Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue

Dolly had a few good weeks, where she was playful and eating and acting normally and gaining weight; however, this week began with 3 days visiting the vet for diagnostic testing and observation after she became ill again last weekend. We have no certain diagnosis for what is specifically causing Dolly's problems, but three days of bloodwork, an ultrasound, x-rays, IV fluids, and medications have added another $1946.56 to her veterinary care tab. We're so thankful that Leader Heights Animal Hospital provides the rescue with a 10% discount to help offset the full expense of some of Dolly's care. Thank you to Dr. Ruszala and team for quickly tending to Dolly's needs! And thank you to our supporters who donate to help CCDR afford the medical care that our foster dogs require. Please keep Dolly in your thoughts for recovery!

Dolly and her sister, Lily, were surrendered to Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue (CCDR) in June (2024) after their owner went into assisted living. CCDR pays for all the veterinary care our foster dogs need. Since June, we have supported the following care for Dolly and Lily:

Dolly needed a dental cleaning for Grade 3 Dental Disease and she also had surgery to fix double Cherry Eyes. Recently, Dolly fell ill and went to the vet a few times for the diagnosis of Pancreatitis. Lily has a Grade 5 out of 6 heart murmur, so she required a cardiologist visit to determine she has Advanced Degenerative Valve Disease. And CCDR pays for the prescription medication to “treat” Lily’s heart condition.

All of their basic and extra care adds up!!!
$1517.48 – Dolly pre-surgical bloodwork, dental cleaning, surgery
$819.00 – Cardiology evaluation for Lily
$455.40 – Dolly & Lily intake exams, w/ cardio bloodwork for Lily
$309.15 – Heart meds for Lily
$385 – Dolly & Lily sick visit
$642.03 – Dolly sick visit #2
$109.93 – Dolly follow-up sick visit

= $4,237.99 Total charges…and that’s for only two dogs, within 3 months!

Thankfully, Dolly is on the mend and we will continue to provide her and Lily with the care they need! CCDR has supported 13 other new fosters this year and we have 5 additional longer-term fosters, some of whom we’ve supported since 2017 and 2019.

CCDR relies heavily on the generosity of donors to support care for all of our foster dogs. Please consider making a donation to help offset these and future veterinary expenses!

CCDR started taking the "CCDR" Wienermobile* to rescue events 15 years ago. And, after all those years, our donation fee for souvenir photos is STILL $5! https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.143108295395&type=3
*Our wienermobile was purchased by Rich Werner, the organizer of the Loreal BYDIWIT (Because Your Dog Is Worth It Too) event in NJ. Rich was a repeat CCDR adopter, and supporter of many rescue organizations. Rich used to loan the wienermobile to CCDR for events and, after Rich passed away, CCDR was the heir apparent to inherit the wienermobile. We remain grateful for Rich's support and generosity!!!
Our wienermobile only goes out to a limited number of events per year, so be sure to come see us when it's on the road again!

On the Road for Rescue-don't miss the Wienermobile on its limited Mid-Atlantic area tour.
