DachsieHaven Rescue

DachsieHaven is a small Dachshund Only rescue and old age home. We are a safe place for old, broken and otherwise unadoptable dachshunds.

DachsieHaven is a wonderful little dream that started out as a rescue and has morphed over the years into an old age home for an old ball assortment of old and disabled dachshunds. Starting in about 2000 my little pack of dachshunds started growing. I seemed to be a magnate for homeless and abused and unadoptable dachshunds. We even had one dropped off by the pizza delivery guy when his neighbor d

ecided to dump his dog. After my home filled up and I ran out of friends to place these dogs with I decided that I had better become an official rescue. With friends to help with fostering and training DachsieHaven was born. DachsieHaven came to occupy a little niche that wasn't being filled by the larger rescues. I could take in dogs from the shelters that had a history of aggressive behavior that would otherwise have been put down. I didn't have to worry about boards of directors, complicated budgets (we were always broke) and layers of unbending rules. I would take in nasty dogs and spend as long as I needed to turn these unwanted brats into wonderful forever companions. Then we would find them the homes they were always meant to have. Now 15 years later our mission has turned more from active rescue into a refuge and old age home. Over the years we have ended up with a couple of dogs too emotionally damaged to re-home. We have also taken in three paraplegic dogs that have never left. And since our policy is that any dog that is adopted from here is welcome back at any time we have ended up with a couple of doddering old guys who will live out their final days here at Camp Dachsie. We still do adoptions but on a smaller scale. I've become more of a facilitator. My goal for now is to hook up people with dogs they can no longer keep with owners who are looking for dogs. This way we can bring in new dogs but only on a short term.

To my friends here in Washington and Oregon. I am looking to find someone to do a short term (six months) foster of a pair of huskies starting in Sept. A friend is moving up here from the southern US and needs to find somewhere for the dogs until he gets settled. If you know anyone or know anyone who knows anyone that could help let me know. They are well trained, house and crate trained, very affectionate with adults and children but are not good with felines. We are hoping to find homes so he does not have to put them up for permanent adoption since he loves them dearly. I would take them but my yard and home are dachshund secure and not husky secure as the fences are only 4 feet tall.

A sweet pup from a rescue I foster for. Please contact Hearts4Doxies for more info.

Chloe is ready for her forever home! This sweetheart will win you over with her sparkling personality and those beautiful eyes. 8 year old Chloe enjoys squeaky toys, tasty treats and to snuggle on a warm lap! She enjoys being with her humans around the house. She can live with gentle children 12+ who have been taught canine respect.

Chloe does well with other dogs, especially dogs that are close in size and energy level to her. No cats or other small critters. She also appreciates leisurely walks that allow her to take in all the interesting smells. A single family residence with a secured yard, a quieter/calm environment, home full-time, part-time or work from home is preferred and breed specific knowledge.

Consider adopting Chloe and making this cutie girl the next family member.
