BEING FOSTERED IN Western NY State.......

Casey was adopted but a year later returned to us. They said they can't keep her in their fence so we think a privcy fence will be what will keep this girl from being an escape artist. They said she is just absolutely wonderful with babies and toddlers. Please please give CASEY now named RUBY home she deserves and help to keep her safe.
We received a call from a vet saying a dachshund had been brought in that was in critical shape from starvation and asking if we would take her into rescue. Turns out her owners had gone on a trip and left her and did not return. Neighbors weren't sure how long she was alone before she finally broke free of the fence. For several days, she was supported on IV fluids while she was very slowly introduced to solid food again. It took almost two weeks before she could come home. She's now been spayed. Unfortunately, she was heartworm positive so she has had to endure that treatment but she's come through with flying colors and is almost ready for her forever home with someone who won't desert her. She's a loving little girl who still has a big appetite. When she doesn't feel well, she puts her face in her foster mom's hand and wants her face held. The good news is that she shouldn't have to feel bad anymore.
WE WILL NOT SHIP OUR DOGS CARGO, TOO MANY HORROR TALES HAVE HAPPENED FOR US TO FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING THIS. IF WE CAN'T TRANSPORT BY LAND THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO FLY TO THE CITY THAT THE DOG IS BEING FOSTERED IN TO GET HIM/HER. Out of state and Canadian adoptions are welcome. We have several transporters that for a fee will bring the dog as close to you as possible up the Eastern seaboard or down to FLORDIA. A home visit is required on all adoptions. We also micro chip all our dogs and must pass the cost on to the adopter. It is only $10.00. Thank you for your interest in a rescue.To fill out an application for this dog please go to www.ssdr.org and fill out an app. we will be in touch shortly to do a phone interview. It is also best to have a dog in mind that you would like to adopt or if you don't please let us know that you'd like a dog that best fits your lifestyle. Keep in mind that we are all volunteers and have other obligations so please let your references and vet know that we will be calling to vai all info that you put on your application. If you use two vets then please let us know that so we get all info on your dog possible to determine if you are a suitable home for our dog. If you do not let us know these things this maybe the factor that you will be turned down to adopt one of our dogs.

Good with Dogs, Good with Kids

AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund's back or get bitten.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast and mid-west. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. For now, please look for dogs on your coast.
