Pickles (6008)

Age: 6 years
D.O.B.  01/19/2020
Color: Black & Tan Piebald
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Tweenie – 15 lbs.

Pickles is so handsome he will take your breath away. He stops traffic when out for a walk. Pickles was originally rescued from the Apple Valley Shelter in early 2023. The family really didn’t have time for him, and he lacked training when he came to SCDR just after Christmas 2025. We were happy to help Pickles learn the things he needs to be successfully adopted.

Pickles is very happy in his new foster home. He is eating well and his behavior is improving. He was a bit standoffish when he arrived at his foster home. He is getting a remedial course in crate training and house training. He is doing good.

Pickles needs an adults-only home. He likes to hang out with his mellow foster siblings, but avoids the rough-housing younger ones. He OK with the sweet-natured female dogs. He would really prefer to be an “only dog” and not have to compete for attention. We don’t; know if he is safe with cats, because he was never exposed to them. He enjoys being held and cuddled. Just give him a soft blanket and a spot on the sofa to snuggle and he’s a happy little camper.

Pickles loves going for walks and enjoys checking out all the good smells along the way. He is still a bit shy of strangers and big dogs. He needs a home with people who are patient, understand that friendship is earned - not a given, and can set boundaries. Basically, he needs someone who is very dachshund-savvy. We feel that Pickles would not be safe with young children, but teens would be OK.

Pickles is house trained, but he needs to be reminded occasionally to go outside and potty. He had one indoor accident on his first day; then he figured out the dog door. We are looking for a family who can give him a lot of love and attention along with basic training. He needs a home with a yard and a dog door so he can continue to practice his good potty habits. Do you work from home? Pickles would make a perfect addition to your family if you don’t have to work long hours away from home.

Pickles is current on his vaccines and is microchipped. If you can provide the right home for Pickles, please contact Dena at dena@scdr.org or call 562-694-6868. A home check and an adoption application are required.

Chachita (6006)

Age:   6-1/2 years
D.O.B.: 10/15/2018
Color:  Black & Tan
Coat:  Smooth
Sex:  Female / Spayed 
Size: 19 lbs.

Chachita, also affectionately known as Chacha, was brought into her family at the perfect time – the daughters were young enough to be fun but old enough to be responsible, and her mom and dad looked forward to Chacha’s presence and love after the girls moved out. Then real life happened – Chacha’s dad passed away, and her mom was overwhelmed dealing with her own grief as well as her daughters’. Chacha had been confined during her dad’s long hospice, and afterward, the family was not prepared to assume her ongoing care. Chacha’s groomer was asked by the family to find her the perfect loving home that she deserved. And lucky for Chacha, her groomer was a Southern California Dachshund Relief foster/volunteer!

Even though Chacha was well-loved by her family, she had limited exposure to other dogs and people. However, it didn’t take long for her to become comfortable mingling with her foster mom’s pack. And as she became more comfortable with the dog pack, she became more trusting of other people. But it is apparent that Chacha mostly enjoys being with her people. If Chacha had her way, she’d be the one and only, but she has shown no aggression when that is not the case – she just finds a quiet spot of her own. However, she truly enjoys snuggling in the big bed with her foster mom and the other dogs at night, when everyone is quiet and still.

Chacha is piddle pad-trained, and house trained with a doggy door. She enjoys sunbathing and just wandering around the yard! She rides well in a car. She’s an enthusiastic leash walker, but she needs consistent training to learn not to pull. It is not known whether she is cat-safe – she has lived with cats in her previous and foster homes, but physically separate from them, and she respects that.

Chacha’s vaccines are up to date. She’s spayed. Microchipped, and just had a complete dental cleaning. Chacha now gives the sweetest kisses!

Ideal applicants will need the following qualifications:

  • Someone with dachshund experience who is not gone from home for long periods of time.

  • Someone who is active enough to take Chacha for walks on a daily basis and continue her leash training.

  • Chacha would do very well as a one-and-only, and might prefer it, but she also probably wouldn’t mind a like-sized older, less-demanding, male doggie companion.

  • A comfortable and quiet place for Chacha to be when no one is at home.

  • Be between 30 and 66, please. We will consider families with pre-teen and older children.

