Reids Molly...OH

This is our Molly! She has been " OUR MOLLY" for 17 days now..We first met Molly on a transport back in Dec. We were so excited to be a part of getting this sweet little face to her forever home. We became very attached to Molly during this transport and found ourselves very jealous of her new family. We knew they were getting a true gem. At one point my husband and I joked about dog knapping..isnt that terrible..LOL. We watched for every update on the days leading up to the transport and during. Molly was described and being very shy and scared. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. AS soon as we picked up Molly she rolled over for a belly rub and covered me in some of the stinkiest doggie kisses I have ever had. ( IT WAS TERRIBLE) But I was so happy she was not scared I welcomed each stinky kiss and rubbed her belly for the next 3 hours. By the time the hand off came, I just felt sick.. I knew she was going to get her forever home, but I so wanted it to be me. At one point she even tried to get back in my car ( punch to the gut). When we returned home later that evening, I again checked the updates to make sure Molly made it home. She had! But it said " Thank you for all of your help getting Molly to her new foster home". I clearly missed something! Silly as it sounds I started crying and in a matter of seconds was on the phone putting my application in to bring her home. 3 weeks later we did. It was the happiest 5 hour drive. During our 3 weeks apart we learned that Molly was rescued 3 years ago from a Puppy Mill and adopted. My first question of course was WHY would someone adopt her and then send her back? She had to have terrible behavioral issues. No, not the case. She was sent back because she was still having accidents in the house. ( UH..? Dachshund?) We also learned that in those 3 years Molly was never vetted properly..her shots were behind, and worst of all..her teeth. Before we could pick Molly up she had to have surgery to have 9 teeth removed. Gee...do you think that is why her breath was so horrible? I am happy to report that today Molly's bad breath is gone! She has brought so much joy to this family, but most of all me. She is my buddy and goes with me just about everywhere I go. She sleeps in my bed and insists on having her belly rubbed multiple times a day..we love it! Her crate is still in the back of my mini van from the day we picked her up. It has never been used here and she is doing wonderful going out to use the potty. Yes, she has had accidents but ya know what? Its the rain! She will not go out if it is wet.. I am thinking Molly needs a raincoat and some snazzy boots! Thank you A.A.D.R for everything you do and for our Molly..we could not imagine our home without her.

Twinkle...TN

Hi there, I apologize for the delayed response. LUCY (formerly known as Twinkle from MI) is doing wonderfully. She responds to her name & is catching on to peeing outside. She is such a little love-bug. I've attached a photo & will try to check in as often as possible. Thank you for reaching out. Kind regards, Cindy, Tessa & *LUCY

Prissy 2..OH

Angie, I am sorry I haven't replied to your e-mail sooner. The holidays were busy and then we were getting ready to head for Florida. Yes, Prissy is with us here in Florida and we love her bunches. She adapted so well and she just loves to be close to us, so yes, she is in her forever home. I will take some pictures and send a more detailed letter soon. Thanks for keeping in touch and please keep up the good work...so many Daschunds need you!! Sincerely...Bev

Lucy...AR

It has truly been amazing just how fast Lucy has adjusted to forever home. It feels like she has been a part of the family all along. She is the sweetest most loving dog I have ever been around. She meets me at the door when I come home from work with her tail wagging, and sits on my chair with me and loves giving lots of kisses. She has become a great companion not only for my wife and I but also our older dachshund Cocoa. I have sent a few pictures of them together. They love to snuggle up together in the blanket when they sleep at night, and have been getting along great. We couldn't have asked for a better addition to our family, we are truly blessed to have adopted Lucy. Oh and she absolutely loves her walks. She demands to go on at least two walks a day. So my wife takes her on a walk in the morning, and I take her on her afternoon walk. She now has her own personal pink walking harness just for her walks. I have attached a couple of pictures of her in her new home and I hope you can use them. I just wanted to thank everyone at AADR for rescuing our princess Lucy and for all the work that went into our adoption of her. AADR is a great organization and once again I just wanted to say thank you. Let me know if you would like any more pictures or updates. Thank you, John Carney

Willow 4...MD

Willow is doing great, she has adjusted very well, she loves sleeping late in the big person bed and loves to snuggle, and we are working on her obsessive licking and she is getting better with this. Our other dachshund, Barney loves her a well, he just needs to learn to share the toys, even hers. The only issues we have had are learning where and when to go potty, despite me taking her out several times a day in the beginning she would hold it to come in side, but i think she is getting a hold of the idea now. So far so good, here is a picture of her and barney (barney was a sudo rescue from a family who was looking to down size the number of dogs they had) Thank you for checking up on her
