Lil’ Bit and Ginger are AKC registered dachshunds who are 6 years old.  They had the same dad but different mothers.  Their owner who is an elderly lady, has dementia and is now living in a nursing home.She loved and cared for her dogs, but she is no longer able to care for herself, or Ginger, and Lil Bit. Unfortunately, there  is nobody in her family who is able to take them.They were taken to their local pounds but there was no room for them,so they would be euthanised. The family brought them home
and contacted our rescue.
The dogs are presently being fostered in Dayton, Ohio. The owner had not been able to care for them recently, due to her health.The foster mom has been catching them up on their medical care. They are spayed and are now current on all of  their shots and testings..
The best part about these dogs is their lovable personalities.They seem to love everybody….real lap dogs. They are perfectly housebroken and have not had accidents in their foster home.They were not used to a fenced yard but were walked on a leash. We would like to see them  go to a fenced yard, as they now love to be outside.  Presently they are sleeping with their foster mom and her dachshund.  In their original home there was a cat.

We prefer to keep Ginger and Lil’ Bit together, with someone who has plenty of time to spend with them. as they love attention.

Jackson is absolutely delightful.  He seems to be very smart and tries to please you.  He absolutely loves everybody.  His little tail never quits wagging.

He rides very well in the car.  Jackson found a ball on his own, from another dog in the house and brought it to us, to throw for him.  He has even caught the ball in the air, on a fly.  When the ball is just lying on the floor, he might push it to you with his nose, so you can throw it to him again.

He is perfectly housebroken.  Jackson is like the perfect little dog.  His coat feels so nice and silky,  He likes to sleep with his foster folks and to snuggle and be held.. .Jackson seems to be very smart and will make a wonderful pet for someone.

Max is a darling little 8 pound dachsie, who is one year old.  He is very friendly with both humans and the other dogs in his foster home.  This little cutie will certainly brighten up his new home.

Luke is a very special little dachshund who is being fostered in the Harrisson, Ohio area.  He seems to get a long well with everyone, human and animal,  He is current on all of his medical care.  He rides wonderfully in the car and likes to travel.He gets a long with other dogs.  Luke would like to have an owner to snuggle with.

Junior is a beautiful, red smooth, standard dachshund.  He is 3-4 years old. Jr. weighs 19 pounds and is current on all of his vet care.  He is very good with older children and other animals.  He is such a nice boy, who deserves a loving forever home.

It is hard to believe, but  someone  moved off and left this little red, dachshund in their home.  Fortunately, he was found before harm came his way.  He is a very happy, friendly, well-behaved dog.  It is just hard to understand how this could happen to him.  He doesn’t seem to have any problems and is even housebroken.  Sometimes is is just hard to figure out what some folks are thinking, when they just leave a loving pet.

Pico is now ready to go to a new ‘forever” home. as he is current on all of his veternarian care.

Susie is a terrific little love bug.  This little gal was found by the dog warden and taken to the local shelter.She was not claimed by her owner and was going to be put down.  Unfortunately the shelter just did not have room for another dog.
We  feel bad that her owner did not have an opportunity to claim as she is so sweet. and appears to have been loved.  (We think they may have give her a few too many treats, as she might need to loose a pound or two)  but it is hard not to spoil this little girl, with extra treats!
She is housebroken.  Susie will be a real pleasure to her new owner.

Hans and Lexi – Hans is a neutered male long-hair black and tan, and turned 8 years old on May 20. He is in good health and gets along well with all people and most dogs, but he cannot be in a home with cats. Hans is completely house broken except when left alone for long periods of time.

Lexie is a spayed female short-hair black and tan, and turned 7 on January 20. Lexie is more needy than Hans, as she was diagnosed with IVDD two and a half years ago. She was paralyzed for 6 weeks in September/October 2007 but made a near-full recovery. She still has a bit of “drunk rear-end” and can have trouble controlling her bathroom urges. She is otherwise house broken. Special care needs to be taken since she is at high risk for re-injury of her back. She can be nippy around small children, most dogs besides Hans, and cats, but loves teens and adults. Both Hans and Lexie are very affectionate dogs.
Their owner has lost her home and must relocate. This pair has been together since puppyhood and must stay together. They are living in the Cincinnati area.

Rusty -  Very handsome red long hair Dachshund, Male (N), approx. 19 lbs.,6 yrs. old, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm neg., on preventative.  Rusty loves spending time outside to run and explore in a fenced yard.  He would like a home with another dog near his size, not fond of larger dogs and would enjoy not having to share the attention with muiltiple pets.  Does not do well being caged, will tolerate it for short periods.  Would do well with older, gentle children.

Minnie – cute little dachshund mix, about 25 pounds. Minnie is spayed and up to date on shots. She is a fun-loving, high energy 2-3 year old who plays very well with other dogs.

His owner states that “he is not good with strangers”. With kindness and patience, Romeo should make a good pet. Romeo is living with his owner in Newark, Ohio.

Jack is a very nice  middleaged, little man, who needs his own person to spoil him.  He was one of many in his previous home and he loves being the “main man’   He needed a dental and did have some teeth extracted, however he is doing great now.    We have noticed that this particular family of dachsies, all had some gray hairs in their coats. regardless of their ages.  He is very pretty and shiney. Wouldn’t you love to have him spend some one on one time with you, as he loves to be held and cuddle?

He  is current on all  vet care