If you are interested in adopting Chacha, please contact Dena at Dena@SCDR.org or call (562) 694-6868. A home check and adoption application are required.

Conchis (6005)

Age:  16 months
D.O.B.:  09/10/2024
Color: Mostly White
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Female/Spayed
Size: Tweenie – 12 lbs.

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.

Pepper (6003)

Age: 6 years
D.O.B.:  08/07/2019
Color: Black & Tan
Coat: Smooth
Sex:  Female/Spayed
Size: Tweenie – 16 lbs.

Pepper had a wonderful home for her first 4 years, Then the babies came along. Pepper had no issues with them, however, both the toddler and newborn developed allergies to Pepper forcing the parents to choose to rehome her for the sake of the children’s health. Pepper was very confused and depressed when she first arrived at her SCDR foster home, but soon discovered it was really a fun gig most of the time.

Pepper is very loving and devoted to her people. She is definitely a “people” dog. She follows her foster mom around from room to room, either sitting at her feet or snuggling in her lap. Active retirees or folks who work from home would be best suited for a little girl like Pepper. Pepper is active, and she protects her home and yard from invaders.

Pepper enjoys going for walks. She gets very excited when she sees her leash come out. She walks at a brisk pace and greets strangers on her walks like family. She loves playing with stuffed toys, especially her fuzzy cow. She is an “alpha” personality, so any children in the home must be over 8 years old. Also, no other dogs in residence. She does not want to share her humans, food or toys. We don’t know how she is with cats, but we prefer to place her in a home without cats or other small furry creatures.

When meeting new people, Pepper is not shy at all, especially if treats are being offered. Pepper needs a home all on one level. This little girl is very short and very long and should not be going up and down stairs or jumping off the furniture, for that matter. She is in great physical condition, and preventing injury will keep her that way. Pepper expects to sleep in the big bed with her “pack”.

Pepper is house trained. She knows the doggy door. Her vaccinations are up-to-date, and she is also microchipped. She does not bark excessively, only when appropriate.

If you can give Pepper the type of home she needs, please contact Dena at dena@scdr.org or call (562) 694-6868. A home check and an adoption application are required.

Dolly (6001)

Age:  7 years
D.O.B.:  02/23/2019
Color:  Red
Coat:  Smooth
Sex:  Female/Spayed
Size: Tweenie – 14 lbs.

Dolly is heartbroken. She was the darling, loved, petted and spoiled little princess until her owner passed away, and no one in the family was in a position to take Dolly in. We were happy to step up to help Dolly.

Dolly is crate trained and goes into her crate willingly at night to sleep. She is a wonderful bed-cuddler as well and would be a welcome sleeping buddy, especially on those cold winter nights. Her body radiates like a little furnace. Her foster mom spoils her occasionally by letting her sleep in the big bed.

Dolly is house trained. She knows the dog door and will use a piddle pad on rainy days. (No self-respecting dachshund will go out in the rain to potty.) She was a bit shy with visitors and the other foster dogs in her temporary home at first, but has made lots of progress in her socialization. However, she has shown us that she really prefers to be an “only dog” in her new home.

We are looking for folks who work from home, empty nesters, or who are recently retired to lavish love and attention on Dolly. She is calm and delightful to be with. She is shy at first, but warms up quickly. Dolly loves to go for walks and is calm on car rides. She does not bark excessively, only when appropriate. She loves her special blanket and likes to wrap herself up in it like a little sausage.

Dolly never lived with young children or cats, so we will err on the side of caution, and say no to both.

Dolly’s vaccines are up-to-date and she is microchipped. If you have the type of home Dolly needs, please contact Dena at 562-694-6868 or email Dena@SCDR.org. A home check and an adoption application are required.

Milo (5993)

Ages:  14 months
D.O.B.: 11/09/2024
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size:  Tweenie - 12 lbs.

Marina (5994)

Ages: 2 years
D.O.B.:  11/12/2023
Color: Black & Tan
Coat: Smooth
Sex:  Female/Spayed
Size: Tweenie - 14 lbs.

~ milo & marina are a bonded pair & cannot be separated ~

Milo and Marina are casualties of the war on immigration. Their dad was deported to South Africa by ICE, and their mom was given 8 days to pack up and join her husband. She contacted SCDR, and we readily agreed to take them into our rescue program and find them the right home.

