SCDR has been on a mission to rescue as many dachshunds as possible since 1994.  From the great state of California to Reno, Nevada, SCDR is rescuing dachshunds from whatever misfortune has befallen them, giving them whatever medical attention they need, providing a bit of basic training, and lovingly caring for them until the day they are adopted into their new forever homes.

Please inquire and we'll work with you to transfer them to where you live, or you can pick them up.  Please contact us for more info.

~ BUFFY & WILLOW ARE A BONDED PAIR & CANNOT BE SEPARATED ~

Buffy and Willow came into rescue due to no fault of their own. Their owner had to return to her home country in Europe due to family issues and felt best not to put them through the quarantine process and find them a new perfect home here – and that is what we do. After a brief stay with a rescue assistant, they were transported to me in Reno. Overwhelmed by fear and the unknown, they pretty much either huddled together in the corner of the exercise-pen in the yard or in their bed in the living room. In cases like this, the best course of action is to just let them be, and let them just observe the resident dachshunds to see things are not so bad and it’s a lot fun being here. It took about a week for them to want to hang out with the other dachshunds while still being hesitant of human interaction. After two weeks, it is improving. They have discovered the ramp to the couch and want to be picked up but still need some coaxing before they commit.

What we do know is that Buffy and Willow are a bonded pair of sisters and virtually inseparable. It is like having one dog with two heads. They play together, eat together and sleep together. They’re rarely out of each other’s sight.

Buffy and Willow are quite alike in appearance and personality-wise. Sometimes it is difficult to tell who-is-who unless they are side by side. Buffy is initially more outgoing than Willow, who tends to be on the shy side until she gets to know you. Buffy is also the brave one when exploring new territory with Willow bringing up the rear. They get along great with all the other dachshunds in the house, sharing beds and space on the couch. Buffy also likes to bark along with the K9’s on the live police shows, pretty funny actually.

We don’t know how they feel about cats. So we say “no cats” to be on the safe side.

Both are not fussy eaters and don’t mind sharing out of each other’s bowl. They are quite content to sleep together in a big fluffy bed and have shown no desire to sleep in the big bed.

On a nice day, Buffy and Willow both enjoy sunning themselves on the lawn in a big pile of fur. Both have seen the others go in and out of the doggy door and have shown interest but have not made the plunge yet. They will figure it out eventually.

Their potty training is a little rusty but getting better every day. We had a few accidents in the beginning (which was expected). We do take everyone outside on a regular basis and praise good behavior. You will have to give them some time to adapt to your schedule.

They are both spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, have had full blood panels, ECG’s and heartworm tested.

The new adoptive family must be aware that your home will be about the fourth in a few months. They will be shy and scared. You must just let them be and not bug them, just give them time to adapt you. Once they do, you will be rewarded greatly with two very loving dogs.

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