found running as a stray by our favorite Fed Ex driver and animal advocate, Paula, in Kings Mountain, NC. She took him in, contacted the local shelter, and posted on social media, but no one was looking for this sweet boy. He was still very young, not neutered or microchipped, and quickly proved to be a social little guy. Paula reached out to our team for assistance, and we are happy to help Good Samaritans who are taking action to help a dog in need. We were able to find Cash a wonderful foster home, and he’s currently living with his foster mom, Renee, and her well-adjusted pup, Ryder, and gets regular visits from the grandkids. He’s proven to be a very social, active, and cuddly boy who does great as part of a pack and when meeting new people. We checked in with Renee for a quick update: FOSTER MOM UPDATE - 12/5/24 “Cash is an active and loving dog. He’s happy all the time and always ready to play. He is such a wiggle butt, his whole back end wiggles when he gets excited. As a young pup, he needs to get his energy out or he will find his way into mischief. He does love to chew, so I make sure he has plenty of bones and bully sticks to keep him busy. He’s full of energy and ready to go first thing in the morning after having breakfast. I put Cash and Ryder out in the yard, and they run and run and burn off that energy. They are both ready to crash when they come in. Cash has been wonderful with all of my visitors and hasn’t met a stranger yet. He will grumble a little when they first arrive, but once they let him smell and sniff, he is happy to have company. He loves my grandkids and actually slept with one of the boys when they visited. He likes other dogs too. He met my neighbor’s dog, and they often run and play together. I think Cash will do better with another dog in his home as he seems to follow Ryder and the neighbor's dog. He would also benefit from having a playmate in his home. When Cash first arrived, everything was new to him. He had to get used to the noise and activity inside the home. It took a few days to get him into the kitchen to eat, but now it’s his favorite place. He sits in the kitchen while I prepare his dinner and is always right by my side when I fix any meal. He will be your shadow. He picks things up quickly and has learned No, Come, and Down already. If he’s outside and not paying attention I just tell him I’m going in, and he comes running. Cash is fully housebroken and will go to the door when he needs to go out or first wakes up from a nap. He was not a fan of the crate at first but has learned that when I put my shoes on, he gets a treat. I toss his treat into the crate, and he goes in. He’s fine until I get home. I tried to leave him out one day, and he chewed up some flip-flops, so I think he’s still a little too young to be trusted out on his own. He sleeps in his bed beside my bed every night and sleeps soundly through the night. He would rather sleep with me, but I have a high bed and due to his long back and short legs, I don’t want him jumping up or down. He is always next to me when I’m sitting on the couch and is my shadow around the house. As far as getting out and about. He does well in the car and his leash skills are coming along. Some days he’s right on track, other days he has a mind of his own. I have to be very consistent when working with him. If he gets his way one day, he starts his next day with being stubborn. He needs someone that will hold him to the rules.” ****** Cash needs an active home, and while he’d love to have a pup buddy, he’s confident enough to be an only dog, too. He’s excellent with kids and will make a great family dog. Cash will be coming to town on 12/7 to start his new life. Apply today!   BREED ESTIMATE: Dachshund Mix GENDER: Male APPROXIMATE WEIGHT:  25 lbs  APPROXIMATE AGE: ~ 12 months old COAT TYPE:  short coat ADOPTION FEE: $425 OTHER INFO: utd on shots/neutered/microchipped LOCATION: Washington, DC (NW)   FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application. You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to https://foster.worthydog.org and fill out an application.

The owner of Arlo, Lainey and 4 other akc registered doxies was living in a rental home with 4 children and the landlord said the dogs had to go. Her mom took them while she was supposed to find another place to live but that did not happen. Her mom had 3 dogs of her own and was overwhelmed so she asked for help. All the dogs are sweet but we took Arlo and Lainey. These two are quite bonded so we are going to try to place them together. They are both spay/neutered, UTD on vaccines and HW negative, They will also be microchipped. In their original home, they were left on a self feeder and I am afraid Arlo overindulged but Lainey was able to keep her figure. They are both so so sweet and cute! They both Love cuddles and kisses! They both seem to be reliably housetrained. Arlo is a red pie bald and Lainey is a black and tan wirehaired doxie. Lainey was born on 9/10/2021 so she is 3 years old, Arlo is 4. If you would like to add these fun little babies to your family, please email omlc7@hotmail.com or dogs4mylife@gmail.com and we will send our info and app. If you do not see a reply, please check your spam.
