Saving One
Dachshund at a Time
I'
Groucho, an eight-year-old Dachshund/King Charles Cavalier mix, exhibits puppy-like behavior in his interactions and play, showcasing a distinctly Dachshund personality. He has a passion for playing ball and displays impressive athleticism. My husband and I adopted Groucho at four years of age from an individual who had purchased him at just four weeks old. Groucho experiences anxiety and struggles with socializing with new people and dogs. However, he can become friendly with individuals who exude calm after initial barking. Despite challenges with canine socialization, Groucho has made significant progress during the four years we have had him. He can now observe other dogs without pulling on the leash, although he may bark. Groucho is a wonderful companion, enjoying activities such as playing ball, cuddling while watching television, and indulging in sweet potato chicken wrap treats. He strives to be a well-behaved dog. He is protective of his human and he nipped someone. Must have a quiet home with someone who understands him. He is facing euthanasia, we don’t want to see that happen. Please

We were contacted in 2019 when Sasha was brought into veterinary care by a neglectful owner, requesting she be euthanized. She almost did not make it through her first night from how malnourished and poorly cared for she was, but we restored her to great health and found her a loving home. The work we do here is not always easy, but so rewarding!
