Hi there --- anyone know of a baby or young doxie in need of a new home in the New England area?

are you looking for a rescue....their are SO many that need homes.....

try:

www.petfinder.org
www.almosthomerescue.org
www.c2cdr.org
www.drna.org
http://www.daretorescue.com/
www.drwp.net

You can try your local pounds. We got our dachshund from a training facility that also takes in unwanted animals. He was estimated at age of 1, already potty trained..so you might want to consider that too. Their are SO many unwanted dogs needing homes, especially now and within a few weeks after x-mas when they are no longer wanted.

If you are looking for a real puppy, please research reputable breeders--I could give you some if you like.

Feel free to ask any questions! Welcome btw!

I would try a rescue. Those animals are usualy so loving. Sometimes a have small issues but nothing that can't be worked with. Petunia is a little rescue.

:welcome2:

Thank you for focusing on rescue. Please start with the links that Loren has provided. As well I know Golfer_Girl is from the New England area, hopefully she will have some input for you.

Depending on the dog, you may not have to limit your search to your immediate area - I know Janet (tiggermiss) got her little Sophie from Louisiana (I think) and we live in Canada!

There are so many amazing Doxie's out there looking for a great family, it will take some time - but I know you will find a wonderful addition to your family.

And yes, even if you're looking for a puppy, they can be found via rescue. Courtney's Po came from rescue, as did Tanya's Piper!

Tasha was only 2 when we got her via rescue and she's 100% potty trained!!

While I didn't get Heidi from a rescue group, I did "rescue" her from a shelter (at least I consider that rescuing). It is the most REWARDING feeling to know that you are giving a dog a new lease on life with a new home. Yes, some rescues have minor issues, but if you have the time and patience, you will get through them!! I've had Heidi for 2 years and while we still have some minor issues, I cannot remember what life was like before her!!!

:welcome2: to the DLC!!! So glad you found us, and feel free to post anytime...questions, concerns, news stories (and even the strange and unusual)...Good luck with your dachsie search!!!

I live in New England. Remy is the first dog that I have ever had, so I hope this doesnt sound bad, but I didnt want to adopt or go to a rescue because I wanted a fresh dog that was all mine (I know, as I am writing it I know it was selfish :whack:) now that after being with Remy, I would totally go the rescue route when it is time to add a friend. Ok back to the original reason i responded. I did not have a ny luck finding a breeder in massachusetts, so I ended up getting Remy from a breeder in Houston Texas.

Gunner was only 7 weeks old when I got him, but at the time I didn't know about rescues so when we got ready to add on I went with rescue and we got pretty Petunia. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/IRMTRUDWHITE/100_0159.jpg

Here they are..

Thank you so much for considering rescue!!!! :appl: I work with Central Texas Dachshund Rescue, and I know that's far away, but if you are willing to travel to get your dog, you could try www.ctdr.org!

I'm so glad that you decided to rescue! :cheer2: I would try the links that Loren provided. If you don't find anything there, perhaps some of our members in the NE would know about some local rescues. You might also check on the internet. Do a search for dachshund rescue in your area. Some local shelters post on petfinder.com, but not all. Check your local SPCA or city or county shelter.

My first Dachshund as an adult was a rescue - Oscar. I then tried fostering - failed miserably and added Sam to the herd!!! Oscar was about 6 months old - Sam was about 4 months. You won't regret rescue!

:thanx: for considering a rescue Dachshund. Here are a couple of more sites for you to check out. I would look often as they are all breed rescue and possibly a little Doxie might show up. Good luck. :crossfin:

Try www.c2cdr.org. I got Molly from that rescue group 3 weeks ago and she is the greatest little girl on the planet!
