Happy and Giggles come as a
pair and can not be separated. Happy is Giggle's uncle and they
have been together since puppyhood. When their humans had to move across
country they came to live here at DachsieHaven.
These two need to go to a
home with dachshund experience. They are two very strong willed dogs and
will take advantage of an owner that is not firm with the house rules.
Due to lack of training and discipline both of them had guarding and
stranger aggression issues when they first came to DachsieHaven. Since
coming into rescue these issues have been dealt with and they no longer
nip at strangers. We are presently working on the barking/guarding at
the front fence. Happy is the more happy and outgoing of the pair while
Gig is much more shy and timid. Originally Gig's timid nature made his
fear aggression with strangers more acute.
These boys just love
children and had young children in their previous home. Their energetic
and playful nature would make another home with kids ideal. They are a
rough and tumble pair and Happy likes nothing better than a game of
fetch or tug-a-rope. Both of them think they are mini lap dogs and will
hop up on your chair at the first opportunity. Happy will sleep on his
pillow next to the bed but Giggles is much more content to be up
sleeping with his humans. |

Coco |
 |
Size: Mini approx 10 lbs
Age : approx 6 years
Sex: Female
Coat: Smooth
Color: Red |
|
Coco is a special needs
darling. She was diagnosed with IVDD and had spinal surgery over two
years ago. She was one of the unlucky ones where the surgery and rehab
therapy did not work. Coco is paralyzed in the rear and uses a cart most
of the time to get around. She came with her own cart that doesn't fit
her well. She borrows Jake's cart a lot but we are presently trying to
raise money for a set of properly fitted Eddie's Wheels (like in the
picture). Her back problems have left her mobility challenged but this
does not slow our little spitfire down one bit. She keeps up with the
pack as well as any other dachshund. This little girl is an absolute
doll with an attitude. She likes things her way. Coca has no bladder or
bowel control and must be expressed regularly throughout the day. She
does wear diapers but when she gets tired of them she will shed them.

All adoptions require
an application, interview and home visit. Adoption fees are part of all
adoptions. Fees help to cover the cost of maintaining the rescue and
paying for vet care for those that come in in bad shape.
If the dog is not
already spayed/neutered a refundable deposit will be required to be
returned upon proof from vet of spay/neuter.
All dogs are not
suitable for all homes. Some dogs can not be placed in homes with
children or cats or other types of dogs. |
