Ziggy lost his home due to no fault of his own. He originally came to SCDR with another dachshund that the previous family thought he was bonded to. But since he has been with SCDR, Ziggy has become very independent and is happier without his former partner. He wants to get all the love and attention, and not have to share his toys, food, or bed. We separated them and both are doing much better.

Ziggy is very active and enjoys socializing with all his foster friends. He loves going for walks a couple of times a day. He needs to use a harness to help prevent excessing pulling. Ziggy would love to have you throw a ball for him. He gives wonderful kisses.

He is crate trained, but his house training is a work in progress. He needs a regular potty schedule and walks to burn extra energy. He needs a home with a very secure yard and a dog door. He definitely cannot be apartment/condo dog. He will bark at strange noises which will result in complaints from neighbors and the HOA. He cannot be a ranch dog. He will bark at horses and other barnyard animals.

We think Ziggy would be fine as an “only dog” with an active person who works from home. At mealtimes, Ziggy is a good eater (a trait much appreciated by rescue folks) and thinks all the food should be his and his alone. To prevent altercations, we’ve been feeding him separately. The same goes for treats. He has little interest in toys.

Ziggy desires to sleep in the big bed with his people. Ramps are encouraged to prevent jumping off the bed or furniture. He is very long and very short. Stairs would also pose a danger to him. We are looking for a home all on one level as well.

We encourage families with teenage children to apply for Ziggy. No babies or toddlers please. Ziggy plays too rough to be safe with little kids. Again, no barnyard animals. Even though the former owners said Ziggy was safe with cats, we do not recommend it.

Ziggy is healthy, has had a dental, is current on vaccinations, and he is microchipped. If you can give Ziggy a loving home, please contact Dena at (562) 694-6868 or email Dena@SCDR.org. An adoption application and home check are required.

Beanie came from a good home with people who loved him since he was an 8 week old puppy. But two babies came along one year after the other, and now there are twins on the way. It was just too much for the young couple to handle. Beanie was not getting the level of attention he deserved.. Luckily, a friend recommended that they contact SCDR to find Beanie a better home with people who will love him and make him the center of the universe.

Beanie is crate trained and is reliably house trained. He is doing great. No indoor accidents. He learned the dog door on his first day at his new foster home. He loves going for walks and is very well behaved in the car. He loves to sit on the sofa and survey the room enjoying all the activity in his foster home. He gives tiny kisses and loves to be petted. He also likes to eat his dinner sitting on the sofa. (What can we say? We spoil him.)

Beanie is very loving and wants to be held and cuddled. He sleeps in the big bed with his foster siblings and the resident dogs. He gets along very well with other dachshunds and would love to have a female companion for fun and games.

He likes children, but is definitely not fond of babies or toddlers. He is safe with most children over the age of 8. We don’t know if he likes cats, but we doubt it, because he chases squirrels and birds in the back yard.

Beanie is not an excessive barker. He was a bit anxious the first few days in his foster home, but it has passed, and now he has no issues with his foster mom and dad coming and going from home. He needs a home all on one level. . . . no stairs, as he has very short legs and a long torso.

Beanie loves going for walks, but is anxious in the car unless he can sit in someone’s lap. He likes to look out the window.

Beanie has had a dental, his vaccines updated, and is microchipped. He is ready for his new forever home. If you are interested in Beanie, please contact Dena at (562) 694-6868 or e-mail Dena@SCDR.org. An adoption application and home check are required.

Gracie and Henry are half-siblings. They are not littermates, but they have the same father, just different mothers. They are available together or individually. They were not given up easily. Sadly, when the daughter and two grandsons moved in with the grandmother, the situation became untenable. (The little boys were not kind to Gracie and Henry.) The dogs came to SCDR for their own safety and to find a loving home.

Gracie and Henry are quiet, a bit shy, very sweet, and not barky. They are as fabulous as they come and will make any new family both happy and proud to have either or both of them. They are good with teenage children, but would also be great with recent retirees (up to 70 yrs). (No babies, toddlers, or children under 12 years old.) We don’t know how they feel about cats.

They are leash trained. They love going for walks. They are excelling at crate training. They are active and playful with each other. They sleep peacefully in their crate in the master bedroom, curling up side by side until morning. They are getting a remedial course in house training and how to use a dog door. We are looking for a family with a home all on one level with access to a secure yard via a dog door.

Gracie and Henry are beautiful inside and out, and have sleek smooth coats. They love to be held, and enjoy belly rubs and ear massages. They both love to explore the yard, and can often be found outside enjoying the day and the warm sun. They can eat side-by-side without bothering each other’s bowl.

Gracie and Henry are fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and microchipped. All they need is a family to love them for the rest of their lives. Do you have an empty lap that needs warming? Does your face need washing with doggie kisses? Then Gracie and Henry are up to the task.

