Big Mama is a loving senior looking for a “furever” home. Like most seniors, she loves the morning and is done being active by about 8pm. She doesn’t like to be bothered at night when she’s trying to relax. She eats great and doesn’t mind going outside. She likes riding in the car and coming to work with me and sleeping under my desk. She is indifferent to the three other dogs in the house. The cats are a different story. They drive her crazy. She barks and chases them and really needs to be in a home with no cats. I don’t think she’d mind being in a home with kids, but she really deserves to have a quiet, comfortable home to live out her last few years. She’s a sweet girl and would make a great companion.
Peaches is a very young Beagle puppy that was found as a stray. We estimate that she was likely born during the month of August 2012.
Peaches lives up to her name; she is just a peach of a puppy. She’s around 5 months old and all goofy puppy! She’s full of wonder and play, and loves nothing more than a good game of fetch or a good sniff around the yard. Peaches is also becoming an expert snuggler. She adores everyone she meets. She loves children, ignores cats, and loves to play with other dogs. Peaches is such a nice dog that she wants to be everyone’s friend. She’s even a good bed buddy, but will sleep in her crate.
Sparky is just like his name…a little fireplug. He is a sweetheart and will warm up to other dogs quickly as well as people. He is quite the little lover and will show you love. He is potty trained and will straight for the door when requested to go out and potty. He walks well on a harness and leash with other dogs. He face is super cute in that he almost looks like a puggle in the face but a dachshund body. He is a pretty chestnut color and he knows it. He comes up the stairs with a here I come attitude. He was a stray but I think his previous owner just didn’t look for him…he is a cutie and fun. He will calm down when his person settles. Sparky loves to be outside as well and knows to do his business while outside.
Nekko is a Jackshund! That means he is a Dachshund mixed with Jack Russell Terrier. He is only 1.5 years old and came into rescue because medical problems in his family left them unable to care for him properly.
Nekko weighs about 12 pounds, likes other dogs and enjoys barking at the cats! He is housebroken using a doggie door and is crate trained, but honestly does not need to be crated. He came from a home that had young children and enjoyed playing with them.
Meet Thunder! He’s a “middle aged” long hair dachshund. He’s a very well behaved, sweet little man that adores attention. But once you start petting him, watch out! If you stop before he decides he’s had enough attention from you, he’ll nudge your arm or try to climb on you until you resume the petting. If his foster father is lying on the couch, he’ll climb up until they’re nose to nose. We like to think of it as his way of letting you know he’s there for you. Now when he’s not demanding your undivided attention like any good doxie would, Thunder likes to sprawl out under tables or beds.
He’s a very easy going little guy, and loves to cuddle. He’ll get in playful moods and start running and jumping around, especially when you come home and he knows he’s getting a treat. Thunder behaves well with other dogs, but will often want to stay by himself and doesn’t appreciate another pet in his space. He is house trained, but needs to be taken out frequently. Thunder also knows what a crate is and doesn’t get stressed when in one, but it’s not recommended for more than a few hours. He’s not a barker, but if something outside startles him he will bark a little. He does well in big storms and if he gets scared he’ll just find a nice little space to crawl into, usually around the pillows on the couch.
Becki is a pretty little red and white Piebald Doxie. She is 2 years old and weighs a mere 12 pounds. This young girl was found along with 25 other dogs dumped on a rural Virginia Road. FRD took Becki and several other dogs into rescue. She is sweet and dis great in her foster home. She mastered the doggy door to get in and out of the back yard, plays nicely with the other fosters in the home and goes to her crate when she is tired.
And now, thanks to the efforts of Forever Dachshund Rescue Becki has gone to her furever home with a family all her own.
