Story
LUCKY IS IN HIS FOSTER HOME IN MEMPHIS, TN AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO CT ONCE HE IS ADOPTED!    Lucky is his name, and he has EARNED it. This parvo survivor is a 5-6 month old mixed breed puppy. His mom was a dachshund, and his dad is a complete guess. He is only 20 lbs, and we don't expect him to get much bigger. He loves other dogs and children, but Lucky is afraid of cats. He is working on house breaking with a few accidents here and there, but he is currently training being taken out often and especially after eating. He will pick it up soon! He loves balls and toys. His favorite thing to do is get up in your lap and cuddle when he is tired.   Lucky is fully vetted including neuter, microchip, puppy shots as well as rabies shot. His adoption fee of $550 includes the transport to CT. We use a licensed and registered USDA transport company that will bring Lucky up north after he is adopted.  To apply to adopt Lucky, go here:  http://www.newbeginningsanimalrescue.net .    Any Questions, email us at newbeginnings_animalrescue@yahoo.com .  THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING ADOPTING A RESCUED PET!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 1:30 pm

Story
Daisy is a 15-year-old, quiet little girl with soulful eyes, who is bonded with Rufus. Both pups can take time to warmup, but once they know you, they are sweet and loving. Daisy is the more laidback of the two but can be led astray by her brother from time to time! They are hoping for a quiet home with experienced owners, and no young children. Environment They are crate trained and house trained too. The pair prefer doing their business and getting exercise in their own back yard, so a fenced yard will be needed. They don't necessarily need someone who works from home since they are fine in their crates.   Pets & People Daisy prefers the company of Rufus, and the pair would do fine as the only dogs in the home. However, they are accepting of other dogs as long as introductions are done slowly and approached with love and patience. Separation should continue at mealtimes as she isn’t shy about taking other dogs’ food. With new people it’s a similar story—she needs time and patience. Once she accepts you, she just wants to be petted and loved. Health Daisy is deaf and has a heart murmur for which she is receiving palliative care. Rufus is important to her as her bonded partner and as her "emotional support animal". The cardiologist recommended a diet free of legumes (currently eats Royal Canin Mature Adult). Luckily, she takes her medicine very easily, but should be sedated for vet care or stressful situations.  Location Daisy and Rufus are available for adoption from Wheaton, MD. They are a little whiny in the car but will quiet down eventually.  Please email doxelovr@gmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the link above. The adoption fee for Daisy has been waived due to her health and comfort care requirements.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 4:05 pm

Story
Rufus is a 15-year-old dachshund who is bonded with Daisy. Both pups take time to warmup, but once they do, they are sweet and loving. They were rescued from a shelter and are in search of a quiet home with experienced owners, and no young children.   Environment Both are crate trained and house trained too. Rufus especially loves to run, and sniff unfettered, as a result, this pair will need a fenced yard to get their exercise. They don’t necessarily need someone who works from home since they are fine in their crates. They both enjoy snuggling in their beds and relaxing in an open crate.   Pets & People Rufus prefers the company of Daisy, and the pair would do fine as the only dogs in the home. However, they are accepting of other dogs as long as introductions are done slowly and approached with love and patience. Separation at mealtimes is a good idea as he is a big eater and isn’t shy about taking other dogs’ food. With new people it’s a similar story—he needs time and patience. However, once he becomes familiar, he will steal your heart with his beautiful face and loyal nature.  Location Rufus and sister Daisy are available for adoption from Wheaton, MD. They are a little whiny in the car but will quiet down eventually.  Please email doxelovr@gmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the link above. The adoption fee for Rufus is $200.00    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 4:05 pm

  Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. &#226&#151&#143 Energy level: medium &#226&#151&#143 Potty trained: yes &#226&#151&#143 Fenced yard needed: would like, but not necessary &#226&#151&#143 Shared walls ok: yes &#226&#151&#143 People: all, including children &#226&#151&#143 Dogs: great with others &#226&#151&#143 Other: on prescription diet for bladder stones   Overview Meet Bella, a delightful approximate 14-year-old red short-haired dachshund looking for her perfect retirement home. At 19 pounds, this sweet lady has plenty of love to give and proves that age is just a number! She's a resilient soul who's ready to become someone's cherished companion.   Environment Bella is seeking a home where she can enjoy a perfect balance of gentle activity and cozy relaxation. She's house-trained and does wonderfully in any living situation, though she'd appreciate a yard for casual exploring. A true homebody, Bella prefers to have company around as she can get a bit anxious when left alone. She's happy left to her own devices and walks beautifully on a leash, making her an adaptable companion for various lifestyles.   Bella’s foster says: “She is so sweet and so resilient. Would make a great companion to sleep in bed at night and take along anywhere as long as you don’t mind taking your time walking.”   Pets & People Bella is a social butterfly who does great with everyone she meets! She lived with children in her previous home and has proven to be wonderful with people of all ages. In her foster home, she's been amazing with the other dogs, confidently finding her place in the pack. While she gets along with all dogs, she would likely prefer a calmer household with senior dogs or even being an only dog where she can soak up all the attention.   Health Bella is in good health for her age, though she does require a prescription diet to manage bladder stones. She has a few lumps that the vet has identified as harmless fatty lipomas. Like many of us, she's working on losing a couple of pounds, but that just means more opportunity for gentle walks with her new family!   Location Bella is available for adoption from Morrisville, NC. She's a wonderful car passenger, making travel a breeze. Please email caitlin.simmons18@gmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. Her adoption fee will be $250.00. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 22, 2024, 9:34 am