Milo and Marina are very sweet and still are very puppy-like. Each one is loving and affectionate. They give wonderful kisses. They are crate trained, and as house trained as they can be for dachshunds just barely out of puppyhood. They need a home with a yard and a dog door.

They cannot be apartment/condo dogs, as they bark at all strange noises and passersby. They need some leash training as they appear to hardly ever gotten to go for walks, but they did have free access to the back yard in their previous home. They get along with other dachshunds but needed supervised introductions, especially Milo.

Marina is very loveable, she is smart, very patient, and good natured. Milo is feisty. We separate them at dinnertime, as Marina will try to get Milo’s food. . . . she always finishes first and then looks for food to steal.

They are not cat-friendly. They are safe with children over 8 years old, though we would prefer teenagers. Ideally, we would like people who work from home and/or folks under 66 years old.

Milo and Marina are young, healthy, and have current vaccinations. They are microchipped. If you can give them a loving home together, please contact Dena at (562) 694-6868 or email Dena@SCDR.org. An application and home check are required.

Bentley Jr (5999)

Age:  9 years
D.O.B.:  03/11/2016
Color:  Red Sable
Coat:  Smooth
Sex:  Male/Neutered 
Size:  Standard – 25 lbs.

Junior got his name from his previous family. They had another dachshund named Bentley that passed away. So, they named him Bentley Jr. He answers to “Junior”.

Junior had a wonderful home for the past 9 years. But life has a way of throwing a curveball when least expected. For reasons the family wished kept confidential, they were forced to rehome Junior. All we can say is that Junior needs an “only dog” home, and he likes men. (He is OK with women, but he likes men better.) So, SCDR volunteered to take him in and find him the type of home he would be most happy in. He has proved to us that he will not abide having canine competition in his new home.

Isn’t Junior super cute? Check out those super short legs and chubby feet. His picture doesn’t do him justice. Junior is house trained, crate trained, good on a leash, and loves long walks. He is very good in the car and wants to ride shotgun in someone’s lap so he can see out the window.

Junior is very shy when meeting new people. Therefore, he interviews poorly. Instant gratification cannot be expected when meeting Junior for the first time. He’s had very little exposure to people outside his previous immediate family. He’s just shy. Adopters will need to be patient and allow Junior to get used to them and his new environment. Once he is comfortable, he is just a big loveable Teddy Bear.

Remember the rule of 3! This rule emphasizes the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement during the transition period.

  • First 3 days: The dog may feel stressed, anxious, and insecure in the new environment

  • Next 3 weeks: The dog starts to feel more comfortable and learns their new routine.

  • Following 3 months: The dog should be fully adjusted, feeling secure and confident, and bonded with the new family.

Junior gets along fine with the dachshunds in his foster home. He is supervised. He respects the “alpha dog” his foster mom. His former owner says he may be safe with cats, not sure. We’ll say “no cats”. Junior has to be an “only dog”.

Junior is healthy, fully vaccinated and microchipped. Junior is currently sleeping in a roomy crate in the master bedroom, but he really would love to be invited to sleep in the big bed with his people. Junior would be fine in most households, but he needs a family with older children or empty nesters. He is not good with visiting young grandchildren (no one under 6 years old). He could easily knock a small child down in enthusiastic play. He does not like to share his toys, but loves to play with his little blue ball.

If you are an admirer of the standard size dachshund and can provide Junior with the type of home he needs, please call Dena at 562-694-6868 or email at Dena@SCDR.org. An adoption application and home check are required.

Lelo (5996)

Age:  13 years
D.O.B.:  02/13/2012
Color:  Red
Coat:  Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Standard – 28 lbs.

Stitch (5997)

Age:  13 years
D.O.B.:  02/13/2012
Color:  Red Piebald
Coat:  Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size: Standard – 25 lbs.

~ lelo & stitch are a bonded pair & cannot be separated! ~

Lelo and Stitch were loved and cherished for all their 13 years. Then the family fell on hard times, making taking care of their veterinary needs unaffordable. No local family members wanted to take them in. Because Lelo and Stitch are a very seriously bonded pair, littermates, they came to SCDR together to find a wonderful home.

