We are very proud of our successful adoptions. Below is a collection of photos of many of our rescued Dachshunds that have stolen our hearts and then moved on to their permanent homes where they will be loved and taken care of for the rest of their days. We feel it's a privilege to have been able to take part in their transistions, some from the horrors of a puppy mill, some found wandering the streets with all the perils that offers, some from kill shelters even on the day they were to be put to sleep. Every one of us considers it 'just something you do' to save these little guys and gals from horrible fates. Without you, the public, we couldn't save as many but because you adopt or donate to our causes, it allows us to continue what seems to be an endless endeavor. We of New Mexico Dachshund Rescue thank you...

Jesse James and Calamity Jane
Although some of our rescues arrived to us by way of owners that found they could not keep them any longer, not all had owners that cared prior to arrival. One of these pretty little ladies was rescued in the raid on a puppy mill. She along with several others, were in wire cages in the bed of a pick up truck. Out in the hot sun, no food, no water, no shelter. Several of the Dachshunds were already dead. She was one of the few lucky ones to leave the mill and get into rescue. She has a wonderful home and love, food, shelter every day of her life from now on. Her mother was rescued at the same time and also knows love and care now.

Another Max
One little female was picked up off the desert where she had been dumped. Probably be cause she was pregnant. She is the sweetest little girl and had her owners been responsible and humane people, she should have been spayed and NEVER DUMPED. She will never know the fears that she faced on that desert again.
Lanie's litter
Some of these faces were rejected by once 'loving?' owners. Sometimes it was because the 'dog' barks, sheds, gets on the furniture. One was even given up because she was a pup that 'spread her toys all over the house and runs in the house'. Some owners were just tired of the dog, it takes too much time, it 'bugs me when I am busy doing something else', some have a new baby and they just don't want the dog around. None of these are very valid reasons to those of us that rescue. The ones that do bother us are when the owner, due to illness or other circumstances beyond their control, is forced to give up a beloved pet and companion.
