Animal Success Stories
"My little dog---a heartbeat at my feet." Edith Wharton Our lives will forever be enriched because of the dachsies that touched our hearts in rescue, but we know the real healing does not begin until they leave our care. We encourage, we celebrate, we do everything we can to give them the skills they need to put their best paw forward as they wait for their forever families to find them . . . and then the time comes to say goodbye. Often we shed tears. We remember when they came in, how far they’ve come, the hiccups along the way – we laugh, we cry – and then we always say a little prayer as we send them on their way. We hope they find the confidence to keep that best paw forward, because we know, when they do, they will truly flourish. It is then, they will heal; it is then, they will find peace. If you have adopted one of our adorable dachsies, and would like to contribute a Success Story, please e-mail dakotadachshund@hotmail.com, and we will add it to the website. Be sure to send us a current picture. We do love pictures!!! Please visit our Success Stories page to read all of our stories!
 Sorry it took sooo long to write - these boys have kept me very busy. I just want to say THANKS for allowing me to adopt Charlie. He has become a big part of this family, and we enjoy spending every minute with him. I was worried at first how long it would take Charlie to warm up to me, but I gave him his space the first day and by the next day he was attached to my hip. The following day he had to go to my Aunts while I went to work and he cried for me for hours, but with his new big brother Snickers, which has been a great help, he has learned the daily routine. We had a few accidents on the floor, but with patience it didn't take long to understand he must go outside to potty. You should see how fast he runs around the yard. It almost makes you dizzy watching him! He is such a happy go lucky dog now. He gives plenty of kisses and wags his tail so much, I worry he will fly away! Also, it is so cute when I give him a bone. He will hide it in his mouth like a chipmunk and walk around with it till he finds the perfect spot to lay and chew on it. It cracks me up every time. He has so many toys now and some days he can't make up his mind which one to play with. He enjoys watching out the window in car rides and he is a very good walker. For Christmas, they both got their own gifts to open. We love to spoil these boys, and I am sure they enjoy that too. His deafness has not slowed him down at all and some days I forget he can't hear because he is so aware of his surroundings that you would never know. Thank You, Amanda Wolff, Jason Amundson, Snickers & Charlie |
