Our Rescues

---

Rescue #50 - Arlo is a 16 month old gorgeous boy whose family didn't have enough time to spend with him so they did what was best in order to find him the right home.  Arlo loves other dogs but does have some separation anxiety and we are working on housebreaking.  He still needs to be neutered but should be ready for a forever home in a month or so.  

Rescue # 45  Mabel is said to be a Jack Russell Dachshund mix who is six years old.  Her teeth are beautiful and our vet thinks she may be younger.  She has a very arched spine which is due to her hip dysplasia.  She is being treated for Lyme disease too.  

Rescue #46. Etta is about 12 years old and came to us with two other senior doxies.  All were very malnourished.  Etta had a dental, was spayed, and had a benign mammary tumor removed.  She was named for the singer Etta James and she is quite vocal so the name fits!

Rescue #49 Finley came to us at less than three months old after an accidental break to his femur.  He has had surgery and is recovering nicely.  We have already received a large number of applications and are processing them to find him the best forever home after his is fully recovered. 

Rescue #44 Peggy Sue is a stray who was captured by a Good Samaritan.  She is estimated to be about ten but that is just a guess.  She had her dental and spay and has a clean bill of health.  She is very sweet and a quick learner (learned the dog door in a day!).  She is quite the teenager - likes to sleep and lie around the house! She gives the best kisses and loves to get scratches and be cuddled.  The perfect lap dog!

Rescue #42. Thelma is eight years old and was surrendered because her owner was spending very long days away from her.  We have a vet visit scheduled and will post more as we get to know her.  

Rescue #41 Little Man.  Little Man is about 13 years old and has several tumors on his underside in addition to a  mouthful of rotten teeth.  He has surgery scheduled in the next couple of weeks.  

Rescue #40 Oswald. Oswald is a young dog who came to us with a broken leg.  Sadly his previous owner waited before surrendering him so we aren't sure how we are going to deal with this injury, since it may be too old to correct.  We have a consultation with an orthopedic doctor to determine the best course of action.  We thank the shelter for contacting us immediately so this little guy didn't have to spend one night in the shelter. 

 Rescue # 53 Margo is from a local shelter - she was a stray in desperate need of a grooming and vetting. She is estimated to be about ten years old and is just the sweetest little thing.  Not phased by other dogs, housebroken, and her happy place is with her person.  We will soon be getting her spayed and she will also have a dental.   

Rescue # 6 - Rocco 02/28/19, age 10 1/2

He found himself back in the shelter not once but twice after being adopted a few years ago.  He started out very quiet but quickly settled in with all the other dogs  and like any dachshund, can be quite vocal.  He is a sweet, sweet boy and for the life of me, I can't figure out why he was in the shelter twice. He is on our Biggest Loser JOMDR Style diet as he needs to drop a few pounds.  Once he loses that weight, his forever home will be with a retired couple.  

Rescue #5 - Percy. 1/15/19, age 5

Persey, now known as Percy is a  chiweenie whose owners' family situation changed and were unable to care for her.  

Percy is now spayed and enjoying her forever home and is being spoiled by her mom, dad, sister, and baby brother.  

Her grandma crochets her the cutest sweaters!

Rescue #4 - Karley. 12/22/18, age 5 

Karley spent the first year and a half living in a barn before her previous owner saved her from that life.  Sadly her owner has become ill and is no longer able to care for her.She is a very sweet cream wire haired girl who just wants to be on your lap.  She has lost a few pounds and also six teeth during her dental and is currently being treated for Lyme disease and a parasite. She is now enjoying the good life with several other dachshunds. 

Rescue #3 - Mollie. 12/22/18, age 14

Mollie is a tiny girl at just over ten pounds.  She is currently being treated for a couple of different parasites and had a much needed dental (but didn't lose any teeth!).  Mollie was rescued  first in 2016 after her young owner went off to college and it was determined she had been allergic.  Mollie has spent the last two years in a loving home with lots of fur siblings but sadly her owner has become ill and can no longer care for her.  Mollie has a beautiful coat and gets along so well for an older gal.  When it's meal time, she actually runs to her bowl!  Mollie is now enjoying retirement in a small town along the Chesapeake Bay with her mom, brother, and two dogs. UPDATE - sadly we lost Mollie in 2021 but she lived a long and happy life and was spoiled!

Rescue #2 - Chase.  12/13/18, age 11

Chase was surrendered to an area shelter when his divorcing family decided they couldn't take on his medical expenses and requested that he be euthanized. He came to us with a skin infection, a mass on his chest, some of the worst teeth we've seen which caused his lower jaw to erode, an eye infection, and red and swollen feet. But he is a complete sweetheart - tail is always wagging. Thanks to our wonderful donors, he has been fully vetted and is on the mend. Our vet was even able to save some of his teeth.  He does have chronic dry eye which requires ointment twice daily in his eyes for the rest of his life. 

He is going to a wonderful family with three other dogs including another dachshund.  

Rescue #1 - Emmitt.  10/29/18, age 10 months.

Emmitt's former owner didn't have time for a high energy puppy. He was well loved and very well cared for.  After getting him neutered, he quickly found a forever home.  

He now lives on a farm with another dachshund , a lab puppy who has become his BFF, a cat, and some horses. He gets to play with a lot of grandkids and has a huge yard.  He is a very happy boy and his new vet says he has "Arnold Schwarzenegger thighs"!
