Story
He does get along with most other dogs but will do best as an only dog in the home. He does get along fine with my cat. He is mostly house trained but has environmental issues here- ideally, wouldn’t have issues as only dog.

I am a bit slow to warm up to new people but I am sweet once I get to know you. I have just began learning about a collar/harness and leash, I got my name when I arrived so I don't have any recall commands, a physically fenced yard is a must for me. I don't understand the dangers of roads, cars and trucks, and I get spooked and would run. Can you be my furever home? Do you have lots of patience and love to help me on my journey to learn to love and trust? I am guestimated to be 7 years old, I weigh 13 pounds, my adoption fee is $350 plus sales tax $15.75= $365.75   My adoption fee help with my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, spay, dental  and microchipping.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 14, 2026, 8:35 pm

Meet Hazel, an adorable 4-year-old red brindle dachshund with a sweet personality and a whole lot of charm! ❤️   Hazel is doing wonderfully with potty training and is crate trained, making her a great little companion who is already learning the ropes. She’s also working on her leash skills and is discovering that walks are full of exciting new sights, sounds, and smells.A physically fenced yard is a must for this beautiful girl just starting her journey to become a house pet.   She’s good with kids and other dogs and enjoys being part of the family fun. We don’t know how she feels about cats yet, as she hasn’t had any known exposure to them.   Hazel is still discovering her playful side and is learning how much fun toys can be. She’s also experimenting with zoomies, and when the mood strikes, this little long-bodied girl can turn into a speedy red-brindle blur!   Hazel is a sweet girl who is learning, growing, and showing more of her adorable personality every day. With a little patience, encouragement, and lots of love, she’s sure to make a wonderful and devoted companion. ❤️ We are an all-volunteer/foster home-based rescue. We DO NOT have a physical shelter.

Hi, I’m Arnie, a sweet 14-year-old senior dachshund who is hoping that my forever family is out there waiting for me. I’m a loving, easygoing senior boy who does well with other small dogs, but big dogs aren’t really my cup of kibble. I prefer my canine friends on the smaller side. My hearing isn’t what it used to be, so I may have either selective hearing or senior ears. But I can still hear clapping hands and whistles! When my foster mom claps her hands, I come trotting back to the house and I make eye contact with her. I am absolutely LOVING my foster mom’s big fenced backyard! There are birds, rabbits, and squirrels to watch and hunt, and I take my backyard security duties very seriously. Because of my age and hearing, I need a securely physically fenced yard to keep me safe. No invisible fences, please. My wishlist is pretty simple: A soft, comfy dog bed Good food Lots of love A safe, secure home A family who understands that senior dogs have so much love left to give I may be 14, but I still have plenty of life, love, and personality in me. I just need someone willing to give a sweet old guy a place to call home. Could you be my forever family? Please share Arnie’s post so we can help this senior boy find the loving forever home he deserves. Howdy!I'm Arnie I'm a sweet senior boy that is looking for a furever home of my own. I do well with other small dogs, big dogs are not my friends in my book. I have either selective hearing or my hearing just isn't what it used to be anymore. I can hear clapping hands and whistles. I come trotting back to the house when my foster mom claps her handles and I make eye contact with her. I'm loving her big fenced in backyard with lots of birds, rabbits and squirrel to hunt. I do need a securely physically fenced yard to keep me safe. I love a soft dog bed and good food. Can you be my furever home? I am 14 yrs young, I weigh 14 pounds, my adoption fee is $250 plus sales tax $11.25=$261.25   My adoption fee help with my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, neuter, dental with full mouth extraction and microchipping.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 14, 2026, 8:35 pm

I am playful around the right people, my foster mom is not sure how I pick and chooses them, I love some people and doesn't like others. I do very well with the foster puppy and tolerate him being a puppy and being in my face. We play pretty hard in the morning together, running through the house. My foster mom believes I would do well with other small dogs but she barks heavily at the neighbor's black lab. I am doing much better with hard kibble and I have a good appetite not that all my nasty teeth were pulled and my mouth has healed. I'm not interested with toys, but would rather just be with my people. I am a complete velcro dog. We went to the outdoor campus yesterday and me and the puppy both did well on their leashes. I do require a physically fenced yard as I don't know recall commands and don't listen, I looooove to run.I do well in my kennel at night but still has accidents overnight, so I have her wear a diaper. I am protective and bark at anyone coming through the front door, other than my foster mom. I am a couch potato at night and loves to sit on the couch with my foster family. I am also a bit of a licker. I do know my name and I hear much better now that my ear infection is cleared up.   My adoption fee help with my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, spay, dental with extractions and microchipping.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 14, 2026, 8:35 pm

Fill out the form by clicking on the picture of the computer screen with our logo on it.  Howdy! I'm Seymour and I recently came back to DDR. I was doing a lot of nervous peeing in my adoptive home. A new baby, two other small kids, it just wasn't a good fit for me. My foster family has been working with me and making sure I have my bellyband on at all times. I have settled in again and am enjoying having other dachshunds my age to play with. My foster mom's grandkids are 8 yrs old and 10 yrs old, I like sitting on the couch with them and I do well with them picking me up. They pick me up a lot to get me used to not being nervous..... that way I'm not nervous and I don't nervous piddle ;) I need a bit of time to settle in more before I head to my furever home. I need to keep my confidence up and know I don't have to be afraid or nervous of everything around me. Will you be my furever person, my furever home? I am 2 1/2 years old, I weigh 13 pounds, my adoption fee is $400 plus sales tax $18=$418   Howdy! I'm Seymour. I am a very sweet Doxie boy loving life in my foster home. I have just begun my journey to live life as a house pet. I am working on house training, learning to chew on what puppies are supposed to chew on. Wearing a harness and walking on a leash..... that's all new ;) I am learning I now have a name, I still don't listen when my foster mom says 'Come, sit or stay' what's that all about ;)   I do need a fenced yard to keep me safe since I don't come when called and I loooooove to run, chase and play with the other dogs in my foster mom's fenced yard. I am shy and need another small dog in the house. When I meet new people I run so my foster mom had to keep a leash attached when in the house and out in the yard so she could catch me.   Can you be my furever home? I am 6 years old my adoption fee is $600 plus sales tax $27=$627 My adoption fee helps cover all of my vetting needs such as rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, neuter, dental if needed and microchipping.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 14, 2026, 8:35 pm
