Story
This little pretty chocolate dappled girl is called Mazie and goodness what a cracker jack she is.  Don’t for minute let those green eyes and chocolate marbled coat fool you to think she is gentle or easy.  She is the CEO of dogs and will run the show at your house if given the chance.  Mazie is 30 pounds and 9 months old.  She is a breed mix of Dachshund and Basset Hound we are told.  Her pics make her look big but she is a “tiny but mighty” little girl.  Mazie is not a fan of any other female dogs in her life or around her.  We don’t know where that came from but the dislike is there so we say…don’t ignore the warning.  She is great with big male dogs, not good with other small dogs or cats, but loves people deeply and wants to be around them.  She needs a fenced yard because she is a runner as most Dachshunds can be and she needs to be able to run and play and get her energy out daily.  Older children would be better for her and she is crate trained, 90% housebroken and she adores going for walks; a very good girl on a leash we can say.  She is beautiful but a “tad” bit complicated, which is why we have outlined the Likes and Dislikes of this girl to a TEE!  We want the right and perfect home and there are lots out there that can give her that.  Tiny but Mighty little Mazie is ready for a home NOW!  Please email us at Critter Cavalry Rescue : ccrnewengland@gmail.com  Tell us where you live when you email asking for information and an application. PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.November 5, 2024, 1:27 pm

Hello, its with a very heavy heart that we list our baby Oreo due to our relocation and me being 7 months pregnant, we have decided to make the hard decision to relocate our pup. Oreo is super loving and energetic. Im sure whoever gets her will fall in love just as we have. She is used to long periods of time being alone since we all work long hours. She loves just sitting in the house where ever the sun is hitting most and sunbathing. We will miss her soo much and only ask for her new family to love her as much as we do!

Story
Hi, it’s nice to meet you, I’m LeBron, a 3 year old, 17 lb., dachshund/chi mix. I don’t remember much about my former life, but I’m glad to be with A Home of Their Own Animal Rescue to find my forever home. I’m a little shy around new people given all the changes I’ve been through. I’ve been in a couple of foster homes before, and I discovered that I feel more comfortable around adults and older children. Younger children scare me with their quick, sometimes unpredictable movements. I am looking for a forever home that is quiet, patient and loving. I am housetrained so that's a plus! I like crates because they feel so cozy and safe. That said, I may need some coaxing in the beginning to get out of my crate and into the world.  Like LeBron James, I jump up high in the sky and am very high energy so will do best in a home with people that are active and can give me plenty of exercise and enrichment! That's why my foster dad named me LeBron! Also, a home with people that are home often would be nice too because I tend to get attached to my people. They make me feel safe! I'm still working on being protective of my people. I try to remember that no one is going to take them from me but it's definitely a work in progress. I know I will grow used to being around new faces; I just need people that will be patient with me so I can learn to feel safe and secure in this world. I’m a sensitive guy with a big heart once I trust someone. Are you that forever trustworthy person I’m looking for?! ##2039331##

Story
Meet sweet BILLY (aka Oscar weiner dog) who just arrived! Billy is a handsome 3 year old, 21 pound, reddish brown dachshund mix. His foster reports that he is a DREAM! He hasn't had an accident or tried to chew anything, and sleeps through the night in his crate without a peep. Loves a good snuggle on the couch with his humans. He's a gentle playmate with the larger resident dog. Loves to go for walks and is happy to meet anyone that he comes across Poor Billy was surrendered to a rural North Carolina vet office after he was attacked by another dog roaming in a trailer park in this county. The vet treated him for extensive injuries, which have all healed, and reached out for help in getting this very sweet and friendly dog into rescue. With the offer from a great foster home, PetConnect was able to come to his rescue and bring him to the DC area to find his new home that will adore him furever. While he was a country boy, he seems to adapt well to any new environment and thus would seem to be fine in the city or country as well as a home or an apartment. In the comfort of his foster home, he has already learned how good it can be to get belly rubs and cuddle! He likes to go for walks, is a great size, with an adorable very expressive face and eyes. Billy would be a great companion to curl up at your feet on a cool fall evening. ***Please note that the first step is to fill out an application (It does not commit you in anyway but allows us to discuss with you if you and the dog are a good fit). In addition, an important step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies ) , spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Billy is neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. The adoption fee for this dog is $425 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. PetConnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and the general appearance of the animal at the time they enter our system. For more information, please email Robin at kinstondogs@verizon.net **If you're viewing this on Petfinder, please visit www.petconnectrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**
