Look at me, I’m the real deal! I’m a true standard dachshund puppy and loving it! I was found by Animal Control wandering the streets, starving and emaciated. But you’d never know it by looking at me now! My foster mom did a great job of getting me healthy again. Check out my big silky ears. They wanted to call me Dumbo, but I’m not an elephant! I love to play (hey, I’m still a puppy) with everyone and everything. I rip up squeaky toys with my youthful exuberance.
I am a fast learner and could use more training. At night, just say “bedtime” and I’m straight in my crate. I love to please and cuddle. If we’re right for each other, I’ll even let you change my name.
If you think I am the right dog for you, please fill out an application with my name on it and contact my foster mom, Deb Bird at 941-322-8209 or 941-928-0761, about your interest or with questions, so she can contact you about becoming my new forever home.

Color: Chocolate/Tan

Hi my name is Coco or Cocoa-Puff (as my foster mom calls me). I was surrendered to the rescue because my former owners had small children and didn’t have enough time for me anymore. I would like to stay with my friend Maggie that I was surrendered with, if possible. I am typically a loner dog meaning that I do my own thing. I recently learned to use the doggy door and I am potty trained to go out in the yard.
I don’t give a lot of doggy kisses, but I do when I feel it is necessary. I will lay on you but mostly next to you on the couch and watch TV. I prefer to be inside, but I don’t like cats. I am not much of a hunter, but I love to go for walks daily. I need the exercise because I am a few pounds overweight. At night I lie next to my foster parents on a doggy bed and usually sleep the whole night through. I get along with other dogs; I currently have five other playmates. I would love if you could adopt me and make me yours, I would make a welcome addition to your family.
If you think I am the right dog for you, please fill out an application with my name on it and email my foster family at saveadoxie@yahoo.com about your interest or with questions, so they can contact you about becoming my new forever home.

Name: Maggie (12-34)
Age: 4 years old (DOB – 01/25/2008)
Sex: Female

Hi my name is Maggie. I am very affectionate and I love to show you and tell you how much I love you. I am a very skilled hunter, I love the backyard (and need a backyard in my forever home), anything that moves is fair game especially lizards, rabbits, and squirrels. I love to go for daily walks because I am a few pounds overweight.
I am still in the process of learning the doggy door, but I am trying. I am potty trained to go out in the yard if you let me out and do my business. I do not like cats, but do well with other dogs and children. When I’m not hunting in the yard, I will lay on you and bother you to give me the attention I deserve. After a few minutes, I will fall asleep on your lap after I give you doggy kisses.
During the day, I stay in a crate so my foster parents can go to work, and at night, I sleep next to my foster parents on a doggy bed. I am extremely fast and can easily escape from opening doors. I need someone who will be attentive and make sure I don’t slip out. I was surrendered with my friend Coco, and would like to stay with her if possible. I would brighten up your family should you decide to adopt me!!
If you think I am the right dog for you, please fill out an application with my name on it and email my foster family at saveadoxie@yahoo.com about your interest or with questions, so they can contact you about becoming my new forever home.

NO CATS and NO CHILDREN!
Hi my name is Petie. I was surrendered to the rescue because my owner didn’t spend enough time with me and didn’t understand my behavior. I am very affectionate and like a lot of attention, and I love to give doggie kisses. My foster parents were nice enough to take me in, and I took little time adjusting to the new place.
I am potty trained, but I would like to spend most of my time inside. I love to go for a walk and smell all new things. I get along fine with other dogs, but I am not cat friendly. I will follow you around everywhere and lie on your lap and watch TV. The funny thing about me is that I love to chase bugs, especially ones that fly.
I sleep on a bed at night next to my foster parents, and am now crate-trained. I will easily go into the crate knowing that I will get a treat. When I came into the rescue, I had some skin irritations, but my foster parents gave me something to help me out, and I am doing much better (I am allergic to fleas and with a good shampoo and multiple baths per week – I am almost ALL healed!). I travel extremely well in a car for long distances. Foster mom didn’t hear a ‘peep’ from me during an 8 hour drive. I have my favorite toys (that I will bring) and will play fetch and squeak all day long. I am quite zany and love to get my picture taken too! Please give me a chance, take me home with you, you won’t be disappointed!!
If you think I am the right dog for you, please fill out an application with my name on it and email my foster family at saveadoxie@yahoo.com about your interest or with questions, so they can contact you about becoming my new forever home.

