**READ ENTIRE BIO**
Kazi is an approximately 3 year old black and tan short hair pure dachshund. He had a rough start to life. While he technically had an owner, he was primarily left outside, living on the streets and having to fend for himself much of the time. Unfortunately, he was not living in a good area of town and neighbors were not kind to him. They would throw rocks at him, poke him with sticks, etc. Due to his past, Kazi needs a very patient owner. Understandably, he is slow to trust, but once he does trust you, he is the sweetest, most loving little boy. Kazi needs an owner who will use positive reinforcement, not negative punishment. Negative punishment is a trigger and will cause him to run, or possibly even bite. Kazi absolutely loves other dogs and would love a buddy to play with, but it isn't required. This little boy needs a place to finally call home, where he can learn what love is. ❤️

If you have the patience and the heart to put the time into Kazi that he needs and not give up on him, you'll be rewarded 10 fold. The link to silky for Kazi is below.

Garrett is a sweet and handsome 50lb boy who was born on 06/23/23. He has grown up in rescue and is ready for a family to call his own. He is a lovable, goofy pup with lots of kisses and energy to spare. He loves to chew, so he needs to have toys and treats to ensure that normal puppy urge isn't destructive. He is a great dog for someone who is willing to give his energy the outlet it needs. ***Garrett has graduated obedience training at PetSmart!!***

Garrett needs a household without cats or small dogs, and with kids 8 and older. He would do best in a house where he is an only dog that gets lots of play/walk/run time or with dogs about his same size or bigger than him who want to run and play like he does.

Good with cats ❌️
Good with kids over 8 ✅️ (he doesn't know his size and will easily knock over the little ones)

Dixie and Bebe are a bonded pair of black and tan female dachshunds. They are 4 and 3 years old. Dixie is the older of the two and is the biggest snuggle bug. She loves giving kisses. Bebe is shy at first, but once she opens up, loves playing and snuggling. Both girls love squeaky toys and playing with them until both stuffing and squeaker have been removed. Dixie and Bebe currently live with other dogs, and get along great. They do need slow introductions to new dogs, as they will be nervous until they trust the new dogs. Dixie and Bebe are house trained on a schedule, with occasional accidents. You do have to be outside with them, so they will potty. The girls are used to being crated at night and when we’re at work. They love kids! We're working on helping Dixie drop some weight so she doesn't develop back problems later. Both girls are healthy, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations.

BRITNEY UPDATE:

After an MRI, spinal tap and disease work up, Dr. Slanina has confirmed that Britney's hydrocephalus in congenital and no other infection or disease is present (present from birth). The blockage in her brain is primarily in the lateral ventricles in the middle front of the brain. They are narrowed and do not allow cerebral spinal fluid to properly drain, causing a buildup of fluid on the brain. This buildup causes Britney’s neurological issues - blindness, circling, reactivity. There are two ways to treat this - one is with medication to reduce fluid buildup, the other is with a shunt to allow drainage.

Currently, Britney is stable. Her condition is not worsening. She eats well, responds to sounds, comes toward us when we call and talk to her, wags her tail, and loves to walk around and snuggle. Neither the medication nor shunt will reverse or restore any damage done to her brain from her condition. She has a small amount of healthy brain tissue. Benefits of the medication and shunt include stopping or slowing the progression of her symptoms. Risks of the shunt include death from anesthesia or over shunting (too great a decrease in brain fluid and collapse of brain tissue). The doctor says the risks verses benefits are about 50/50. She has about an equal chance of it working and helping her or failing. When I asked Dr. Slanina what she would do if it were her dog, she said she would treat with medication and monitor for any worsening of symptoms. Britney is currently taking omeprazole and prednisone to reduce fluid and inflammation.

She has a follow-up appointment in a couple weeks to evaluate her progress but we will seek medical care before then if she needs it.

Foster pup up for adoption Kirby, his brother Finn and his foster pawrents Joanna and Steve Jones went to New York for the last few days to visit family. While there, the boys experienced a few firsts! First long car ride, first experience with stairs, first nights away from home and the biggest first of all - first trip to the beach!! They both loved the water, the waves and digging in the sand. Kirby even looked back over towards the beach on the way to the car and gave a little whine because we were leaving!

This sweet boy is still looking for his “furever” home. See more information about him on our website or apply to adopt him.
