Winslow

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 03:36:49 +0000

Winslow – a 5 ½ year old neutered male, about 16 pounds, shots up to date, housebroken. Winslow is quite friendly and affectionate, unfortunately he’s been diagnosed with PRA – progressive retinal atrophy. This is an hereditary aliment which causes total blindness for which there is no cure or treatment; thankfully there is no pain either. Blind dogs can function quite well by relying on their senses of smell and hearing. It helps if there is another dog in the family that they can tag around after – and Winslow loves other dogs. His family feels that they must give him up as they have very young children. He is living in foster care in the Cleveland area.

Lil’ Bit and Ginger

admin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 20:32:53 +0000

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

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.

Chloe

Chloe is such a sweet little gal, who unfortunately was picked up by the dog warden, in her city and was taken to a dog shelter. We feel that her owner must be grieving for this little 12 pound girl. She is in very good health; but did need a dental, which we did this week. She did loose 4 teeth; but we all know that a dog or even the dog’s owner, is better off without any bad teeth. She ate well, even on the day of her dental.

Whoever adopts Chloe will be a very happy person, when she comes to live with you.

Patches

This very pretty, little, 7 month old puppy came into rescue with her tiny little sister (Miss Peanut)Both of these girls are really nice puppies who are fun to watch as they play together.

She is doing well with her housebreaking. Someone will be very fortunate to add this little gal to their forever home.

Miss Peanut

admin — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:26:36 +0000

Miss Peanut is a tiny 5-6 pound dachshund pup who is 7 months old. We have her litter mate Patches in our rescue also. Because of her exceptionally small size we would like to see her go to a home with no small children. She loves to play in her fenced yard. She will need a very safe fence, as she is tiny enough to get through many fences.

The foster family is finishing housebreaking her. She still needs to be spayed, but we will see that this cute little dappled dog is spayed.

Max

admin — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:25:38 +0000

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.

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

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.

Pico

admin — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 17:14:30 +0000

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.
