A little bit about some of the sadder side of Rescue. While the dogs we picture for adoption are all fairly healthy looking, and most do come to us that way, there are those that come to us needing much love, care and Veterinary treatments. This little girl pictured here came to us starving. At just over 6 pounds her owners said she wasn't eating or eliminating for the last several days. After extensive medical tests, the only thing found wrong with her was lack of being fed. It is hard for us to understand how anyone can starve their dog? Sadly, we see too many that have been neglected, mistreated, and physically abused. Most can be rehabilitated and we do what we can. Some will carry the emotional scars and/or physical scars forever. If it weren't for you, the public, willing to open your hearts and your homes to them, they would most likely be put to sleep. We want to thank you for having such big hearts and loving these little ones as much as we do. Lily has a home waiting, she is going to be one of the lucky ones.
MY Tale is a sad one : My Former owner got real sick she had to go into a nursing home. What a sad time for her and me right at the holidays. A real nice lady heard about NMDR. and called them. Well, I am one of the lucky ones, I get to live in a foster home not the local shelter. I am a 5-6 yr. old, beautiful 18 lb. standard Dachshund. I have been spayed and all shots current. I am great with kids ,other dogs,. No cats please. I am really, honestly house trained and I know how to use a doggie door. I am crate trained.. All I want for Christmas is my very own Family to love and care for. Please grant my Hoilday wish.
We are just starting to post some of the letters we receive after the adoption. Testimonies that these little rescues make wonderful additions to a home.
Peaches is one of the nicest dogs I've known! She's 5 1/2 years old and weighs 20.7 lbs. She would be considered a small standard Dachshund. Her legs are a little longer than average and a white blaze on throat & chest. She has a soft coat and she's very affectionate. Peaches is quiet, cheerful and gets along well with other dogs. She's housebroken but not leash trained. An eager and somewhat aggressive eater. She has been permitted to sleep in her humans' bed.. She's spayed, heartworm negative, and has rabies, distemper/parvo and Bordatella vaccinations. Surrendered to the Albuquerque city shelter by owners who'd had her 5 years and said she was "aggressive to other dogs." I have not found her to be aggressive with any of the other dogs in my care. She's a lovely creature and I'm glad every day that we saved her. She loves to play fetch and would be great in an active family with kids that are older (10+). If you have an interest in Peaches, please just email Janet.

CARLOS - A very handsome black and tan long-haired, miniature Dachshund At only 2 or 3 years of age he is still almost a puppy! Right now, Carlos is tipping the scale at 15 pounds, too heavy to be healthy. We have him on a diet and if adopted soon, want his new humans to continue working on getting some of the excess off of him. We want him to live a long and healthy life. He is neutered, tested heartworm negative, and has current vaccinations. A lively, loving, sweet guy who doesn't like to be alone and doesn't like a crate. Not reliably housebroken, but better than he was 3 weeks ago. We will continue working with him and with consistency when adopted, he will learn and be a fantastic pet! .
BLACKIE - Just a little guy that is all black with a shiny smooth-coated. Blackie only weighs about 7 or 8 lbs. and he is 5 to 6 yrs old. He's an absolute darling. He is a little taller in leg than many Dachshunds and could have a touch of something else in him but he appears to be all Dachshund. His ears stand up or flop sideways for some comic effects. He is going to need work on the house training, he doesn't appear that anyone tried before he came to rescue. He' was found hanging around a construction site and concern was that he would be hurt or go hungry. No one came forward to claim him so we have been fostering him to get him ready for a new home and family. He has been neutered, all vaccinations are current and he is heartworm negative. Drop Janet an email if you want to know more about Blackie or would like to get an application to adopt. Janet will be happy to help you!
This is LILLY - A pretty little Black & tan smooth-coated female. She has been spayed, micro-chipped and vaccinations are up-to-date. Age 3 or 3 1/2 by vet's estimate, and only 10 pounds or under! She is use to sleeping in a crate. In the recent past she was left outside a lot and confined to one room with doggie litter box when indoors. Her former owners had new wood floors and didn't want anything to happen to the floors. She is just fine with other dogs (they surrendered her because they have two very large breed dogs that play hard and they feared she would be injured). Her former family has a 3-year old child and 7-month-old infant, and Lilly was fine with both of the children. Lilly likes romping, playing and going on mountain trail hikes. Well-behaved and fun to have around. She would make a delightful addition to any family!
We haven't lost our MARBLES, he is right here! A stunning redheaded boy with a glistening smooth-coat. At only 4 years old he is full of energy and fun. He is a true mini.weighing in at only 9 lbs, but there is lots of personality and energy packed into that compact little dog! He has been neutered, has tested heartworm negative and is getting his vaccinations this week.. He gets along fantastically with the other dogs in his foster home. A very loving and playful fella you just couldn't ask for a better best buddy.
