Hello Everyone!

We hope that everyone will had a safe and happy Fourth of July this year! 

We here at DHOGG have been extremely busy the last few weeks.  We are sorry for the delay in getting back to you but between dachshund turn overs, cleaning, vetting, evaluating, feedings, laundry, caring for dachshunds and contacting people for meet and greets, information and reviewing applications, time seems to slip away from us.

We have also recently had a lot of applications come in (a few more than usual) so please try to remain patient with us regarding contacting applicants back right away.  We will do our best to get back with you soon to set meet and greets.

Meanwhile, between everything else, we have also had a owner/breeder turn over, which resulted in a litter of puppies, please view the updated Available Dogs and Application page. 

 

On a personal note, my family and I recently lost Baron Joseph, our very first rescue from DHOGG to a heart murmur which he fought with for years.  After going back and forth and up and down for a few days, we finally let Baron go to the Rainbow Bridge last week.   He will be missed. 

I have been massively upset and because of the way things have gone, I have been away from my computer and Blackberry, so have not had a chance to email alot of people back.  I hope to have return all emails within the next week.  If for some reason I miss your email, please forgive me, and send it to me again.  Thank you for understanding!  Dawnie Secretary/Treasurer/Webmaster

We would like to let everyone know that we are now taking information for people who are interested in fostering dogs for us on a temporary basis.  We have people wanting to surrender their dogs left and right and other dogs that need to be taken in or they will be put down and we are going to try to do all that we can to stop this from happening. 

If you are interested in fostering a dog for us, please go to the following page and fill out the information and submit it to us and we will get back to you with follow up questions and information:

Fritz's Story

 Fritz came to us in a horrible state.  Fritz reminded us all what rescue is all about and why it is needed so badly. 

 He came to rescue with mange (non contagious kind) all over his body, his eyes and ears infected and almost swollen shut, and his feet and paws all cracked, bleeding and pus filled...he was in a horrible state. 

DHOGG (Chris) took him in and cared for him. To read his entire story, click the link below...

Fritz's Timeline

MARCH  2010 MARCH 14, 2010 MARCH 20, 2010 APRIL 7, 2010 APRIL 18, 2010

WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE!  Almost a month later Fritz is a completely different dog from when we first got him.  We cannot believe the transformation in him!  He is amazing, and is doing great!!!  To view all of pictures and his store click Fritz's Story.

His pictures show it all!  How can you make up results like that!  We are so happy that Fritz is doing so much better. Although he has ALOT of hair back, he will always have patches on his body where he was so badly scarred from the irritation of the mange.  Fritz is our Miracle boy and we are happy to have him here with us!  This is why rescue is important!

What is Dachshund Rescue and Why It is Needed- Fritz's Story

We are working very hard on getting him better and he is already showing alot of improvement!  We will be keeping an update of Fritz on the above link, so if you would like to see his progress and read updates, please visit the link above!

If you would like to donate money towards helping little Fritz, please contact Diann at DiannKozlowski@hotmail.com, and she will give you the information you need to give a tax deductable donation.

Please contact Chris or Dawnie with questions.

An Important Message from Chris, President of DHOGG

In regards to turning over a dog to Dachshund Haven:

While we would like to be able to take in every dachshund who needs rescue, we are not able to do so.  This is not a facility, it is our home and for that reason, we must limit ourselves to the number of dogs coming into rescue at one time.  As they are adopted, we then have room for more.  Please do not make the statement that "if you don't take my dog immediately, I'll be forced to dump him/her in the shelter".

 

It has been a very busy/crazy year for rescue.  Between the economy and breeders shutting down, we have been overwhelmed at times. 

Unfortunately, right now, due to times, we are forced to limit how many dogs we take in. 

As great as it would be to be able to take in every dachshund, it then becomes overwhelming and not fair to the ones already in rescue.   Unlike other rescues, we have no foster homes, and all rescues are underour roof. 

WE are responsible for the vetting, food, supplies for all of them.  We do not have donors or sponsors right now and therefore are limited in what we can do at this time.  Should the situation change, we can update everyone then.

If you are looking to surrender your dachshund, please contact Chris give the age and gender.  Whether or not they have been spayed/neutered, and if they are up to date on their vaccinations.  Also, it would be helpful if you would send a picture of the dog in question.  

As much as we would like to "save" them all, it's just not possible for us at this time.

A quick note about animals & "Craig's List"

Lately we have been browsing the internet and have found, a unbelievable amount of dog's, both pure bred dogs and mutt's online offering them either free or for a nominal fee to a "good home".    Although we respect everyone's rights to do with your animals what you will, we would ask people if you know anyone who is offering a dog online for free to try to talk them out of it or ask them to be careful when doing this and to ask for a vet reference that you can check out before turning the dog(s) over first. 

 We live in a day and age of animal testing, where do you think these people get their animals?  We also live in a time of "dog fighting" as an illegal sport.  How do you think they get "bait" dogs.   Wouldn't you hate to find out that you animal has been a victim of illegal fights or experiments. 

If you love your animal and want what is best for it, then there are a few things you can do prior to turning over a dog. The number one thing to do is for the person turning over the dog to ask for a vet reference. A vet's office that the person who will be taking custody of the dog will use for their veterinarian purposes for that dog.  Most of the time, a person who is a dog or animal person, will have a prior vet, even if it has been a while, they will have been established somewhere.    All it takes is one telephone call to that vet's office and your answers will leave you feeling better about handing your dog over.

Have you Hugged or Kissed Your Dachshund Today?

All these dachshunds have found happy forever homes! Do you have a picture of you hugging or kissing your dachshund or your dachshund hugging/kissing you, send it to Dawnie to have it added to the bunch!  This batch of pictures stays up all year round on this home page, I just move it, when relative holidays come up!  If you have a picture of your dog in a cute holiday outfit and you would like to see it on the site, email it to Dawnie!

When rejected by his father he became industrious and motivated; when rejected by his mother he became proudly independent; when rejected by his siblings he became deeply compassionate; but when rejected by the family dachshund he became a complete nut case."
-from a case history of Sigmund Freud

This Website is built and run by Dachshund Haven of Garden Grove, Rescue and Sanctuary.   
 By no means, do we claim to be experts on dachshunds or the breed.
Anything stated here about puppy mill's, over breeders etc,  is opinion only.  We do however, know a lot about dachshunds due to the constant care and  constant exposure to these issues.
Our only hope by this website is to give people a overview of what the dachshund breed is and to show the ones that are available and ready for forever homes while trying to inform people of situations that occurring in society.
