Animal Success Stories

Happy Tales

Every one of these Dachshunds has been rescued by an angel...

Harley's Brave Journey   Harley's Story is a great inspiration to AADR because it shows that no matter how desperate the situation, saving one life makes the ultimate difference. DeeAnn, Harley's foster mom, has included her personal account with Harley's amazing story and where he is now.Harley was found homeless and sick. He only had a 50% chance of survival. Now he is living a life of true happiness and contentment. Read More...

Zelda #2...GA

Miss Zelda is doing wonderful. I can't believe it has been almost a month that she has been with us. She has blended in so well, I feel like she has been with us her entire life. She is so well- behaved and so smart. She had her wellness check last Saturday, and she was so at ease at the vet office. Her check up went very well and she is very healthy. I've attached a few pictures from the last month. On a couple of pictures she is with Dudley, our three year old dachshund, who is her best buddy! Thank you. Nancy

Bijou...FL

Tootsie (Bijou) is doing great. She is my new little best friend. She is very afraid still, not of me, but of the outside. The birds singing or the wind just makes her want to pull back to the house. If you have any helpful hints on that I would love to hear them. She is still nervous around my husband and will run to be by my side if he is here, but she is not hiding anymore, so that is a big step for her. If I am not home, she now will sit on the couch even if he is there, another huge step for her. Tootsie gets along great with our older dog, they stay to themselves for the most part, but when I came home the other day, Tootsie was found lying by Remy's side!! Yea!!! ...We love her to pieces, she is so precious. Hopefully someday I will be able to take her places with me and she won't be afraid of her surroundings. No hurry though, we have lots of patience and if she prefers to stay home, that is where she can stay. I am attaching a couple of pictures. One as the queen she is on my bed's pillows with her new toys. Her stern look is because she is a little possessive with her new toys, doesn't want them taken away. She will get it one day that this whole house is hers and no one will take it away. :)

Angel #11...VA
Angel #11...VA

We actually adopted both Angel & Breeze. We have altered their names slightly - Angell and Breezie. They are doing wonderful; very happy and healthy. They had their first vet visit and came out with clean bills of health. They are now established with our vet and both have started on their heartworm preventive. They are also both enrolled in Trupanion Health Insurance plans. We are feeding them "Blue Buffalo" (puppy & adult food) along with some treats here and there. They are not morning babies - they will get up and go out to potty, then right back to bed. They prefer to eat later in the morning (Smile). They are both so playful and happy, such cuddlebugs. We believe they know they are in their forever home. They love to run and play in the house and the back yard. We have been trying to socialize them, more so Breezie, as often as we can to help her overcome her skittishness and fear of people. It will take time, but I think she will get there. We will be happy to send you some photos of both the girls. They are so wonderful and we are so grateful for AADR for rescuing them and allowing us to adopt them.

Delilah

Delilah is doing great! I can't even imagine life without her now. She is one of the most bravest dogs I have ever seen and being blind you would never know it. She knows her way around the house now and even the back yard. She is such a cuddle bug and sleeps with me every night. She really did good from the very beginning and we bonded quickly. She loves my daughter too. I'm attaching some photos. The one where she is drinking out of my cup - I had left the room for 2 minutes and had actually put her on the floor when I got up and when I came back - there she was drinking out of my soda! I've also caught her standing on the back of the couch and had to run and get her down. I think she could definitely be a circus dog! LOL.

Tanner #3...NJ
Tanner #3...NJ

Tanner (now called Danny) is doing great. I did send his foster mom a few emails when I first adopted him. He is sweet, playful, and lovable. He gets along well with my cats. And he loves to sleep in the big bed. He keeps getting closer and closer to me to the point where I get out of bed and sleep on the other side. He really is a great little boy. I don't want to compare him to my last AADR dachshund, who was the best dog ever. I'll try to get pics and send them along.
