 Looking for patience, love, and an understanding; this little guy wants to be the pet he should have always been.
Cody is a small, 4 year old, retired breeder dog and he will need time to adjust to being a pet. It is very important that he goes to a home with another well-socialized small dog that he can learn from what it’s about to be a pet and not to be afraid of new things. If you are truly looking to “rescue” a pet, Cody is your guy.
He will need patience, love, and an understanding that this will not happen overnight. It would be really great if someone with breeder dog experience would come forward to adopt him. Yes, it’ll take work and time, but the rewards are great when you see the first time he wags his tail at you, or comes running when you get home, or better yet, when he climbs in your lap. He is the true rescue story. So if you have what it takes, please apply, but if you just are not sure you want to take on a project like Cody, please pass on him. BUT if you do, you won’t regret your decision and will make his days so much brighter.
Our must-haves for precious Cody include:
- Must have another young, small, well-socialized dog for him to play with and learn from, or can be an only dog if adopter has “breeder dog” experience
- A fenced yard - Someone who is home more often than not
- Someone willing to put in the work to make him the pet he wants to be
- No apartments, high-rises, or condos

 Rebel, our 7 year old, very sweet Dachshund/Mini Pinscher mix with lots of love to give.
Ok, so I am not a pure-bred Dachshund, but I more than make up for it in sweetness.... Just ask my foster mommy! Can I help it if I was abandoned and not wanted by my last owner when she left the home that was graciously offered to her and me? But she did not want me after she left, and I don't know WHY? I am housebroken to the max, sweet as can be, AND I patty-cake to beg you for something, including your attention, so WHY?
I’m looking for that special someone who will give me a home until the end of my life, whenever that is, but I promise you I’ll give you tons of devotion, loyalty, and love. So, what are you waiting for? I need you, and I know you need me.
What I need is:
- A fenced yard
- Someone who is home more often than not
- I would like another adult small dog to be friends with, but I can be an only dog if you are home with me all the time
- Most important: I want your bed and you to sleep with.
- No apartments or high-rises
If you are looking for a companion, then the organization highly recommends Rebel as the dog you should adopt. He loves attention and will beg for it. He came in from east Tennessee and would love a home anywhere that will treat him better than he was treated when his owner walked out on him. Please consider Rebel, you will NOT be sorry you did!

Understand The Pack mentality? Standard sized, wired hair, Winston, is looking for you and a female dog playmate in a quiet home.
Winston came from Georgia when the owner could no longer keep him due to family issues. Winston was not well socialized and is anxious about loud noises and strangers. For this reason, we had him in training to help him with new people and everyday situations. We want to keep him in neighboring states so he can be picked up from the trainer, and she can help them should they need help with him if he backslides.
In his foster home, he is a great dog, happy, and loves to play with his foster people and the foster female. We are unsure about male dog. He is a small standard wire, and we think he would do great with another small to medium-sized female.
Our must-haves for adorable Winston include:
- A fenced yard
- small-to-medium-sized, young female to play with
- Someone who understands the pack mentality
- No apartments, high-rises, condos, or anything with shared walls
Please see more information and additional photos of Winston here!

 They say Aces are wild. Your buddy, Ace, is just a young, energetic goof-ball full of love!
Hi, Ace here! I wanted to give you a little update on how I am doing. I am getting to play every day with my Foster Sister and having so much fun! Every now and then she lets me know that she doesn't want to play, and I back off. When we take a break from playing, I get to snuggle with my Foster Siblings under a blanket and I just love it. I don't stay long because something always distracts me, and I just have to check it out. As my Foster Mom says, I am nosy, or you could say a lot curious.
I like it here but would really like to find my furever home. I want someone who will love me forever because I will love them forever! I really like to play, so I need a brother or sister who will play with me. And look at me... why wouldn't you want someone this handsome?!
Must haves:
- Fenced in yard
- Another small to medium young dog for him to play with or he can be an only dog only if you are willing to play with him - Someone home more than not - No condos, high rises or apartments due to possible barking
- No children under the age of 10.
If you are interested in knowing more about Ace fill out our online adoption application and we’ll be happy to talk to you about this youngster. You can see his original bio, additional information and more pictures of Ace by visiting his personal pet page here!

We have Dachshunds in our system not yet listed on this site:
Some of our rescued dogs just aren't ready for adoption yet, usually due to
the need of medical attention. If we don't currently have "your" special dog,
please watch our website for new dogs added weekly.
If you don't see any Dachshunds in your exact location, don't let that discourage you!
We have members and supporters all over the country which allows us to
have a wonderful volunteer transportation network. We will make our best effor
to work with you on getting that special Dachshund as close to you as possible!
Please understand we can not adopt to the West Coast as that is just too far
to transport our dogs. Look for Dachshund rescues on the West Coast.