Applications are no longer being accepted for Gracie and Henry. Please look at our other dogs available for adoption.

T-Bone and another puppy were purchased from a back yard breeder off an ad on Craig’s List. The lady originally went to there to buy one puppy, but after seeing the conditions the pups were living in, she didn’t have the heart to leave the other one behind. Unable to take on 2 puppies at once, she contacted SCDR and asked us to help find T-Bone a home as he was definitely a dachshund mix, probably “chiweenie”. (The other puppy was more of a Chihuahua/Pomeranian/Terrier type.) We were happy take T-Bone.

T-Bone has the potential to be a wonderful family member. But right now, he needs to be socialized more with people. He needs a family that is patient, loving, yet firm that can help T-Bone learn new and wonderful things. He is a blank slate and needs continued house training and leash training. T-Bone is fine with other dogs, plays nicely, and would benefit greatly from having a confident female companion to help with him social skills. We don’t know if he is safe with cats, probably not.

T-Bone is crate trained, but he still needs someone to take him outside every couple of hours and stay out there with him to praise him for a good potty. He will not truly “get it” for a few more weeks. We are working on leash-training, but this also will require adopter dedication.

T-Bone sleeps through the night in a crate in the master bedroom. He is already begging to sleep in the big bed under the covers with his foster siblings. Once he settles in, he loves to be held and cuddled.

The ideal home for T-Bone would have the following qualities:

• Someone home most days, stay-at-home moms/dads, folks who work from home, or recent retirees.

• Previous dachshund experience is a definite requirement.

• Optional: A confident young female dog for play and companionship.

• A very secure INDOOR place for T-Bone to be when no one is at home.

• Applicants must be between 30 and 70 years of age.

• No babies, toddlers or preschoolers please, but we will consider children 10 years and up.

T-Bone is neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped. If you are interested in T-Bone, please contact Dena at (562) 694-6868 or email Dena@SCDR.org. An adoption application and home check are required.

The tax deductible donation for T-Bone is $700.00

Daphne and two of her sisters came to SCDR in early February from a breeder/hoarder situation. We had them all professionally groomed, spayed, and microchipped. The vet threw in light dentals on all three, as well as treating ear infections.

Daphne is a happy girl who enjoys a quiet home environment. Daphne was very shy at first. It took a couple of weeks for her to adjust to living in an indoor environment. She now loves her crate and soft blankets. She likes lap-time and petting once she adjusts to her new home. She might even be safe with dog-savvy cats as she has never been exposed to them.

We would prefer to place Daphne with “empty nesters” or a family that has older children. She is not an apartment/condo dog. She needs a dog door and access to a very secure, fenced yard. She is not reliably house trained yet but is getting there. She needs a schedule and consistent, positive feed-back. Daphne would enjoy having a male dachshund to mentor her and for companionship. Daphne needs leash training as she was strictly a back-yard dog in her previous home.

The ideal family for Daphne would have the following attributes:

• Someone at home most of the day, stay-at-home moms/dads or folks who work from home.

• Previous dachshund experience is a must.

• Another dog for play and companionship. She might even be a good candidate to live with cats.

• A very secure INDOOR place for Daphne to be when no one is at home.

• Applicants must be between 30 and 75 years of age.

• No infants or toddlers, please, but we will consider families with teenage children.

Applications are no longer being accepted for Daphne. Please look at our other dogs available for adoption.

Conchis was the center of the universe with her family until it was recently discovered that their toddler is allergic to dogs and the newborn is showing signs of it too. What’s a mother to do? She must put the health and well-being of her children before anything else, and little Conchis found her way to rescue to find a new loving home.

Conchis is adorable in every way – sweet, even tempered and very, very kissy. Oh, those ears! We know for a fact that she’s a doxie/frenchie mix. Her father was a dachshund and her mother a French Bulldog. As both dachshunds and frenchies are prone to IVDD, a home all on one level would be ideal. No stairs.

A happy, well-adjusted little girl, Conchis gets along great with other dogs. She loves to play “wrestle-mania”. She would be okay as an single dog, but only if her people didn’t work long hours. She’s a very good girl, but she is a puppy and does mischief if not properly supervised.

She appears to be housetrained, and she learned how to use the dog door right away. She likes sleeping in the big bed but will go into her nighttime crate without protest. She is very easy to get along with and would be a good choice for a first-time dog owner or for a family with gentle children over 8 years old.

Conchis has been spayed, is current on her vaccinations, and is microchipped, She is very healthy and ready for her new home.

If you can give Conchis the type of home she needs, please contact Dena at 562-694-6868 or email Dena@SCDR.org. An adoption application and home check are required.
