Oh happy day! Grady has a forever home with a lovely couple and their red smooth female dachshund. The two dogs love playing together, and Grady enjoys lots of lap time as well as sleeping in the "big bed". His new owners said "we can't believe how easily this dog adjusted to us and our home!" The volunteers are all smiling as they think of Grady in his wonderful new life. That's what a rescue program is all about--finding permanent homes for each of the dogs that come through our program.

Aggie has a forever home with a wonderful couple and their two college-age sons. They had recently lost a beloved dachshund to old age and were ready for a new companion. They thought adopting a young adult dog might be a better fit than a puppy, and when they spotted Aggie's picture they immediately applied. Aggie loves her new home, where she is the "queen". She likes to go for walks, sit on laps and get attention from any and all visitors that come to the home. We were thrilled to shake Aggie's paw and saw "Congratulations, you have graduated from rescue!" We are grateful to her wonderful new family who chose adoption of a dachshund as a way to add a new friend to their home. Hurrah for Aggie!

Kamea went to her forever home with a lovely couple where she is going to be a much loved only dachshund. She has met a lot of the extended family and neighbors, and everyone remarks what a great dog she is. That's what we thought! She loves going for walks with her new owners, and she and her new owners even see the grandchildren off at the bus stop near their home. Hurrah for Kamea!

Patrick has found a new home with a lovely family. He loves children and in his new home he has four children to play with and two adults to love him. He has a dachshund buddy as well! Life is good for this former stray dog and we are thankful for his wonderful new home. The best part of the rescue program is seeing dogs like Patrick settled into new loving homes. We look forward to getting pictures of Patrick in his new home!

Oh happy day! Finnegan got the world's best home, with a long time dachshund owner and her two older dachshunds. She was ready for a new companion, and also wanted a dog that had the drive and intelligence to be trained for agility. We knew Finnegan was the right dog for this home! He is settling in beautifully and his new owner has wonderful things to say about him. Down the road, when he is competing in agility, we plan to be there at the finish line, cheering him on!

Little Cleo celebrated her first birthday in her new home! She has several other canine siblings in her new home and loves playing with them and investigating interesting things that turn up in her backyard.

We are so happy that this little dog has a home now where she is treasured and will always be loved. Happy birthday Cleo! You got the best present of all... a forever home!

Our wonderful Lila found a great new home with one of our former adopters. He had recently lost a beloved dachshund to medical complications, and wanted to bring a new girl into his home. Gentle, affectionate and low key Lila was the perfect dog. Now she has a new owner, and two dachshund buddies to hang out with. Re-named "Laura", she loves napping on the bed or couch with her new owner and going for walks with her new family. We all loved this dog, and were thrilled that she got a fantastic new home!

Our darling little Brandie finally found the "just right" home with a lovely couple and their male dachshund. She loves running races with her new brother all through the house--and the yard too! Plenty of squirrels are in her new yard....so she can put her hunting patrol duties to work! Her new family loves her sweet, affectionate nature and are thrilled with their new family member! We are so happy for Brandie, and her new family!

Courtney was adopted by a lovely individual who has an older, very sociable female dachshund. The two dogs hit it off instantly, and of course darling little Courtney bonded quickly to her new owner. Courtney even gets along with the cat that lives in the home! On adoption day, it was hard to say who was smiling more--the rescue volunteers or the new owner! Meanwhile Courtney and her new buddy ran all over the house, playing chase and having fun with various dog toys. We're so happy for Courtney!

Our favorite "spokesdog" Morrie found a forever home as a cherished "only" dog. He has already started attending an obedience class with his new owner, met friends and neighbors and established a routine of early morning walks. His owner says "you have brought a treasure into my life". How that warms our hearts! Congratuations to Morrie and his new owner!

Dignified, sweet-natured Scout found a wonderful new home with an adopter who has another dog from our program, along with a senior longhair dachshund.

We are thrilled that Scout has the forever home he deserves and his adopter has a wonderful new buddy. Hurrah for Scout!

Tiny little Duke found a wonderful, loving home with the couple who adopted "Cameron" not long ago. The two dogs are enjoying a great life with people who love dachshunds, and will give these two delightful dogs all the love and care in the world. We are thrilled for Duke, and we thank his adopters for looking to a rescue program as a way to find companion dachshunds for their home.

Precious has found a forever home with a lovely individual who had been seeking a longhair dachshund who would enjoy being an "only" dog. Precious was just the right dog, and has settled in beautifully to her new home - going on walks and visiting with friends and neighbors. Her new owner says "when I saw her picture on your site I just had a feeling that she was the right dog for me". And happily, that came to be! Hurrah for Precious, and thank you to her new owner for looking to adoption as a way to add a dachshund companion to her home.

Oh happy day for Mr. Tyke! He has found a forever home with a couple who have two dachshunds and a couple of other hound related dogs. Tyke gets to go to work every day with his mom and the other dachshunds, and he loves it! Tyke had a long stay with our group but he finally found the home that was right for him - and his owners found a great little dog for their home! Bravo, Tyke!

