Stop scrolling!! Adorable senior alert!🔔

Meet Edward.

He’s got maybe one or two teeth. He’s sweet as can be. And today he got his freedom ride!

This sweet old man was found as a stray and no owner came forward. It’s obvious he has been well loved in his lifetime, and we can’t help but wonder if his owner may have passed away.

He’s getting settled in to TDR. But right now he’s just happy to be with people again. Dogs like Edward are the reason you should participate in our Photo Contest!

🐾❤️ Help Us Help Delilah! ❤️🐾

Meet Delilah, our newest TDR rescue, who came from a rural Kansas shelter! Although she’s not a dachshund, but a sweet basset hound, she’s captured our hearts just the same. Delilah is suffering from a SEVERE yeast infection covering her body and ears, and she needs our help to get the treatment she desperately needs.

We’re asking for your generous donations to support Delilah’s recovery. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference in her journey to a healthy, happy life.

👉 Venmo: (last four 7338)

Thank you for your kindness and support! Together, we can give Delilah the care she deserves.

P.S. Everyone knows Leslie is a sucker for a long-eared hound. This rescue (TDR) was born out of her love of working with basset rescue for many years.

Angel has been found! This is her sorry, not sorry face.

Her little walk-about took her around the neighborhood, and she nipped at almost everyone before our wonderful kennel crew at the vet went out there and said, very firmly, "ANGEL GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE."

And guess what? She walked right over. She's safe. She's getting checked out for dehydration, but overall she seems fine.

What do you get when you cross an excited dachshund with a Bernedoodle in heat?

Meet Winston! This dude is approximately 1.5 years old and is the brother to the “Kardashian sisters” we had several months ago. Winston is a sweet boy who is a little shy at first, but bonds quickly with his people. He came to TDR when the owner decided to place him as well.

Winston is about the size of a basset hound. Short legs and long body.

Winston is currently fostered in West, TN

🐾 Meet Chase! 🐾

We posted Chase a few days ago, but after vetting and a much needed groom he is ready for adoption! Chase is a 1.5-year-old Dorkie with a big heart and a lot of love to give. He’s looking for a forever home where he can truly thrive.

🦴 About Chase:

• Needs another dog to play with
• Struggles with separation anxiety and needs a patient family
• Takes time to warm up, but becomes a Velcro pup once he does
• Loves to run zoomies in the yard – a fenced yard is a must!
• Learning to walk on a leash, but still needs practice

Chase is incredibly smart and quickly learned to use ramps and a dog door. He’s now enjoying the simple pleasures of grass under his paws and the love of a caring foster family.

If you’re ready to give Chase the loving home he deserves, he will reward you with endless love and loyalty.

Many of you have asked how Scout, the sweet wirehair that was attacked by larger dogs, is doing. Well if you ask his foster moms, he’s doing great! In fact, so great that his foster moms decide to make it official and adopt him!

Congrats Scout. So glad we were able to help you heal and find your forever home in the process.

Hi yall! My name is Duncan! I'm 10 years young and the biggest sweetheart! I'm great with other dogs. So, a kind doggy sibling that will let me cuddle would be AMAZING to have. I'm not sure about cats, though. I do ok with other people, but I LOVE my person. I cry when my person leaves me even when other people are home. I love to snuggle with other dogs or under the covers. I do LOVE a heated blanket. When I'm feeling sassy, I like to roll around on the couch and dig dig DIG! My foster mom has been teaching me the ramp so I can get in her lap, but I prefer her to pick me up. Shhh! Don't tell her my secret! I'm great on a leash but I love to run around her yard! I sleep in bed with her snuggled under the covers. I also like to give big sloppy kisses! I’m being fostered in middle TN. Could you be my happily ever after?

A Little Info

We are a 501c3 organization dedicated to rescuing dachshunds in Tennessee and surrounding states. We are a group of volunteers in various cities and we depend on a strong people network to be successful. Our dogs come from many situations and we do not always know their history. We match our animals to adopters based on a detailed application and interview process including, family situation & life style, as well as the dog’s temperament and other special needs. Home visits are required in order to adopt. You can find the applications for volunteering, fostering or adopting at www.tndachshundrescue.com.

We usually have a waiting list for younger dogs, but there are so many “older” doxies that are incredible pets just waiting to be loved. Since it isn’t unusual for smaller breeds to live 16+ years, an 8 or 9 year old dog is still active and has lots of love to give. If you are considering adopting please don’t limit yourself to a specific dog. Take a look at our available pets at www.petfinder.com/member/us/tn/cookeville/tennessee-dachshund-rescue-tn890/, but let us help you choose the dachshund that meets all your needs. We will do our best to find the perfect family member for you!