My name is Binky and I have a really neat coat! Check out my tiger stripes! I don’t know why I was surrendered to animal control, but now I am staying at a nice farm with lots of other dogs. I am a dachshund mix and my legs are a little long, but my foster mom says I am about 95% dachshund.

My foster mom says I’m the ultimate designer doxie! My name is Buster, I’m silky smooth and luxurious and have a butterfly nose! I am very sweet and have good manners. I’m good at not messing in the house, but my foster mom never guarantees that a doxie is completely housetrained. My dream home would have adults that do not leave me alone all day. I love to play! Fetch is my game and I love to go for long walks. I get along great with other doxies but small children are a deal breaker, they make me nervous. I think I used to be be crate trained but my foster parents trust me and I love to sleep in the big bed.
If you think I am the right dog for you, please fill out an application with my name on it and email my foster family at mickmaury@gmail.com about your interest or with questions, so they can contact you about becoming my new forever home.

Name: Polly (12-24)
Age: 1-2 years old
Sex: Female
Weight: 8 lbs.
Spayed/Neutered: Spayed
Coat: Smooth
Color: Black & Tan
Fee: $300
Location: Palmetto, FL
Email: puppiespeoples@gmail.com
Polly is a special girl who still needs some training and lots and lots of love. She is still working on potty training and getting over her separation anxiety. Her favorite pastime in her new foster home is snuggling! When she’s done snuggling, she loves chasing lizards and occasionally playing with her two foster siblings (also mini dachshunds).
Polly’s ideal home would have no young children (their quick movements scare her). Because of her separation anxiety, she does tend to make a lot of noise when left alone.
She is still taking medication for demodectic mange. This is not contagious and is treated by a daily liquid medication that is easy to give. Once this is cleared, no further medication should be necessary.
If you think Polly is the right dog for you, please fill out an application with her name on it and email my foster family at puppiespeoples@gmail.com about your interest or with questions, so they can contact you about becoming my new forever home.

Name: Flojo (12-6)
Age: 6 1/2 years old
Sex: Female
Weight: 12 lbs.
Spayed/Neutered: Spayed
Coat: Long hair
Color: Double Dapple (Black & White)
Fee: $150
Location: Orlando, FL
Contact: lcutyruiz@aol.com
Flojo is a very special girl who needs a home with 100% unconditional love and patience. She has been in two terrible prior homes and needs a forever home where she will be appreciated for the amazing girl that she is. Last September Flojo, along with the other animals and the children were removed from a home due to unhealthy living conditions. She was placed with Orange County Animal Services and adopted. It appears that she was dumped in a rural area by that owner. Flojo was found by a lovely man who chased her for over a mile. That’s how she got her name. Flo arrived in rough shape. We cleared up ear infections, a urinary tract infection, removed 16 rotten teeth, and helped her gain weight. Due to her double dapple breeding, she has visual and mild hearing deficits, but that does not hold her back. She also has bilateral luxating patellas (a likely consequence of the double dapple breeding) and walks with a gimp. Her biggest challenge is incontinence, most likely due to being spayed. With numerous medication trials, we found a medication that has helped and what remains is nighttime incontinence. We manage this quite easily because Flojo loves to sleep in a bucket. Each night we put fresh linens in her bucket next to our bed, and change them in the morning. That’s the part of Flo that requires love and patience.
The best part of Flo is that she is the essence of sweetness. She is a little delicate angel. She wakes up every day and happily rolls all over. It’s like she is saying, “Yay, I’m still here!” Being in a loving home has healed Flojo’s heart and body. Flo is not much of a lap dog, she prefers to sit on the top of the couch with her head on your shoulder. She sits next to you and sighs, like “ahhh.” She likes her doxie friends in the house, but does not hang out with the pack. She likes to play with the other dogs and human sisters for a brief period of time each day. Flo is house trained. She has had occasional accidents related to her incontinence, but we have figured out how to prevent most of these situations. Her favorite thing is having her chest rubbed. Flo does not require a crate.
Please only consider adopting Flojo if you have the time, unconditional love and are willing to continue her medication (under $20 per month). Due to her knees, she is not recommended for long walks. There is a chance she may need surgery if her knee comes out of socket, but at this time, she manages quite well and can run around. After the trauma she has been through she needs a loving person who will adore her for the very special girl that she is.
If you are interested in Flojo, please fill out an adoption application and contact her foster mom at lcutyruiz@aol.com with any questions.

