💛💛 Welcome Ida 💛💛 Ida arrived yesterday afternoon via Doxie Taxi Transport and was not loving life. Not sure if It was the meds or the gigantic incision on her tummy, being spayed, and having mammary masses and a mass on her v***a removed.

She did not move from her bed all night but is doing a little better today ☀️Gonna let her chill and get settled in and then will see what we have!

🌴🌴💙💙 Slinky’s Happily Ever After 💙💙🌴🌴 Just short weeks after coming to Slinky found his Forever Mom who flew all the way from California to Ft. Lauderdale to adopt him!!

Within minutes of meeting his Mom he was snuggled in her arms and word on the street is that he was the perfect gentleman on the long trip back to San Diego.

Leas than 48 hours in his new home he was eating home made chicken and carrots, had fully explored his new home, and hit it off with his new sister.

Slinky’s happily ever after would not have been possible without who happily diagnosed “nothing wrong with him” after an MRI and spinal tap came back clean and confined that Slinky’s crooked head was just a crooked head which was the happiest thing we could have imagined 💙

This leaves a spot open here and we have our next guest lined up who will be here on Friday. She is super tiny, frosty faced, right up my alley and I can’t wait to meet her!!

Sunday Vet Visit! On our way to Pet Medical Center Boca to get Leah measured for some and a checkup for Lionel 💙💛 We had tried another set of wheels for Leah and she was not a fan so we are going back to our “little black dress” Eddie’s Wheels which are always perfect!

We made it to Friday!!!! I can’t believe how quickly Slinky has adjusted to being here 💙 He is the goodest of boys and his dream family is out there and we will find them!

03/03/2021

💙 Welcome Slinky 💙 This sweet boy has had a whirlwind last few days having undergone an MRI and spinal tap at and once he was clear of anything more nefarious he had a big ole dental at Pet Medical Center Boca and lost a LOT of teeth.

True to Doxie form, none of it seems to have phased him in the slightest, he ate his dinner like a champ, and promptly passed out on the couch after digging around in the blankets to get them just right 💙

Thanks to everyone for following his journey and please feel free to share his story as we know his perfect family is out there (but he is safe with us for as long as he needs 💙)

👜👗 Little Miss Alala has an interview with a Forever Mom on Saturday and if all goes well, it will be an AMAZING home for her and she will have totally hit the jackpot as I am considering asking the lady to adopt me too! 👗👜 Stay tuned for details!!!

12/02/2021

I am not sure if this is stink eye or sleepy eye 🇵🇷 Meet Alala 🇵🇷 We had a spot open after Tink crossed the bridge which allowed us to welcome this little peanut, all of 5 pounds, who came with the last round of 14 dogs rescued from Puerto Rico.

The first two days she was terrified and wouldn’t let me touch her and now is getting her post breakfast nap on in my bed. Not too bad for. 48 hour turnaround and further proves dogs are SO much more resilient than we are!!!

🇨🇳💛 For over 4 hours a group of rescuers and families waited patiently for the wheels of customs to slowly turn in the middle of the night to release two palates of barking Doxies and Goldens who were waiting to start their new lives in South Florida after being rescued from the dog meat trade in China by by invitation from Golden Rescue South Florida.

Their arrival was the columniation of an international effort between rescuers in Beijing, rescuers in South Florida and all fueled by over $10,000 of donations from DRSF’s community from across the country and around the world to get the Doxies here and tens of thousands of dollars for the 27 goldens who were also rescued.

This effort united people of different languages, different cultures, and even two rescues who operated differently to raise the funds necessary to pull this off and place the dogs that were saved.

As we waited, we kept each other company. Nobody fussed about politics. Nobody fussed about masks. Nobody fussed about waiting. People took turns p*eking in the open slot of the bay door that provided a visual to the dogs that were SO CLOSE to the end of their journey.

Stories were shared, information was shared and even towels were shared for warmth as we waited as I am the only person in the world who can be freezing in a parking lot in Miami 😂

In the end, culture, language, nationality or even breed choice didn’t matter as people on opposite ends of the globe came together, to make something good happen.

On one hand it was a bunch of people in a parking lot, but on the other hand it was a shining example of what can be done when we work work together.

It was a long, long night but aside from the jubilation of how many dogs were saved, it was salve for my heart that there is still more good out there than anyone could ever believe and a reminder for me that we are all more alike than we could ever believe 💛

🌈Tahiti Has Earned Her Wings🌈

Friday, with the help of Dr. Sy from Lap
Of Love I said “ I will see you again’ to my little Tahiti. She hadn’t been with me for even two months, but her sweet soul left an indelible mark on us all.

