Zoey aka Lauren

The kids wanted to give Lauren a new name...one that was their own, and they chose Zoey. My two children and I are thrilled to have given Zoey her "furever home". She's such a happy girl and always has a smile on her face. She's a ball of energy (in a good way) and is so curious about everything that she comes across. She also loves to cuddle up on the couch with us and going on long walks is her absolute favorite thing to do! Anyone who meets her immediately comments on her beautiful brindle coat and the uniqueness of her one blue eye and just how sweet she is. She's an absolute joy for us and we're so lucky to have found her. We look forward to many years of love and happiness with Zoey. I've attached a few pictures for you as well. All the best, Geoff

Henry

Henry is happy with his new family in CT! Here is a note from his new mom: Henry is a bottomless pit! He wants to eat anytime I’m in the kitchen. That’s the doxie in him…. We’ve been trying to “guide” him up/down the ramp. If he sees one of the others, he follows that one but on his own, he seems confused. But, I think he’ll become accustomed – Charlie now prefers it unless there’s a squirrel that needs immediate removal from the premises…. Henry took right to my husband, Glen. When Charlie got a little territorial and growled at Henry, Glen comforted him and carried him in his arms for a while. Henry just loved it! And he comes and sits by the computer, or wherever we are. What a love he is! He did wander in the yard quite a bit with Solly, maybe trying to find a familiar scent but, of course, he couldn’t. He does drink quite a bit of water; hope that’s nothing like Cushing’s (my Sparkles had that at 14 until 16). Hope you find someone for the other little angel in Colchester (I hope he isn’t in a kennel cage there all night) – then John will give you doxie preference in the future. And yes, he seems a really nice person. Never met him but think he has a good heart. He called you quickly, yes? Oh, I gave your rescue name to someone on FB that said she was looking for a dachshund to adopt in SC. Henry is a sweetie – and we’re thankful to be here for him. And it seems he does have a bit of hearing – he had his back to me on the grass area and I was on the deck and made a tongue-clicking noise like I do for mine and he turned around! Maybe wishful thinking – but we’ll see what goodies the vet can do for and give him. He really does deserve a good home – and he’ll be very well taken care of and LOVED for the rest of his natural days. Sooooo glad to have met you, Laura – you’re doing wonderful work for helpless angels who just want a little happiness and comfort. Karma will reward you in many ways. Please keep in touch – maybe we can volunteer some kind of help == transport from somewhere in CT to RI border or such; or items for a tag sale, bake sale. I would love to do what you do but no longer can due to health issues – but we can help in other ways…. I did forget to ask you if he was on Frontline for fleas and ticks – that’s what I use. Nasty ticks in CT. Did they use something else on Henry?? Well, thanks for bringing us the bundle of love named Henry – he’s so mellow, just happy to BE. Reminds me of the Neil Diamond song “Be” from his CD “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” (Great book, also). Hope he feels he’s found his fur-ever home and is happy to be part of our family now. My little Sparkles had 6 homes in just over 5 years before she came to us and lived happily for 16+ years. Stay safe, Take good care!

Selena - NH

This sweet girl had such a difficult start to life and by the time she came to FDR, she was sick and needed help. She has come a long way now and couldn't be happier with her new family!

Cara aka Krista

Krista was adopted by Mari in Surfside Beach, SC. Here is a note from her new mom! Blessings may come in small packages - 9 pound, 4 legged packages! After moving to South Carolina for a new job, I found a huge empty spot in my life when I had to leave my two half dachshunds in Ohio with my husband until he retires and joins me. Day to day life just wasn't the same without the companionship of a four legged family member. I felt led to look for a senior dog that needed a second chance and began the search. Fortunately I found Furever Dachshund Rescue online and there she was - Krista, a 9 year old, very small, very adorable girl with some health issues that I could totally see past. I fell in love with her before I ever "met" her. She jumped off the computer screen and into my heart and I couldn't wait to get my application approved so I could bring her home! I spent several weeks emailing Krista's foster mom, Amber, during the process and was so touched by the love she and Krista shared. Meeting her on our "adoption day" was like going to visit a long time friend and I can't express my appreciation to her enough for all she did for my little girl to give her a better life. I decided to re-name Krista - and picked "Carolina" as her new name, for the state where she got a new chance at life. I call her Cara for short. Since I don't know her actual birth date, I decided that her adoption day should now be her new birthday! Today was our 5th day as family and she's had quite a few great adventures in a short amount of time. She's been to the beach twice and LOVES it, went to a Dog Park, went to Sunrise Easter Service on the beach and has been to work with me three days. She loves seeing all the people who come to my office and soaks up all the love and attention she's received there. She's such a happy girl who has so much love to give. She smiles and dances and brightens my day from morning to night. I am SO thankful to all of the wonderful people associated with Furever Dachshund Rescue who helped give my girl a 2nd chance and gave me such a glorious little piece of sunshine to shine in my life each day. You're all amazing people with hidden angel wings!

Dynna - RI

Dynna and her daughter Maggie Mae have been adopted by the Miller family. They decided that these 2 sweet girls loved eachother so much that they shouldn't be separated. Thank you Mary and Bob for giving Dynna and Maggie Mae their happily every after!
