Sophia's Grace Foundation

A safe and loving foster home system for doxies & other small breeds while they wait on forever homes

We founded our group in honor of a dear little dachshund named Sophia Grace. Sophia was a sweet little 12-year old dachshund who was rescued from a situation where she spent all her life without receiving any medical care. When she came into rescue she was severely malnourished, sickly and had to have nearly all her teeth pulled. Through the "Grace" of so many selfless contributors we were able to

get her the medical care that she so badly needed, and had been denied all her 12 years on earth. Sophia Grace lived out her final years in her forever home in Michigan where she thrived and grew stronger each day. It is in her honor that we founded our organization, and we will honor her with every dachshund we are able to help now and for many years to come!

Say a big, warm hello to Kaitlyn! 🐾✨

This sweet girl has just started her very own fairytale. She recently retired from her life as a breeding dog, which means the whole world is brand new to her! From stairs to squeaky toys, every day is an adventure. 🙂

And let us tell you, she is handling it all like a champ! 🏆 Kaitlyn’s foster mom says she has blown all expectations out of the water. Her favorite things in her new life are:
❤️ CUDDLES
❤️ NAPS
❤️ SNACKIES (She's so polite, the only time she ever speaks up is to politely "boof" when dinner is taking too long! 😂)

Kaitlyn is a smart, loving shadow. You’ll know she’s near by the sound of her little tippy-taps following close behind you—the perfect soundtrack to your day. 🎵

Because of her past, she’s a cautious soul who needs a patient adopter to help her build confidence. In return, she will reward you with endless loyalty and love. She’s proven she’s a star with other dogs, cats, and children! 🥰

Kaitlyn is working hard on her potty training and is almost there. With a little patience and consistency, she'll be a pro in no time!

✅ Miniature Poodle
✅ 4 years, 11 months
✅ Female, spayed
✅ 9 pounds
✅ House-training in progress
✅ Crate trained but gets stressed
✅ Good with Kids
✅ Good with Dogs + Cats
⚠️ Concerns: separation anxiety, needs at least one other dog in the home, not yet leash trained
📍 Columbus, OH

🇺🇸 Happy Veterans Day!

Today, we honor the brave heroes who served our nation—including a few with very short legs and very long bodies! 🐾

Did you know Dachshunds served in the US military's K-9 Corps during WWII? Known for their keen noses and low-to-the-ground profile, they were instrumental as Mine Detection Dogs! Doxie heroes like Herman of Lindakin and CH Bertra v Hildesheim uncovered hundreds of land mines in battle zones.
In the spirit of honor and service, we continue the mission to rescue and care for these incredible, feisty, and loyal dogs.

If you're considering giving a home to a true Dachshund hero, please remember the basics of Doxie care!

The Doxie Rescue DOS: Serving Their Spines!

✅ DO Invest in Ramps/Stairs: Keep all furniture accessible via ramps! No jumping is the Number One rule for preventing back injuries (IVDD).
✅ DO Manage Their Weight: A lean Doxie is a healthy Doxie. Keep those rations sensible!
✅ DO Use a Harness: Always walk them in a harness, not a collar, to protect their neck and back.
✅ DO Shower Them with Love: Despite their bravery, they are cuddle bugs! They need their human to burrow with.

Today, we salute all Veterans and our little wienie warriors of the past! Share this post to spread the word about these amazing heroes and our need for Doxie forever homes. ❤️ 🐾

Meet Snowball 🐾

His world was turned upside down, but his heart is still full of love. 💗

This sweet boy was surrendered to a shelter through no fault of his own, his family facing eviction. Now, he's in rescue, learning what safety feels like.

Snowball is a gentle soul who adores pets, gets along great with other dogs, and loves exploring the outdoors. Like anyone who has been through a tough time, he's a little guarded. He'll give a warning growl if you try to pick him up, but once he's in your arms, he settles right in. We don't know what his past held, but we know he's a good boy trying his best to trust again.