She was left at MDAS by her family at 15 year old and rescued by Dachshund Rescue South Florida in October of 2020. She was tiny little girl, and was skinny and shy. She stayed with President Pam for a while before coming to our house, where she quickly claimed her spot in a bed in my room.

She couldn’t see very well and couldn’t hear very well and was a little off cognitively, but she loved to eat and was always first in line for dinner and would often eat her and Lionel’s dinner if he didn’t eat fast enough.

Tahiti had her first seizure Tuesday night and spent the rest of the night at LeadER Animal Specialty Hospital under observation and getting some anti seizure meds into her system. She had another seizure Wednesday afternoon and cognitively we didn’t think she would come back. She stabilized a bit, she stayed one more night at LeadER and I was able to bring her home Thursday night.

We knew we didn’t have a lot of time but were going to make the best of what we had and so Thursday night dinner had some chicken and beef added to it (thank you leftover Moe’s!) and then not even a full day after getting home, the jingle bells around her neck work me up before 7 to let me know Tahiti was having another seizure, even on a pretty hefty dose of meds. She came out of it and ate her breakfast like a champ, but it was written in the stars, we had to let her go.

Dr. Sy arrived and was so very kind. She came armed with treats for everyone with an extra special one, a syringe of Nutella for Tahiti, to distract her while the first injection was administered. Tahiti was able to enjoy the entire syringe of Nutella, snuggled in my lap, in her favorite Bones and Me blanket, before the sedative took hold, and snored peacefully as she gently slipped away.

My heart was broken, but rescue did what rescue was supposed to do. DRSF was her safety net when her family abandoned her and provided her the care she needed, and gave me the opportunity to have her come home, even for a short time to be loved and spoiled, and feel the sunshine on her face and the grass of her back yard under her feet before she was helped across the bridge as gently as possible.

Tahiti, you were with us for just a short time, but you will be forever loved and forever remembered. Until we meet again, look for the guy in the fleece and he will take care of you ❤

28/01/2021

💕 Our house is minus one dog this evening and seems oddly quiet. Little Tahiti had a seizure last night and is spending another night at .

For some reason seizures never happen at 7:30 PM and just as I was literally putting my feet under the covers to go to bed at 11PM, I heard a tooth chatter from Tahiti’s bed that I immediately knew was no good and in seconds it picked up intensity and soon she was in a full seizure.

I watched the clock for what seemed like hours (and was probably 2 min) and then after a call to President Pam we were in the car to LeadER and we took the super long scary drive with a very sick dog.

We weren’t sure if Tahiti would make it through the night but I am grateful to for giving her a chance and she has stabilized and should be ok to come home tomorrow 💛

There is no good reason a 15 year old little girl has a seizure so we know we don’t have a lot of time left, but we will make the most of what we have with naps, good food, and spending time wandering around in the yard.

We will then let rescue do what rescue does which is teach us to be present in the moment and love them for as long as they have and when it is their time to cross as gently as possible knowing they were loved and their life mattered.

Your bed is waiting for you little girl and will be glad to have you home tomorrow 💛

🧷🧷 🥷🥷 I have become the doggie diaper changing ninja 🧷🧷🥷🥷

Leah is my 2nd IVDD survivor and is way more active than Sissie (who was a beautiful IVDD survivor meatloaf and had two sp*eds- stop and sleep) so I have had to figure this diaper thing out pretty quick as Leah does not stay still and can out run Watson who has all 4 legs working and her little girly bits were getting angry from all that running around.

It has taken a few days but after multiple sessions of her flailing around wanting to run and play Leah now knows how to lay down and stay still to have her diaper changed and I have reduced the process from 10 min down to ninja sp*ed AND completed two diaper changes before leaving for work this AM as I generally can’t go home for lunch and needed that bladder as empty as possible and needed to change her anyway after breakfast poo’s.

This is also confirmation that there was a reason I never had children 😂😂

Lessons Learned
- Anyone can learn to express a dog
- New things get easier with practice
- You can adjust a new program as you go to make it work and keep throwing stuff at the wall until something works (baby wipes now live in kitchen island for easy access to “couch changing area”)
- You can have a full time corporate job and still foster/manage an IVDD dog
- Someone has to share the magic of IVDD survivors to inspire people to open their hearts to adopt them so here I am trying 💛

☀️ Meri Update ☀️ We cant even begin to think about how many hours has dedicated to Meri since she has been receiving one on one and group training but they are slowly helping her come out of her shell 💛

I have watched this video more times than I almost care to admit and it brings a tear to my eye every time.