Story
&#226&#151&#143 Energy level: low (on crate rest) &#226&#151&#143 Potty trained: needs assistance &#226&#151&#143 Fenced yard needed: no &#226&#151&#143 Shared walls ok: no &#226&#151&#143 People: all &#226&#151&#143 Dogs: friendly with small dogs &#226&#151&#143 Other: special needs with mobility and bladder expression   Overview Meet Printz, a sweet 5-year-old red smooth coat dachshund who's looking for a special family to cherish him. At 17.2 pounds, this loving boy proves that good things come in medium packages! Despite facing some mobility challenges, Printz maintains a wonderfully positive attitude and has a heart full of love to share.   Environment Printz is seeking a patient and nurturing home where someone can be present most of the time, as he gets a bit anxious when left alone. While he's currently on crate rest due to a back injury and needs help with mobility, he still enjoys the simple pleasures in life. He does well walking with assistance using a sling and is perfectly content in homes without a yard. He's well-behaved in his crate when his family needs to step out, but he can be vocal so shared walls are probably not a good idea. His reasonable energy needs and gentle nature make him an excellent companion.   Pets & People Printz is a very loving dog who thrives on human connection and wants nothing more than to be near his person. While initially shy, he quickly warms up to show his affectionate personality. He's a social butterfly with other small dogs and does very well in multi-dog households, but is untested with children or cats. He can be vocal around larger dogs, but this is likely due to his size and mobility situation. He's gentle when taking treats and very food-motivated, which makes him easy to bond with.    Health Printz has some special medical needs that require a dedicated family. He currently needs assistance with bladder and bowel expression due to his back injury. He can take trazodone as needed to help manage any discomfort or anxiety. His mobility requires some extra support, and he uses a sling to help him walk comfortably. These needs are manageable with the right care routine, and his sweet personality makes it all worthwhile.   Location Printz is available for adoption from Lexington, SC. Due to his special needs, he would prefer a home within a reasonable driving distance, as he can find long car rides challenging.

Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying.   &#226&#151&#143 Energy level: moderate   &#226&#151&#143 Potty training: needs bladder expression due to IVDD &#226&#151&#143 Fenced yard: optional but supervised   &#226&#151&#143 Shared walls: not suitable   &#226&#151&#143 People: adults only   &#226&#151&#143 Dogs: all   &#226&#151&#143 Other: mobility assistance needed     Overview   Looking for a devoted companion who'll share in all of life's adventures? Meet Burney, a distinguished pure-bred dachshund with a gorgeous red long coat! At 8 years young (turning 9 in January 2025) and a perfectly portable 13 pounds, this charmer is searching for his forever home. Burney is beyond sweet and wants to be by your side all the time - whether you're cooking in the kitchen, watching TV, or heading out for a stroller walk.   Environment   Burney needs a home where someone is present most of the time, as he experiences separation anxiety and doesn't like to be left alone for long periods. While he's crate trained and does well sleeping in his crate at night, apartment living isn't ideal - when left alone he likes to "sing the song of his people!" He doesn't require a fenced yard, but needs supervision during outdoor time as he gets around by dragging himself since he can't walk. He may be a candidate for a cart!   Health   This sweet boy has some special care needs that his future family should be prepared for. He requires regular bladder and bowel expression to avoid accidents, and uses a belly band between expressions to avoid drips. He's currently taking disc and cranberry supplements to support his health. Despite his mobility challenges, Burney maintains a happy and active life - he's a pro at stroller walks and his previous owner shared that he even enjoyed kayaking! As long as he's with you - he's happy!   Pets & People   Burney is a social butterfly who gets along splendidly with dogs of all sizes - he's proven himself friendly with both big and little dogs in his foster home. He would love to have a dog sibling in his new home as he doesn't like being totally alone. While he's a total love bug with adults and greets strangers warmly, he needs a home without babies or young children due to his history of being uncomfortable around them. He has excellent manners around food and treats, showing no food aggression even with other dogs present.   Location   Burney is available for adoption from Westbrook, CT. He's great in the car and can travel any distance, though he might do a little crying when uncertain about where he's going. Please email fosternorth@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Burney is $150.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 13, 2024, 5:25 pm