Name: Corkie (12-14)
Age: 4 years old
Sex: Male
Weight: 16 lbs.
Spayed/Neutered: Neutered
Coat: Smooth
Color: Chocolate Dapple
Fee: $225
Location: Winter Park, FL
Email: larkart@yahoo.com
My name is Corkie or Corkie Bean, as my foster mom calls me. My previous family had to give me up due to their health issues, so now I am looking for my new forever home. I am an energetic guy and I love to run around my foster mom’s fenced in backyard with her 2 doxies and bark at the neighbor’s dogs and chase squirrels. I get along with other dogs, but I have never been around cats. I have never lived with children. My foster mom’s grand children visited and the toddlers made me a little nervous, so I think would do best in a home with no children.
I love to sit on my foster mom’s lap. I would do that all day if I could! If I can’t do that, then I love being outside in the backyard chasing squirrels and enjoying the outdoors. I sleep in the big bed with my foster mom, snuggled under the covers. I also purrrrr, when I am happy. I have a beautiful chocolate dapple coat that is really soft, if I do say so myself. Who doesn’t like chocolate? I am house broken and have not had an accident or marked once in foster mom’s home!
I don’t like crates because a long time ago, someone abandoned me and then I was put in a big, cold cage at a shelter. I used to get a little possessive with my rawhide bones, but foster mom says they aren’t very good for me, so I don’t get those anymore. I have lost 2 lbs. since being at my foster mom’s house, because I was a little overweight. Now I am the perfect weight, so I need to be kept on a good diet and get daily exercise to keep my nice figure. I also love to ride in the car, so I would make a great traveling companion.
Foster Mom’s Notes: Corkie is a sweet, lovable guy who would do best in a calm, consistent environment with an experienced dachshund owner. Loud noises and new things make him a little nervous. Calm reinforcement helps him adjust. He gets along with big & small dogs, but having a playmate about his size would be best. He also needs a fenced in backyard because he spends most days playing in the backyard. Corkie’s forever home needs to make sure he doesn’t get possessive of any items he plays with. He is healthy, up to date on his shots and heart worm negative. He has had seizures due to epilepsy, but is on inexpensive daily medicine to prevent them. His perfect forever home would not leave him home alone for long periods and have no children.
If you think Corkie is the right lap-doxie for you, please fill out an application with his name on it and email his foster mom at larkart@yahoo.com about your interest or with questions, so she can contact you about becoming Corkie’s new forever home.

Name: Hershey (11-13)
Age: 4 years old
Sex: Male
Weight: 14 lbs.
Spayed/Neutered: Neutered
Coat: Smooth (short hair)
Color: Black & Tan
Fee: $175
Location: Long Boat Key, FL
Contact: aalstrom@gmail.com
My name is Hershey and I was found abandoned in the street with a 12 week old rottweiler puppy. I am a beautiful boy, now that I have gained a little weight. I am learning to play, but I can get a little rough, so you have to remind me to play nice. My previous owners weren’t very nice to me, so loud voices and big movements scare me a little. I need gentle reinforcement. I also like to relax and am crate trained. I enjoy sitting on my foster mom’s lap too.
I am healthy, up to date on vaccinations and ready for my new forever home. Children make me nervous, so a home with no small children would be best for me. It also takes me awhile to warm up to men. The ladies are my favorite!
If you think I am the right dog for you, please fill out an application with my name on it and email my foster mom at aalstrom@gmail.com about your interest or with questions, so she can contact you about becoming my new forever home.