Meri is the last of our hoarding dogs that have been in care for coming up on two years. I’m so many ways emotional wounds can be harder to fix than physical ones and I am so grateful to DRSF and everyone at Dynamite who has given their time, love and patience to Meri to help her learn to find some joy in life and learn how to be a dog 🐶🐾🐶

❣️ We have a new guest! ❣️ While Meri is away at Camp, I had a spot available and so we have welcomed a new Foster! (Cause why wouldn’t I? 😂)

She is getting settled in and recovering from a surgery but her sweet personality and wagging tail are coming out by the day and Morrie is thrilled to have another girl in the house to offset all the boys🐶🐶

Gotta keep things a bit on the down low until she is officially introduced by but until then, there is room for one more and there is nothing that I am a sucker for more than a red girl with a little bit of a frosty face 🥰🥰

💕 New Blog Post - Link In Bio 💕 Meri is one of 16 dogs welcomed after being found in a house with 99 other dogs over a year ago.

Check out my newest post to get more of her backstory and see the media coverage from Miami when they were all found, read about my meltdown when Meri’s sister (who I also fostered) was adopted, and check out the list of things Meri and I tried over the year to help her heal as maybe there is something there that might help you or someone you know help a nervous dog 💕

Have a great Sunday evening and here’s to a fabulous week ahead for our girl!

💛 One Step At A Time 💛 Meri spent her first day at hiding behind some laundry soap, but today has brought some small wins!

Meri’s report card from is that they have managed to be able to lick her up without her having an accident (SCORE as she would p*e and poo each time out of fear 😢) and she spent a bit of time on one of her trainers laps today!!!!!

I so feel like she wants to be like the other dogs but just doesn’t know how to trust people and we know that Jamie and her team can show Meri the way with love and patience.

Thank you to and all Meri’s supporters for giving her this chance!! 💛💛

08/10/2020

💕 Thank you to so many who have checked out my page after Meri’s story and fundrazr were shared on .

Extra special thank you to for welcoming Meri to their care and in case they are not amazing enough, as part of their program, Dynamite sends report cards for how things are going!!!

Stay tuned for more details on Meri and thank you to everyone who has supported her so far!!!

On July 3, our families life was changed forever when our sister was the pedestrian victim of a hit and run leaving her with many broken bones and a TBI.

Both of her dogs, Gary and Morrie, came to stay with me and are safe and loved here for as long as they need, but not every dog is lucky enough to place to go should their person no longer be able to care for them due to a health crisis.

and other rescues are inundated with please for help from family members when nobody in the family is willing to step up and help when a Dog Mom or Dad can no longer provide care. Some families look for a rescue and many others just dump cherished pets at a shelter when a caregiver has a health crisis.

We would all think our family would step in and help to keep our beloved pets safe, but you don’t know until you have that awkward conversation and there are ways to make the process easier and less expensive for them if they are willing to step up.

Your life can change on a dime. Do you have a plan for your dogs in case that life that is changed is yours? Check out my latest blog post with steps to take to make sure your dogs have a place to go should the life that is changed be yours 💛

🎬 Getting ready to film a Zoom call with President Pam and one of our awesome foster homes! 🎬 Our first video was such a hit we decided to do more so stay tuned as we have a bunch scheduled to be recorded!

Extra special thanks to my cup that will keep me hydrated and hopefully has some sort of magic powers to keep me from saying anything stupid like last round where I spaced my role and claimed to be president....

💛 Lenore 💛 I started calling Lenore “Outdoor Lenore” (after Outdoor Dave from New Girl) and now kinda feel like a jerk about it because now that I have been paying attention it has occurred to me that she prefers to be outside than inside and the more than I thought about it I began to wonder if that was because she had been outside her whole life?

This was solidified last night when I found her sleeping under a shrub in the rain (?????) and then again today when she kept trying to go outside in the downpour and came in totally soaked and somewhat defeated.

I was able to give her a little love and what I suspect was her first “towel - off” which she wasn’t too sure about but kinda liked.

I am in the office today so she will hopefully do some bed napping and I will try to be more proactive about giving her love to let her know she is safe and secure and has nothing but love and soft beds ahead for her.....