Lelo and Stitch are very well socialized and get along their fellow foster dogs. The brothers truly love each other and are closely bonded. Having Lelo and Stitch is like having one dachshund with two heads. You never see one without the other close-by.

In their previous home, they were fed table food, lots of treats and snacks resulting in both brothers being overweight. They are currently being fed a carefully measured diet, and they are slowly losing excess weight, but it will take a few more weeks and dedication to get these boys down to a more reasonable size. They will always be standards, just not overweight.

The brothers are house trained and crate trained. They share a large dog bed at night and enjoy having fellow foster siblings join them too. They love to be held and cuddled, and they are not shy about asking for hugs and belly rubs. They love going for leisurely walks. For now, going around the block is about all they want.

Lelo and Stitch need a home all on one level as stairs pose a serious danger for back injury considering their size and very short legs. They are not apartment dogs as they need a dog door and access to a secure yard to continue their good potty habits. The boys are safe with older children, however, they have not been exposed to cats.

They are current on vaccines, both recently had dentals, and have been microchipped. If you can provide a good home for both of them, please complete our online adoption application, and contact Dena at (562) 694-6868 or email Dena@SCDR.org.

Devin (5967)

Age:   10 years
D.O.B.:  09/01/2015
Color:  Black & Tan
Coat:  Smooth
Sex:   Male/Neutered
Size:  Tweenie – 14 lbs.

Devin was found stray on July 13, 2025, wandering around with a larger breed buddy (not a dachshund). A non-dachshund rescue group took them both in, but they were unable to get their medical needs met. One of our fosters, Jean, asked SCDR to take Devin under our wing and sponsor him. (He was not bonded with the larger breed dog he was found with.) Devin went to live with Jean.

Devin is shy, preferring to spend his time in one of the open community crates or dog beds at the far end of the house. His foster mom is working on socializing Devin. Devin is a mix, but not a chiweenie.

Devin does not like to be picked up, but otherwise, he is a very sweet boy. He is good in the car and on a leash. He loves going for walks. He is a senior and as such, has occasional indoor accidents, but he is getting a refresher course in house-training. The first thing we did was arrange for Devin to get a complete dental with bloodwork. He does not have any teeth left now.

Ideal applicants will need the following qualifications:

  • Someone with dachshund experience who is not gone from home for long periods of time.

  • Someone who is active enough to take Devin for walks on a daily basis and allow him to explore a bit and meet new dogs and people.

  • Although Devin would do very well as a one-and-only, he probably wouldn’t mind a like-sized dog companion of the female persuasion.

  • A comfortable and quiet place for Devin to be when no one is at home.

  • Be between 30 and 82, please. We will consider families with gentle teenage children (grandchildren).

Devin’s vaccines are up-to-date. He’s neutered and microchipped. If you are interested in Devin, contact Jean at jshill828@gmail.com. An adoption application and home check are required.

Brodie (5847)

Age:  8 years
D.O.B.:  07/27/2016
Color:  Cream
Coat:  Longhair
Sex:  Male/Neutered
Size:  Tweenie – 17 lbs.

Brodie was rescued from a Los Angeles “kill” shelter in July. They were so crowded, that Brodie was located in a dimly lit, noisy hallway in a crate. Our representative discovered him by chance. Brodie looks like a longhaired dachshund, but subsequent DNA testing revealed he is a mix of several breeds with very little dachshund in his DNA.

The only information provided when he was surrendered to the shelter was his age and that he had a flea-bite allergy. He was grossly underweight, had a mouthful of rotten teeth, and was terrified. Our representative rescued him with a plan to foster him and help him heal physically and emotionally. He is now ready for a forever home where he will receive the love and attention he so richly deserves

The minute our foster/volunteer brought him home, he crawled into her lap and kissed her. Once he had a bit of time to decompress, she had his medical/dental needs addressed. With tender, loving care, his sweet personality emerged. He loves people. He is friendly when meeting strangers at home, gentle, and vocal (in an adorable way). He wants to be close. Brodie is currently sleeping in a cozy dog bed beside the big bed. In his new home, he would love to sleep in the big bed and snuggle all night.

Brodie is crate trained and 90% house trained. He does have occasional accidents. He also loves to go on walks as well as just hang out at home. Brodie does not react well to strange dogs he encounters on walks. We don’t know what happened in his early life that may have made him leash-reactive.

