Ivy
Dearest Ivy, AADR and your adopter mom are so sorry we could not save your battered soul from past abuses. Run free little one ... no longer trapped in your crippled body and the demons in your mind.

Lucy Mae Todd
I adopted Lucy (formerly Puppers) from Southern States Dachshund Rescue, now All American Dachshund Rescue, in 2007, when she was 18 months of age. She and I instantly bonded and on the ride home, she climbed out of her seat into my lap to snuggle. She was funny, smart, beautiful and especially loving. She loved her toys, and would frequently give them extra shakes or extra squeaks. I loved her dearly, and my mother was most likely accurate when she said I was Lucy’s favorite person in the whole world. She and my sister were my favorites. Except for a few issues early on, Lucy had good health. She last had her teeth cleaned in March 2020, had no decay and no infection, which was good, because Lucy was a “grinner”, and every time she saw someone she loved, she flashed those beautiful teeth in a big smile. That made my homecoming from any event special, because I knew she would give me that huge grin. In October 2020, my sister passed away unexpectedly. Lucy sensed how distraught I was, and would not leave my side. Had I not had Lucy, I don’t know how I could have handled such a huge loss. Sadly, in late spring 2021, Lucy quit smiling. I found a large ulcerated bleeding tumor on her left lower leg about that time. Because she was already over 15, and there was no margin for removal of the tumor, surgery would not have helped, except for amputation, if it had not spread. At her age, she most likely would not have made it during surgery. Lucy passed away peacefully in my arms at 2:33 pm on August 24, 2021. I know she loved me, and she knew she was loved. Thank you, AADR, for introducing this beautiful sweet girl to me, and for allowing her to be a part of my life and family all these years. - Laura Todd

Rosie RIP
Be with Mary Rosie she was your girl then and now

Clyde aka Oscar July 9, 2021
Oscar was a good companion. He loved and was loved by everyone - family, neighbors. He kept me moving, reminding me to take him for walks, by staring at me and following me around until I gave in. He did have his bad habits. He felt that anything that hit the ground was his to eat. When I finished a new puzzle, I was short five pieces at the end. My grandchildren called him "Oscar the goat". I did want you to know. He will be much missed by all. Beth H.