..... One of the few good (?) things to come from all this Corona Insanity is that I have been working from home and Meri has had no choice but to have me around. I have been locking her out of my bedroom during the day so she has to hang out with all of us, get used to everyone moving around, and learn how to dog.

I have been trying to utilize my from Owner Jamie and try to have Meri associate me with food which should equal “Good!” Or at the very least “She’s not trying to murder me” which is what Meri currently thinks of me.

Meri is so anxious, she will run right by food but in the last couple days we have had some success with me throwing hot dog pieces at her outside and then walking away so she doesn’t see me when she is eating it. I throw and walk away, she eats, I come back and throw another, she eats, etc.

I have become a champion hot dog piece thrower and can land one almost in front of her all the way across the yard.

We played “hot dog toss” earlier today with some success and she sat herself down for a minute while I was sitting too but as soon as she saw me looking at her, she was back up and moving again. Baby steps.....

Wednesday evening we welcomed beautiful Lenore to stay with us for a while 💛 She is 10 years old and is recovering from a mammary mass removal and a big ‘ole dental that took most of her teeth.

Despite all that she is super sweet and loves her some outside. I have also learned that cocker spaniels don’t have tails as I was super upset that she had lost her tail somewhere along the line until Pam talked me off the ledge that she never had one 😂

🌈 Thank you all for the kind words and support on Sissie’s passing last week. 🌈

Dachshund Rescue South Florida is called on to take so many IVDD dogs and we are very lucky to have so many give so much for their initial care and surgery. Try as we might, it is nearly impossible to find fosters or forever families to adopt IVDD survivors and as it was for Sissie, any dog who does not “recover” from IVDD is likely to be a forever foster.

The only thing needed to learn to care for an IVDD survivor is a willingness to learn how to do so. If you have even considered taking the plunge into “special ops” fostering or you are that rare unicorn who is considering adopting an IVDD survivor, I have compiled a list of gear in my newest blog post at www.adoptioncouture.com that I used to care for Sissie and and hope that it can inspire someone to give IVDD fostering a try or help someone already caring for an IVDD Dog - 💛💛

💙 When you are in heart failure and don’t want to eat but then eat one treat from your Moms hand and then 2.4 seconds later you are eating a bowl of treats for dinner on the couch under a blanket you are winning the foster dog game 💙

💙 Morning Cleanup Crew 💙 I ran out of dog food and made oatmeal for breakfast that was met with mixed reviews 😑 I can always count on Sissie to not only eat anything that is served, but to do an extremely thorough cleanup job after 😂 .

✈️ New Blog Post- The Anatomy and Logistics Of a Puerto Rican Dog Rescue - link in bio! ✈️ My contribution to DRSF is made 95% from behind a keyboard (in my comfy pants drinking wine) doing our fundraising, social media, and managing the financial and paper side of our operations.

I do, however, get the incredible privilege to ride along in the Pambulance to help with the dogs when they arrive from Puerto Rico and we usually pick up 3-5 crates of dogs direct from the airport.

A couple weeks ago, DRSF was part of a multi rescue effort to get close to 30 dogs out of Puerto Rico. My brain leans heavily toward the logistics side and while we were waiting for the dogs I started to consider what it had taken to make the whole thing possible....

There is some serious crap out there in the world, but there is more good out there than people would believe and some of it even happens here in South Florida 💛 .

01/01/2020

🌴Chevy’s Intro just went out over the Dachshund Rescue South Florida social media. He is resting up to be at his best to chat with potential forever families to choose his dream home 🌴

Senior Dogs are the best kept secret in rescue and if you, or anyone you know are looking to adopt, we encourage you to open your heart just a bit further to choose a senior. Any rescuer will tell you with complete sincerity that they know that they have been given a 2nd chance and return the love they are given 10 fold 💙

🍚 Bribery By Mashed Potatoes 🍚 Ethel is still on her mashed potato bender and has gotten Chevy in on the game since his mouth is still hurting after two root abscesses exploded through his face and he had all his teeth removed.... (I am getting odd looks from the deli team at Winn Dixie as every other day I am there getting a large side of mashed potatoes 😂)
Bobbi is mesmerized by the smell of the Potato’s (who isn’t??) and she has taken to stalking the hand - feeding-mashed-potatoes phase of dinner.
I have lobbed a few potatoes at her (cause who isn’t throwing mashed potatoes around their house while hand feeding them to two toothless dogs...) but she won’t come out to eat them until I move away. We will keep at it. The carbs always win in the end....
