 Chewy, she's a beauty!
2 year old Chewy came from OH when her owner had to give her up because she was fighting with her female fur sibling and the owner was fearful of the outcome. Chewy was scared when she first came to us but once she knew us, she opened and is very friendly. She loves the male foster dog in the foster home and even plays with him. She really enjoys the fenced in yard and due to her young age and her love of the outdoors, we want her to have that fenced yard so she and her foster brother can play and run.
Chewy loves lap time and will beg to get in your lap if you are sitting at your computer or watching TV or just having quiet time.
Because she is a couple pounds overweight, we want someone who will commit to keeping her at her idea weight which we believe should be around 12 pounds, no more than that.
Our must haves for Chewy are:
- Fenced in yard
- Another small young MALE dog or two (no females or a submissive female)
- We also think she could be an only dog as long as you work from home or newly active retired person(s)
- Someone that can be home more than not
- No apartments, high rises or condos as she likes to bark when someone comes in the door
If you meet our requirements and wish to adopt Chewy, please go to our website and fill out our online adoption application. We do help with transports. Out of state adoptions east of the Mississippi River are welcome.
Please see more information and photos of Chewy by visiting her pet page, here!

 Petey The Sweetie!
BIO UPDATE (9/11/2025): Petey has completed his dental and doing very well in his foster home. He continues to love his walks around the neighborhood with the big dogs and boy does he enjoy playing with his toys. Petey hasn’t met anyone that he doesn’t like. He will shake his whole body to get the person or animal to pay him some attention. His weight has come down with his walking. Petey came into rescue at 35 pounds now weighs 29.8.
ORIGINAL BIO: Meet Petey! He loves everyone. Petey came into rescue from East Tennessee when the owners were moving and couldn’t care for him. Initially, Petey was scared and confused about what was going on, but he has really come around and is coming out of his shell. After his initial dental and weight loss, Petey is doing well.
This 6 year old guy is a sweetie! He enjoys his soft toys, going outside and following his nose, and walking on a leash. He loves his doggie beds and relaxing next to your feet. Petey likes being with the big dogs on our walks and relaxing with the other dogs in the house. He also does well with cats. Petey is crate trained and has figured out the doggie door.
Petey is a small standard and he is working hard to get the unhealthy pounds off. He will need someone to continue working with him to lose weight.
Our must-haves for Petey include:
- A fenced yard
- Another small dog to show him the ropes
- Someone who will continue to work with him on weight loss
- Someone who is home more often than not or works from home
- No apartments, high rises, condos etc.

We have Dachshunds in our system not yet listed on this site:
Some of our rescued dogs just aren't ready for adoption yet, usually due to
the need of medical attention. If we don't currently have "your" special dog,
please watch our website for new dogs added weekly.
If you don't see any Dachshunds in your exact location, don't let that discourage you!
We have members and supporters all over the country which allows us to
have a wonderful volunteer transportation network. We will make our best effort
to work with you on getting that special Dachshund as close to you as possible!
Please understand we can not adopt to the West Coast as that is just too far
to transport our dogs. Look for Dachshund rescues on the West Coast.
