This Boy is SWEET!
Handsome guy, Myles, is a 4-year-old male black and tan. A former breeder dog, Myles is still learning how to trust people and other dogs but has come a long way since arriving at his foster home. He follows the other dog in his foster home around all the time and has learned a lot from her. Because of that, Myles must go to a home with another dog who he can continue to learn from. Once he feels comfortable with you, he'll follow you around, too, and will want to be with you. Myles would make a great addition to a family with older children and a dog he can hang out with. He’s a very sweet dog; he just needs a little time to feel comfortable with his new family. But he will get there!
Our must-haves for handsome Mr. Myles include - A fenced yard - A home without small children - A home without male dogs - A small, young, adult, well-socialized female dog to be his buddy
- Breeder dog experience is a plus - No apartments, high-rises, or condos
Please see more information and additional photos of Myles by visiting his Pet Page, here!

Are you up for lots of Zoomies?
Tobi came from Maryland when his owner had to work too many hours to give him the time he needed, so they contacted us to help find him a home.
Tobi loves toys to the point that he will protect them, so if you have another dog, there could be a scuffle over the toys. Tobi, however, would also good as an only dog if you work from home or are a stay-at-home person.
It’s important that you can keep up with his energy level because he loves zoomies and playing catch when you throw the ball - just don’t expect him to bring it back, you have to work for it! He is young so keep in mind you have to be young enough to keep him happy. Could that be you? Maybe you need a jogging buddy?
Tobi is good with strangers as long as the proper introductions are made. He doesn’t really care for a man with a hat on.
Tobi does have some separation anxiety, which is why he may do better with a younger small dog to play with and keep him company if you do have to go out.
Our must-haves for adorable Tobi include: - A fenced yard - Someone who is home more often than not - A submissive young small female dog to play with and pal around with - No apartments, condos, townhomes, or high-rises; shared walls would not be good
If you meet all these requirements, please go to Tobi's Pet Page, here, to see more about him and fill out our online adoption application.

This adorable younster needs patience and lots of love
Spencer came from Alabama when his owner was being evicted, and a Good Samaritan took him so he would have a soft landing. Unfortunately, he was not well-socialized as a puppy and, therefore, is timid around strangers. He has gotten much better since being in rescue, but the new adopters will need time and patience for him to come around. He has just had so many changes in so little time. He will make a wonderful pet and companion if you give him a chance!
Our must-haves for adorable Spencer include: - A fenced yard - Another young, small dog for him to play with and learn from - Someone more of a quiet homebody - Someone willing to take the time with Spencer so he can learn to trust and become a pet - Please, no apartments, high-rises, or condos; he would be very uncomfortable in these situations
As you can see from one of the additional pictures, he’s dressed to the “nines” and has nowhere to go yet! Could it be to your home? Read more about Spener and see additional photos by visiting his Pet Page, here!

Simply 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 - 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!

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 supporters all over the country which allows us to have a wonderful volunteer transportation system. We will make our best effort to work with you on getting that special Dachshund as close to you as possible!
