Hello All- Happy Cinco De Mayo!

We thought we would quickly update some information.  We are planning on doing a Open Adoption Event in Garden Grove this coming weekend.  For those of you who want to come out and meet the dogs and us, this is the perfect time.  

  The information is as follows. 

ADOPTION EVENT

Come on down and meet several dachshunds of all shapes, sizes and colors and coats who are looking forever homes…

 (Some of the courtesy listing dogs will be present as well!)

 Bring your family, including the four legged members and hang out!

If you haven’t filled out an application yet, do so before coming out Saturday, May 12, 2012…

(We will have paper applications to be filled out there!)

To fill out an application beforehand visit:

Adoption Reminders

As a reminder to potential adopters, please remember we have a thorough adoption process and although we appreciate the sentiment, we do not allow dogs to be adopted as gifts for other people. So you are always welcome to come and visit and follow through with our adoption process, but please do  not come with the expectations of adopting a dog as a gift for Mother's Day, Birthdays, etc.

Please understand that we have a thorough adoption process and that we are not about first come first serve but the "right home for the right dog".  We are still scheduling private "meet and greet" dates/times for dogs and no dogs will actually be taken/adopted from the adoption event itself. 

 If there is a dog/dogs you are interested in, and you have fully filled out an application,  then Chris will follow up with you at her earliest convenience and then schedule a private meet and greet with you for another date and time; along with all the family members (including four legged ones) who will be living with the dog(s).  We like everyone who will be living with the dog(s) on a daily basis to be present at this initial "Meet and Greet" as it helps us to see the dogs and family's interaction with one another.   The process continues from there...

If anyone has questions about the upcoming event, please email Chris or Dawnie.

   We recently received notice that some beds are being donated to us, for those of you who helped and donated  beds to us, we thank you.  We also have been receiving some donations via our Paypal account, we would like to thank the people who have donated to us!  It is greatly appreciated!

  Some quick updates for you, there is a  update on our Available Dogs and Application page.  We have put a few updated pictures of some available dogs on the site, so that people can see what the dogs look like now.

If there is a dog or dogs you are interested in, please fill out an application and it will be forwarded to the appropriate person and rescue.

If anyone has questions or issues, please email Chris or Dawnie

Dachshund Haven often gets emails asking us about items that we need/would like donated to help us out.  We currently have a wish list/donations page where we keep up all items that we need at one time or another. 

Rather than send a bunch of individual emails, we hope this will help answer any questions people may have who would like to donate items, we will update the list as needed!

   If you would like to donate but don't know what to buy or you just plain don't have time to go to the store and buy stuff to donate...we have added a Paypal Donate Button above...but if you don't want to donate that way...then you have another choice....Animal Rescue Aid!

Animal Rescue Aid is an organization whose mission is to provide much needed support to animal rescue  non profit organizations by raising funds, securing resources and building awareness on rescue's behalf.  Currently, they have a program where you can donate money to Animal Rescue Aid.  

Any and all money donated by you for DHOGG will go towards purchasing beds, which they will then send to us.  You can make donations to their secure website on behalf of DHOGG's name.  For  more information  or to donate through their secure site visit:

if you have any questions, please feel free to email Chris or Dawnie.

Non Profit Board Members Contact Information

If your animal has any sort of medical issue that is an emergency that is after hours, you can take them to one of the two emergency clinics in Orange County. 

Most of the people who use these clinics (us included) use them to keep the dogs stable in emergency situations, and if the dog can be kept stable until the vet's office opens then we take them to our regular vet's office.

You must remember that because they are a private clinic their prices can be up there, so make sure you tell them when and if you ever have to take your animal to them, that you want to be consulted about their condition and any treatment before it is done to keep price to a minimum.