Brodie started out not liking going to the vet. But his foster mom has been working with him on vet visits, and he now behaves in an acceptable manner if kept on a tight leash and wait-time in the lobby is short and not too crowded.

He loves human companionship so much that someone who is retired or works from home would be a good match. He is safe with older children (teens). However, he does best in a peaceful environment. We would like him to have a private home all on one level as he has age-related spondylosis (curvature of the spine) which might explain why he prefers to be picked up vertically (like how you’d pick up a small child under the arms). Brodie needs a dog door and access to a fenced yard to maintain his good potty habits.

Brodie’s vaccines are current, he has had a senior blood panel and a dental (he now has only one tooth). He was microchipped at the shelter. Brodie has a mild (grade 3) heart murmur for which he does not require any medication at this time.

If you can provide the type of home Brodie needs, please contact Dena at dena@scdr.org or call (562) 694-6868. An adoption application and home check are required.

Ziggy (5957)

Ages: 5 years
D.O.B.:  02/02/2020
Color: Black & Tan
Coat: Smooth
Sex:  Male/Neutered
Size:  Standard – 21 lbs

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 experienced a very mild back issue prior to coming to SCDR, The family did not want to deal with installing ramps or doggy stairs, so we happily took him in. Ziggy’s back issue resolved quickly – he probably hurt himself jumping off the furniture. A few days on meds and crate rest, and he was better than new.

Ziggy is very active and enjoys socializing with all his foster friends. He is a joy to hold and cuddle if you can get him to sit still for a few minutes. He gives wonderful kisses. He is crate trained and as house-trained as he can be. 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.

We think Ziggy would be fine as an “only dog”. At mealtime, Ziggy thinks all the food should be his and his alone. To prevent altercations, we’ve been feeding him in a crate. 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. 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.

Dixie (5958)

Ages:  5 years
D.O.B.:  02/14/2020
Color: Red
Coat: Smooth
Sex:  Female/Spayed
Size:  Mini – 8 lbs.

Dixie lost her home through no fault of her own. She originally came to SCDR with another dachshund that we were told she was bonded to. But since she has been with SCDR, Dixie has become independent and is happier without her former partner. He was over-powering and bullying her,making her unhappy. We separated them and both are doing much better.

An extremely beautiful girl, Dixie is also very loving and affectionate. She gets along with the other dogs in her foster home. Her favorite thing is getting belly rubs from her people. Of course, Dixie gets to sleep in the big bed, as she loves cuddling and snuggling under the covers.

Dixie loves going for walks and rides in the car if she can sit in someone’s lap and look out the window. So, if you enjoy traveling in your R.V., Dixie is ready to ride “shotgun”. We encourage empty-nesters and families with teenage children to apply for Dixie. No babies or toddlers please.

Dixie is crate trained and house trained, but she needs someone to periodically remind her to go outside to potty. She needs a home all on one level with a secure yard and a dog door. She would not be a good candidate for apartment/condo living. She will alert you to every passerby and outside noise. Apartments and condos have too much foot-traffic to make this practical. A private home, all on one level would be ideal for Dixie.

She would prefer to be “only dog” in her new forever home if her people work from home or are newly retired and home most of the time. Dixie is safe with gentle children over 10 years old, and she is respectful of cats. She won’t chase if they don’t run.


We are no longer accepting applications for Dixie. Please look at our other dogs available for adoption.

Sulley (5954)

Age:  6 years
D.O.B.:  9/11/2019
Color:  Red & White
Coat:  Smooth
Sex: Male/Neutered
Size:  Full-Sized Standard – 30 lbs.

Sulley is a big, loveable Baby Huey, and he is friendly to everyone. Sulley lost his previous home through no fault of his own. The family was forced to move from a rental home to a small apartment with no yard. Sulley was very unhappy being cooped up all day while everyone was away at work.

Sulley adjusted immediately to his foster home, and made himself comfortable and part of the pack already there. Sulley hangs out with the bigger dogs in his foster home, however, he has no issues at all with the smaller dogs in his new pack, nor did they with him. He has been exposed to cats, but we do not feel that they would be safe occupying the same space.

Sulley was born with a very obvious birth defect. He is missing his right rear leg and the toes on his left rear leg. Neither defect has posed any significant problem for him. He gets around perfectly.