Cameron was adopted by a couple who had previously adopted from our foundation. Their previous rescue dachshund lived to a very old age, and then passed away. They were ready for a new buddy, and Cameron was a great match for their household. He has settled in well and the couple is delighted with their new dog. Cameron loves playing with his toys, and exploring the backyard - keeping it as a "squirrel free" zone. We are thrilled that this wonderful dog now has a home that will be his forever!

Bogart has a forever home, with a loving couple and their black and tan piebald female dachshund. The two dogs love to play and play, and when they are finally tired, they enjoy napping on the couch with their owners.

What a joy to see Bogart happily settled in a new home!

Kendall found a wonderful home with a lovely couple, and their black and tan dachshund female. Now the two dogs have each other to play with, and Kendall has a new name - "Bella".

Her new family adores her, and we are thrilled! Hurrah for Ruby!

We are thrilled to think of Zanna enjoying her new life where she will always be safe, loved and have great adventures. Who knows, maybe she and her owner will team up and write a guide on "dog friendly restaurants!"

Darling little Jazzi found a lovely home with a family and their charming Basset Hound. The two dogs get along beautifully and love to play together. When Jazzi isn't playing or exploring the backyard, she is curled up in someone's lap or playing with one of her toys. Life is good for Jazzi now, and seeing how happy she is in her new home - and how happy her new owners are with their new dog - just reinforces the value of what our volunteers do to help dogs find new homes! Bravo Jazzi - have a wonderful life with your new family!

A happy, happy day! Darby was adopted by a lovely young couple who already had another dachshund. They were looking for a playmate for "Jasmine", another dachshund in their family. They loved Darby's energy and playfulness, and she has settled beautifully into their home. Darby and Jasmine love to play, play, play and when they are tired they like to nap together. The happiest day for our volunteers is when we can see a rescue dog safely and happily settled into a loving, forever home. We thank her new family for looking to adoption as a way to add another dachshund companion to their home. Congratulations, Darby! We are so happy for you

That is great to hear. We are so happy for Paris, and we thank her new family for looking to adoption again as a way to find a loving dachshund companion for their home.

It's a happy day for Miss Honey. She found a wonderful adoptive home with two women who have told us "this dog was meant to be in our home".

We are thrilled that she found the right home, and that these two ladies found the right dog for their home. Everybody wins!

Cute little Joanie found a permanent home with one of our former adopters, who decided they were ready for a second dachshund. Their original dachshund "Grover" settled in nicely with his new buddy, and Joanie loves her new home. Her new family was impressed at how high this dog can leap into the air! Who knows? Maybe agility will be in her future. We are thrilled that Joanie has a permanent home! This is the outcome that all the volunteers work towards.

Sweet Dolly was adopted by a lovely couple who had three older dachshunds, and were looking for a younger dachshund companion to add to their household. Dolly's energy and personality were just right for this home. Her new family is enjoying Dolly's funny, energetic antics and are glad she is a member of their family. So are we! Now Dolly will have the "forever" home that she deserves!

When Blue arrived in our program, we already had an approved adopter waiting for a dog of this description. So she had the unusual situation of having a home waiting for her from just about the moment she arrived in the rescue program. Blue had needed vet work done plus her spay surgery and microchip completed while she was with us and finally - she was ready to be adopted by her new family. She is a cute, personable little dog and now has two people who love her plus a dachshund buddy and two big dog buddies. We are so happy for Blue - who now has the new name of "JJ".

Mr. Finney has found a wonderful, forever home with a lovely couple. Originally they thought they wanted a female dachshund, but when they met Finney and encountered his wonderful, funny little personality they knew he would be the right dog for their home. He gets to share his home with another dachshund and the two dogs are getting along very well. We are thankful for his new family; who chose to find their new companion through a rescue program. There are great dogs in rescue programs waiting for homes, and we know Finney will be a great ambassador for all rescue dogs.

Handsome Reagan found a wonderful forever home with a young professional couple who had another smooth dachshund male.

We are so happy for him and for his new family.

Cranberry was adopted by former adopters who have another female dachshund from this foundation. They spotted Cranberry's picture on our website, and were ready to consider another dachshund friend for their home. Their dachshund and Cranberry both had relatively similar types of personalities, so we thought they would do well together. They had a trial visit with Cranberry, and it was the right match! Now named "Rosie", our "Cranberry" will always be loved and treasured as the special dog that she is. We thank her new family for coming back to us again to adopt.

Little Ebby was adopted by a young professional couple who had been looking forward to adopting a dachshund. Ebby's sweet personality immediately captivated them; and she has settled in beautifully to their home.

Life long and prosper with your new family!

Sweet Aurora found a forever home with a lovely couple and their three dogs. She is settling in beautifully, and they have ordered her a custom fitted sweater. We're sure Aurora will love her new sweater, but she especially loves having a permanent home where she is valued and cherished. We appreciate her adopters for giving her a wonderful new life!

Little Wilson was adopted on New Year's Day, and was our official "New Year's Baby", so to speak. His new family reports that the initially shy dog has blossomed into a happy, outgoing dog whose tail never stops wagging. He loves to lead his doggie siblings on a walk, and is happily greeting visitors at the door. His new family says "thank you so much for bringing Wilson into our lives". And we thank his new family for looking to adoption as a way to add a new dog companion to their home. Hurrah for Wilson!
