Mr Beaux, RIP
Beaux, aka Mr. Beaux... We adopted Beaux a little over 6 years ago from AADR. He immediately bonded with our youngest dachshund Darcy. They were best buds from the time he came into our home. He also became my shadow, he would follow me around the house or was in my lap whenever I sat down. He was also our security alarm when he saw anyone or anything outside the house. His bark was a "big dog" bark! He brought us so much joy and laughter. We would get small glimpses of what he was like when he was younger. He would strut up to a toy and just when he was about to pick it up he seemed to remember he had almost no teeth to pick it up. :( It was sad and funny at the same time, he just wanted to play with it. He would also get the zoomies every once in a while which was hilarious. He was also the softest dachshund, we called him our little stuffed animal you just wanted to squeeze him... His other favorite past time was laying out in the sun on our deck. We will truly miss our "little old man", we just wish we had him for his entire 16 years! Thank you AADR for letting us adopt such a sweet and special dog. Janan & Chris

Edward, RIP 9/20/2023
My precious baby boy Edward has crossed the rainbow bridge. He was the light of my life. My baby boy greeted me every day at the front door and brought me so much love and happiness that my heart could explode. I miss my Edward beyond words and can’t wait to see him again on the rainbow bridge. I love you so much, my sweet Edward! Kerrie C.

Mikey RIP 9/21/2023
He was such a HUGE blessing to me and my Mom. So laid back and nothing-phases-me attitude was so, so not typical. He only barked when I cooked. He loved everyone he met and they him. Though we only had him 2 years and 8 months, he lived like a King. Even his Dr referred to him as a little prince. He had a bed in every room of the house, a new fenced backyard, new screen doggy door installed, his prescription dog food, eye drops, and eye gel to keep him healthy and happy. He loved sleeping in the big bed and was quickly a momma’s boy. He loved riding in the car in his raised car seat where he could watch all the cars and traffic. He never cried except when I was preparing his food and this morning after I took him in my arms after a night in the ER away from me. I am so thankful to all of you for making him part of my life. It’s never long enough no matter how long we have them. He will forever be in my heart. I am completely heartbroken as you can imagine. Once I have an opportunity to grieve I may be back to help save another. Maddie

Trent Ready RIP 2023
Sweet, handsome Trenton received his wings on Tuesday 9/5/2030. He was special to say the least: Cute, smart, comical and loving. He fought the good fight but it was time for his suffering to end.

Oscar MW RIP 09/03/2023
Gulf of Mexico is where our precious baby spent his last seven years with us. We adopted him when we lived in the mountains of North Carolina and he lived there for many years with us. Then we bought a condo on the Gulf and made that are permanent home. Our precious Oscar went from being born in a meth house to living his last year’s in paradise. He loved to lay out in the sun on the deck with his brother and sister. He has been such a wonderful companion. He liked it when I sang him the Oscar Meyer Wiener dog song you probably have to hear it to understand! It is the song that I sang to him all the way back from Tennessee to North Carolina when we adopted him. We also called him Casanova eyes because he had these beautiful brown piercing eyes. That would just melt you. As a matter of fact, when I was on the website, I actually was looking at another dog, and I saw him in the background and I swear to this day he was looking into my very soul. And thanks to everyone who played such an Intercal part in us being able to adopt Oscar. He was as perfect as a baby can be. I called them all my babies. We don’t use the word dog in this family they are our babies. He absolutely loved his squeaky toys until he lost all of his teeth and he could no longer chew them so I think right now he is in heaven with the biggest squeaky toy that you could possibly imagine . He is in heaven with more of our babies. I have been involved in dachshund rescue literally for as long as I can remember. Oscar was one of the sweetest babies in the world. He will be missed more than I can possibly say. I encourage anyone and everyone that might be thinking about adoption. Don’t think about it just do it! Your life will be so much richer and happier if you would just adopt one of these beautiful dogs. They know what you do for them they truly understand, going from unimaginable horrors to the love and comfort of a forever home. Please adopt you will never be sorry!