His dream? A calm, adult-only home with patient humans who will give him the space and time he needs to feel secure. He loves having a crate as his safe haven, filled with his favorite treats. 🍪

Could you be the one to give Snowball the safe, loving home he truly deserves? He's ready to repay you with a lifetime of loyalty.

✅ Chihuahua mix
✅ 7.5 years old
✅ Male, neutered
✅ 11.5 pounds
✅ House-training in progress, does well on a schedule
✅ Crate trained: Yes
✅ Good with Dog
❓Kids + Cats unknown
⚠️ Concerns: Does growl when picked up, can be snappy, needs a “safe space” to retreat to
📍 Weirton, WV

You’ve met the supermodels, now get ready for the super-paw-del! 🐾

Say hello to RAMONA! ✨

This 8-pound bundle of delight has perfected the iconic chihuahua strut and makes a striking silhouette on her walks. With her sleek black coat, elegant white toes, and a perfectly curled tail, she’s a true head-turner.

But Ramona’s story didn’t start on a glamorous runway. She was sadly abandoned at the door of a local shelter. The shelter environment was overwhelming for her, and she showed some resource guarding and fear of loud noises.

However, in the calm of her foster home, this sweet girl has FLOURISHED! She’s revealed herself to be a quiet, low-key cuddle bug who loves lap time and shoulder snuggles. She’s a sunbeam-seeking missile and is perfectly happy lounging contentedly on her own.

Her Perfect Home:
🏡 Apartment Life Pro: She’s very quiet and doesn't require a fenced yard!
❤️ Patient & Peaceful: She does best with slow introductions and a calm home without a lot of commotion.
🤗 Snuggle Seeker: Ready to offer a lap? She’ll repay you in endless cuddles.

Ramona is ready to leave her past behind and strut confidently into a loving, forever home. Could that be with you?

✅ Chihuahua mix
✅ 3 years old
✅ Female, spayed
✅ 8 pounds
✅ House-training in progress
✅ Crate trained
✅ Good with Dogs (She is selective and prefers calm dogs)
❓ Kids + Cats unknown
⚠️ Concerns: Might be best as an only dog or one other calm companion, can be hyper vigilant in new situations, sometimes flinches with sudden movements

Meet Rosita: Your Next Sugary, Spicy, & Speedy Best Friend! 🐾🌮

Say hello to Rosita, the 3-year-old chalupa of your dreams! This little lady is a delightful mix of sweet cuddles and fiery spirit.

✨ The Sugary Side: Once she trusts you, Rosita is the ultimate Velcro dog. She dreams of being your shadow, will sleep soundly tucked under the blankets with you (non-negotiable big bed privileges! 😉), and is the perfect, compact co-pilot for all your road trips.

🌶️ The Spicy Side: In a big world, you have to be brave! Rosita can be a little wary of new people and sometimes announces herself with a sassy "ankle alert." She takes correction well and just needs a confident, patient human to reassure her that the world isn't so scary. She has BIG energy and would love an active home to match her zoomies!

Her Perfect Person/Family: An active, patient adopter who understands she needs slow introductions to new people and dogs. She'd thrive with someone who will give her the reassurance she needs to blossom into the total love bug she truly is. 🥰

She's house-trained, sleeps through the night, and is learning to be a superstar when home alone (no crate needed!). 🤩

Ready to be the hero Rosita is waiting for? She promises a lifetime of adventure, loyalty, and the best snuggles you've ever had.

✅ Chihuahua/Dachshund mix (Chiweenie)
✅ 3 years old
✅ Female, spayed
✅ 7.25 pounds
✅ House-trained
✅ Good with Dogs: Yes, but can be dominant with other dogs and come on strong and overstimulated at first

I’m an Australian Cattle Dog looking for my forever “job” – which is basically having fun 24/7! My last family didn’t understand that I need to RUN and PLAY to be my best, happiest self.

The Paw-sitive Stuff: I'm house-trained, walk nicely on a leash, and am a very good, calm girl inside the house. I just need a patient, active person (who knows my breed would be awesome!) to help me shine. ✨
