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.

Molly and Katie came in to rescue through no fault of their own, and in a situation we have seen too many times: Their owner had to deal with some severe medical conditions an felt she could no longer properly care for them and thought it would be best for them to have a new forever home. We were more than happy to take them into rescue.

Once here, it did not take them long to adjust to their new surroundings. At first Molly was the brave and outgoing one and Katie was on the shy side. After two weeks, Katie came out of her shell and is probably more outgoing than Molly. They are now running around their foster home as if they own the place.

What we did determine about Molly and Katie is that even though they came together and are pals, they are not bonded to each other. They do sleep together, but each have their own circle of dachshund friends. In the evening, Katie likes to sit with the humans whereas Molly is content sitting with people or be on the other end of the couch intertwined with another couple of dachshunds.

During the day, Molly is quite content hanging around inside the house only going out to take care of business or because the people are out there. Molly would be perfectly happy being an apartment or RV dog. Katie, on the other hand, loves being outside, either playing with the other dogs, climbing among the rocks searching for lizards or just laying in the sun. Usually, we have to go out and get her back in the house. She definitely needs a secure yard to play in. Both are dog door savvy.

Both are not fussy eaters, and they don’t mind sharing out of each other’s bowl, or finishing and then go to see what the others have to eat.

They both get along great with all the other dachshunds sharing the couch, beds or toys. We don’t know about how they feel about cats.

They do sleep together at night in a bed in the master bedroom and have not made any effort to get into the big bed. They sleep peacefully through the night.

Because they probably were not on a consistent schedule, their potty skills are a little rusty, so we have them on a regular schedule to go outside and they are improving daily and definitely need to go out right after eating and before bedtime. You will need to continue with their training.

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