Scarlett
Scarlett passed away at her forever home. This was a letter her new owner and her were composing to send to SSDR. They got the letter finished but she took ill and passed before it could be sent. RUN FREE MS. SCARLETT WE'LL SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE.... I just wanted to say thank you for your faith and willingness to invest in me when it looked as I might not make it another night. It’s nice to know I have such wonderful friends at SSDR. I’ve really enjoyed the past 6-8 months, but I’m very happy to have my very own place again. I love my new daddies and they love me. Tanner and Lacy are my new brother and sister. They are absolute sweethearts. We have this huge bed that we all crawl in together — there are even covers! We like to make tunnels in the sheets and blankets and try to find our way out. We could fit five more wieners in that bed, but daddy says he’s not ready for that. Diane told daddy that I need soft food, so he stocked up on the canned stuff. As he opened the pantry, I glanced around and saw all those cans! I didn’t think my tongue could hang out any more than it does, but it did. Boy oh boy, did I hit the jackpot this time. If I could just figure out how to get that door open myself…… I’ve barked for some time now. As you know things are multiplied x7 in doggie time. I’m not a spring chicken anymore, so I need to go climb in that big bed again. Thank you for posting my picture on the web and allowing my star which has long been tarnished to shine once more. I have enjoyed my 15 minutes of fame. Because of the generosity and love shown to me during my time with those associated with Southern States Dachshund Rescue, those minutes will become years. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. I’m forever so grateful. Love, Scarlett

We are so sorry we thought we were saving you for a better life not to parish in a fire. We look forward to seeing you again at the RainBow Bridge, we love you and miss you, SSDR.

A FAITHFUL DOG
We are not able to save every dachshund and this page is dedicated to the ones we lose. A faithful dog will play with you and laugh with you -or cry- he'll gladly starve to stay with you nor ever reason why, And when you're feeling out of sorts somehow he'll understand he'll watch you with his shining eyes and try to lick your hand. His blind, implicit faith in you is matched by his great love - the kind that all of us should have in the Master, up above. When everything is said and done I guess this isn't odd for when you spell "Dog" backwards you get the name of God. Author unknown
