Story
Hello, my name is: ShyenneDOB: 11/5/2021Sex/Breed: Female Dachshund mixWeight: 8 lbsFriends: Adults, older kids, dogs (cats unknown)Traits: Shy, gentle, resilientRescued From: AbandonedShyenne and her sister, Shyloh, are survivors of a hoarding case. They lived with 50 other dogs in a tiny home filled with garbage, furniture, and filth nearly stacked to the ceiling. These girls were very under socialized and shellshocked when they arrived in their foster home, but with kindness and patience they have started to relax and trust. They get along really well together, but are not reliant on one another. We feel they could be placed in a home together or in separate homes with other dogs. Having a confident, easy-going resident dog would be very helpful with their transition from throw aways to cherished pets. From the beginning they have been fine though a little worrisome about being picked up and handled. As time has gone on, they have learned to trust more and more. They are still working on their training, and would do best with a secure outside area to roam while supervised. These girls will need a patient family and a home that is quiet and calm to feel safe. Learning to trust and confidence-boosting are the most important things to focus on with these girls. In time, we have no doubt Shyloh and Shyenne will flourish and become loving members of their forever families… all they need is a chance. All our pets are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.Interested in adopting?

Story
Griffith is a 6 year old, male dachshund who is looking for someone to snuggle with all day long. He is very loving and loyal and just wants to be with his person all day. He has a traumatic past from being a breeding dog/stud at a puppy mill where he was likely abused. His current owners rescued him from this situation 4 years ago, and he has come a long way. He still does have many quirks and struggles with separation anxiety, so it’s important that his new owner has lots of love and patience. He would do best in a home with someone retired or who works from home. He needs a child-free home. He currently lives with another doxie, and would likely be fine either with another dog or as the only dog. His current owners are devastated to part with him, but with a one year old, both Griffith and the baby do not feel safe together. If you need a snuggle buddy and loyal companion and think you’d be a good fit, please apply! Thank you!
