2024 FP Photo_Maverick CashHe's looking for you, Ladies! 

Handsome 4 year old Maverick came from North Carolina when the family had a baby, and he was not adjusting to the new dynamics of the household. Maverick is on the nervous side so he will have to go a quieter home. He will bark at strangers coming into the home, but he is getting better. His adopter will have to understand that and give him time. He does want to protect his family. 

At his foster mom’s home, he sleeps in a kennel at night. He doesn’t like going into it but will after some coaxing. He wants to bond with the female of the family, which is why we feel he needs to go to a female-only home. There is a man in Maverick's foster family, and he’s timid of him and will bark. He is getting better but still needs work.

Our must-haves for adorable Maverick Cash are: - A  fenced yard  - A woman-only home 
 -A quiet home with few visitorsAbsolutely no apartments, condos, high-rises, or duplexes

If you are looking for a wonderful little boy and you are female, then look no further! Maverick will be the boy for you but understand no children or grandchildren, and if there is a man in your life, Maverick will not want anything to do with him. He’s a woman only kind a guy!

See more photos, find more information and apply here to adopt this handsome boy!

2024 FP Photo_LadySimply irresistable! Who doesn’t love a frosty face?

Lady was dumped at a shelter in East Tennessee when her owner went into a nursing home and no one in the family would take her.

Lady does take a bit to warm up to strangers. She was scared to death when she came to us but after she had time to decompress, she became a happy, lovely girl. Lady loves sleeping in her fluffy calming bed but would prefer to be with you in your bed, of course.  She also loves to share the recliner for a nap or to catch the latest movie.  This little lady will even play a little if you have another small dog but mostly, she wants to keep your lap warm.  But first, you must give her time to learn that you are ok and she is safe.

Lady doesn’t like the rain or snow so a puppy pad would be best for those days when she cannot go outside.

Our must haves for this sweet girl are:  - A fenced in yard   - Someone home most of the time  
- Another adult, small dog for her to pal around with  - No apartments or high rises as she will bark at strange noises

If you think you want to give this sweet, beautiful girl her forever home, please fill out our online adoption application.  We will contact you after we call your vet. Read more about her and see additional photos by visiting Lady's pet page, here!

2024 FP Photo_Clover 2Adorable Clover is a sweet boy who just needs a quiet, loving and care-giving home.

He was surrendered to us by a family that could no longer care for him. Clover had successful back surgery two years ago, and for that reason, he should never be allowed to jump on or off furniture or do any steps. Also, his weight must be maintained to prevent him from having back issues again. Please do not let this scare you. As with many dogs with previous back injuries, you will just have to be more careful. (You should always be careful with a Dachshund’s long back, even those with no history of spinal issues).

Clover has a very calm demeanor and would be great with another small dog who also wants to lead the laidback lifestyle.

Our must-haves for adorable Clover include: - A fenced yard  - Another small adult to senior dog to pal around with  - Someone who can be home more often than not would be great
- A home with no stairs or only a couple going out to the attached fenced area  
- No apartments, high-rises, condos, or duplexes

Please don’t let the back surgery scare you; he’s a sweet boy who needs you! See additional photos and details on Clover's Pet Page, here!

2024 FP Photo_Obie and BellTogether, they found comfort in each other - now all they need is YOU! 

Bell came from Tennessee, severely abused and unsocialized. Obie came from Arkansas, where he was abused but rescued by a Good Samaritan. When Obie arrived, he had no clue how to play, but Bell has gently taught him how to wrestle and play with her. They will run through the house or play in the yard together. It took a while as they both had to wrestle with their "internal demons", but through the process they bonded, and we, the rescue cannot break that up.

While they both have been waiting months for the right home to come along, we know that we may have to wait longer for the right home to adopt them together.

Bell will need time to trust her new owners, and Obie will need time to get familiar with the layout of the home and yard. And this little team will do it together! They sleep in the primary bedroom at night together in a doggie bed, never asking to come up on the big bed. When we must leave, they go into their own crates, which are located side by side.

We know this won’t be an easy adoption for anyone to take, but they are a true “rescue story.” Are you up to this incredibly rewarding challenge? You must have patience and know that in time, they will be the cherished pets they were always meant to be.

Our must-haves for his dynamic duo include:
- A fenced yard   - Someone who is home a lot or works from home    - A truly patient person or family (no small children)  - Not a first-time owner, must be an experienced dachshund owner     - No apartments, condos, duplexes, or high-rises

Please see additional photos and read more about this amazing bonded pair by visiting their pet page, here!

 We have Dachshunds at our Halfway House not yet listed on this site:
Some of our rescued dogs just aren't ready for adoption yet, usually due to the need for

care of medical attention. If we don't currently have "your" special dog consider filling out
an applicaton anyway. We will process your application so you will be
pre-approved when your special dog does come in. 
This way, you won't have to wait when you see the dachshund you want and he or she
will be in your home before you know it! If you don't see any dachshunds in your
exact location, don't let that discourage you! We have members and supporter all over
the country which allows us to have a wonderful volunteer transport system. We will make
our best effort to work with you on getting that special dachshund as close to you as possible!
