Oscar 3 - RI

Oscar is doing well. He was very thin when he got here, all skin and bones and I was very concerned about his weight. He acted as though he was starving all of the time. I have been feeding him (5) small meals a day and he has started to pick up some weight now and looking like a doxie. I do know about his background and I must say that I don't know how long it will take for him to totally trust anyone again. He is making progress and coming out of his shell a little more every day, but it's going to take time and patience and love. He seems happy enough, but still enjoys sleeping alone on his doggie bed. He loves Franklin and they romp and play in the backyard when it is sunny and warm. He is such a little sweetheart and has a very kind personality, but is still very timid and unsure of himself. He has had a few accidents in the house the first week he was here, but the second week he has using the doggie door every time, so I am very happy about that. Not to worry, Oscar has found his Furever Home here with us. We love him dearly and I know with time and lots of love, that he will get his confidence back. He deserves only the best and rest assured, that we are giving him everything that he needs. It is such a shame. He didn't even know how to play with a toy, but Franklin has been great with him, teaching him, giving him his space, and playing with him when he wants to play. I am so proud of Frank, for being such a nice boy. So far, he doesn't seem the least bit jealous of Oscar, and seems to understand that Oscar needs a lot of love. We still call him Oscar, but also call him Mister Myers, which he is starting to answer to. Please tell everyone at Furever thank you for me. It was a pleasure working with all of you girls and I admire all the time and effort that you spend helping these wonderful little doxies find their perfect home. You girls are outstanding!! I will write again soon about Mister Myers progress, and as soon as I replace my camera, I will send some pictures. Thanks again for everything.

Zoey 2 - SC

I fell in love with Zoey with Laura took her out of the back of her car and put her in my arms. Her tail was wagging and she started kissing me right away. The ride home didn't faze her in the least, she lay down on the front seat and proceeded to go to sleep. I think it was a very long and tiring journey from South Carolina to Rhode Island and then on to Massachusetts. My biggest fear was Zoey and Abby together. Abby is my daughter, Julianne's mini dachshund. She is 2 years old and spoiled!! We love Abby and she comes over once a week and spends the night with us. But she is very protective and jealous of other dogs. Zoey could've cared less that Abby barked and barked at her. Now they chase each other around the house and the back yard. My daughter bought Zoey a stuffed porcupine that squeaks. She loves it. Problem is when Abby comes over, Abby thinks it's hers because she's got one too. Abby chases Zoey, barking at her and I swear Zoey knows it when she is tormenting Abby. Zoey will drop the porcupine and Abby grabs it and runs off. Zoey gets it back and on and on they go. Very funny to watch. Every day, Zoey settles in a little bit more. She is in the crate during the day, and is so excited when she sees us walk in the door. All she wants to do is kiss, kiss, kiss. She's been alone all day and doesn't even want to get outside to the bathroom - just kiss me, kiss me, kiss me!!! She is very well behaved. She loves her rawhide chews and will chew on one of them all night long. She has only had a couple of accidents in the house. She goes right to the door when she needs to go out. My daughter stopped by the house yesterday to visit Zoey and took this picture of her. It is a very cute picture! We are so glad we rescued Zoey. She is a beautiful little girl, we love her and look forward to many, many years with her. Thank you Forever Dachshund Rescue for being there to rescue her!! Jean

Sassy - SC

From Tina, Sassy's new furever mom... We love our Sassy! As her foster mom, I just couldn’t let her go! She is doing great, though now that she is our Furever girl and not just our foster, she is showing her bossy side ;-) We’re still working on sitting, but her manners have improved two-fold since coming into our care! I’ve attached a picture of her with her little brother Peet from Christmas morning, they just couldn’t bear to get up yet! Sassy is the silver dapple and Peet is the chocolate dapple.

Nikki - SC

Update from Sarah, Niki's new furever mom... Our adoption of Niki has gone by so effortlessly. It seems she has been with us much longer than seven weeks. Abby and Niki get along well. Both girls wrestle and chase each other down our hallway most evenings. It is great fun to watch. Niki is quite a kisser and loves to lick Abby and any human who holds her. Our dogs look so much alike that we have to look at collar colors to find which dog is being called. Of course, any dog mommy knows her fur babies up close. (That's Niki on the left in pink, Abby on the right in red.)
