Here's our Cricket, right at home. Her former foster and now furever mom, JoAnne sends this happy update:

Cricket would need a special home because she had spinal surgery and most likely would need more care and attention than a "normal" dog.

I saw her picture and read her story and I could not say no. After a couple of conversations with my husband, we took Cricket.
Well, this angel didn't take long to "wiggle" her way into our hearts and after only two weeks, Micki (our first and the alpha of the pack) engaged Cricket in play; thereby accepting her into the pack. I was so excited. We all fell in love with this little girl that, thanks to Furever Dachshund Rescue, received the care she needed so that she could live her life. Regardless of her infirmities, she is such a happy girl. She makes us laugh everyday and gets so excited when "Daddy" gets home from work....you can't help but love her. Our other dogs took to her quickly as well....which made things so much easier. We knew we couldn't let her go anywhere. Her personality is one of happiness, trust, and love. We are so blessed to have Cricket and our other babies. Thank you FDR for giving us the opportunity to not only bring Cricket into our home, but to allow us to be her "furever" family. We know how important extended families are and we are inviting anyone who has fallen in love with this little girl along her path to visit. I feel blessed to be a foster mom and blessed to be a "furever" mom.