Sulley is crate trained and 100% house trained. He prefers a cushy dog bed, and not a crate, for nighttime sleeping. He would love to be invited to sleep in the big bed with his people. He has no problem hopping up on the sofa for a good cuddle while you watch TV or read. We recommend having a ramp for easy access to the sofa and the big bed.

Sulley loves leisurely walks about the neighborhood and is an excellent passenger in the car. Despite his handicap, Sulley is way more active than some of his younger foster brothers and sisters. He has the activity level of a dog half his age. He gets very excited when he sees his harness and leash come out. He likes stopping to sniff messages and answering them. (We get e-mail, he gets p-mail.)

Sulley would do best in a home with a female canine companion and a family who can give him lots of attention. He could also be the “only dog” and not have to complete for food or attention. Sulley is safe with children over 5 years old. (He would have to be carefully supervised with babies or toddlers.)

If you are interested in adopting Sulley, please contact Dena at Dena@SCDR.org or call (562) 694-6868. A home check and adoption application are required.

Chachi

Age:  ~4 years
Color:  Black
Coat: Smooth
Sex:  Male/Neutered
Size:  Small – 14 lbs

Yes, we know, Chachi is not a dachshund. He is a blend of French Bull Dog and Boston terrier. He loves to play with other dogs, even larger breeds. His best friend in his foster home is a gentle Pit Bull mix. (However, visiting the dog park or dog beach will take some practice.) His foster mom feels he would do best as the “only dog” in the home with someone there most of the time.

Chachi is great with children over 10 years old and loves their attention. He is great on leash and loves to go for walks. Chachi enjoyed the attention and walks from a group of pre-teen volunteers at a recent dog event his foster mom attended with him.

Chachi is an absolute sweetheart and a total love. He is very healthy and active, but also loves to snuggle under the covers. He is a good eater, and with his new diet of good food, he has the most amazing shiny black coat.

Chachi is an absolute sweetheart. He is also a lap dog. He is active, loves to explore the yard, loves to go for walks, but his favorite spot in next to you. He is the consummate bed-dog and loves to cuddle all night in the big bed.

Chachi is housebroken, knows the dog door, and is not a barker. He is perfect for condo living if you have an outdoor space (fenced in patio) for him to continue his good potty habits. (No balconies – too dangerous.) He is definitely not trustworthy with cats or other small pets.

Chachi is neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped. If you can give Chachi a loving home, please contact Sylvia at: Sylviagy@yahoo.com

The adoption fee for Chachi is $500.00

Millie (Courtesy)

Age:  ~4 years
Color:  Fawn & White
Coat: Smooth
Sex:  Female/Spayed
Size:  Medium – 24 lbs

In case you were wondering, no, Millie is not a purebred dachshund. She is a Bulldog/Dachshund blend (we don’t see too many of those!). Millie is a Bulldog/Dachshund blend. She was originally adopted from a high-kill shelter by a retired couple. After a few weeks, they realized she was too young and too active for them. SCDR agreed to sponsor her and Sylvia took her in and promised to find Millie the right home.

Millie loves to play with other dogs that are her same size or a larger breed. Her foster mom feels she would do best as the “only dog” in the home with someone there most of the time.

Millie loves every person she’s ever met and loves their attention. Children need to be older, no babies, toddlers, or pre-schoolers. She is timid on leash, but she will walk with you. She’s a “home body” and needs a home with a secure yard as she is also a “digger” (thanks to her dachshund heritage).

Millie is an absolute sweetheart and a total love-bug. She is very healthy and active, but also loves to snuggle under the covers in the big bed. She is an excellent eater, and with her new diet of good food, she has the most amazing shiny coat.

Millie is also a lap dog. She is active and has a high prey-drive. No cats, small furry pets, exotic birds, or reptiles can be in her environment. Did we mention she loves to cuddle in the big bed?

Millie is housebroken, knows the dog door, and is not a barker. She is perfect for condo living if you have an outdoor space (fenced in patio) for her to continue her good potty habits. (No balconies – too dangerous.)

Millie is spayed, fully vaccinated and microchipped. If you can give Millie a loving home, please contact Sylvia at: Sylviagy@yahoo.com.

The adoption fee for Millie is $400.00
