Please notice that all of our
little ones have not been tested with cats or small children. So
unfortunately, we do not know how they react with them.
However, sometimes they come to
us with these little quirks and we will be sure to inform you of anything
that we know of their attitude and personality quirks.
Most dogs especially the older ones
(12 months and older) are house trained and can either use a doggie door or
have a door left open for them; however most of the time there WILL be a few
accidents in the beginning as all of the dogs are nervous and uncomfortable.
But with the proper discipline this behavior should stop within a few
weeks.)
Any dachshunds that have longhaired or wirehaired coats will need to be
groomed on a regular basis, otherwise things can get caught in their coat
and lack of grooming can cause hair matting, which can be painful for the
dogs if not properly taken care of. Many local groom shops should have
knowledge on how to properly groom your longhaired or wirehaired dachshunds.
Also please know that even though we spend a lot of time with these
dogs, caring, vetting and evaluating them and their personalities, each
dog is an individual and although may act one way with us, may have a
different attitude with other people. This is what makes "Meet and
Greets" so important, please make sure that every person (and dog) who
will be living in the home, with the dog, is present at any "Meet and
Greet" that is scheduled.

Coat:
Smooth |

Sassy is a cute little "Choxie" or a Chihuahua and Doxie Mixed together.
She is a cutie, she has the coat, attitude, eye color, and even the body
and stature of a dachshund, but yet she has the short little ears and the
little longer legs of a Chihuahua.
She is a sweetheart. Sassy has now been
spayed and up to date on all her shots.
Sassy will be a great dog in any home. She would be a good lap dog,
but is also independent enough that she doesn't need to be "velcroed" to
you at all times. She is playful and loving and would do well with a
partner or by herself.
She would do well with children 8 years old and up only, who has dachshund
experience.
Adoption fees for Sassy are to be announced.

ready for some time)...please fill out an

Ginger is a beautiful red headed mother who, along with her puppy (Pugsley), was dumped in a shelter. Why
an 8 year old dog was allowed to breed or was not fixed prior to this, is
anyone's guess, but thankfully, she came out of it well and so did her
cute little guy. Ginger is a beautiful sweet little girl who wants
to love and be loved by anyone.
Ginger has a sweet demeanor and loving attitude. She is a little
shaky of people at first but once she gets to know you and relaxes around
you, she will smother you with kisses if she gets the chance. She
needs and deserves a good home, where she could be a lap dog but could
also get some well needed exercise in a large yard and/or on frequent
walks with her new family (once she is settled in, of course).
She is playful and loving and would do well with a partner or by herself.
She would do well with children 8 years old and up who has dachshund
experience.
Adoption fees for her has not been set yet.
Ginger has been spayed and is now ready for her new forever home.
If you are interested in adopting Ginger, please fill out an

Pugsley is a cutie pie. He was dumped in a shelter a few weeks ago,
with his mother Ginger. He is approximately 7 months old and is not
ready to go anywhere yet and won't be ready to go for a little while
longer.
We will keep everyone apprised of
the situation, but please do not send emails asking for status updates or
if you can buy him or adopt him now, all of those emails will be ignored.
If there is anything to know, it will be located here, on his bio.
Pugsley is young enough,
where he would do okay by himself, but since being in rescue and being
born Pugsley has had other younger dogs to play with so he is extremely
playful and social. Meaning, a playmate would be preferred for him.
This little guy
would do well with children 8 years and up with dachshund experience.
The
adoption fee for Pugsley has not been set yet.
If you
are interested in Pugsley, when he is ready, please fill out an
application.
Please be patient. You may fill out an application now, but until he
is ready to go we will be placing your application to the side...as we
must take care of the applications for the dogs that are ready to be
placed now.

Bebe and Snickers are a beautiful and intelligent spoiled rotten mother
daughter bonded pair that came from an owner turn in. Unfortunately,
severe allergies to the dogs prompted the owner to turn over these little
girls. She tried everything in order to keep them, as they were her
life. They were loved and cherished by their mama before and we want
nothing less for their new home.
Bebe and Snickers both have very sweet demeanors and once they trust you
and their surroundings, they become the sweethearts we know them to be.
They need and deserve a good home, where there will never be a fear of
them being taken away from one another and they can live and play and be
happy with their new forever home and family.
They are both very playful and loving and are a bonded mother-daughter
pair and MUST stay together.
They both would do well with children 10 years old and up who has
dachshund experience.
Adoption fees for her has not been set yet.
Bebe and Snickers are both spayed and are up to date on all of their
shots.

FRESNO DOGS
INFORMATION ONLY
-
All dogs ages are approximate
and are estimated up
(we apologize for not
knowing exact ages, but in situations like this, we have to go off of
the information given by the vet who examines them)

All rescues from this group
are extremely shy and timid at first. But once they get to know a
person and are relaxed they become loving and affectionate.
-
Most of the dogs are laid
back and get along with other dachshunds of any sex and/or age.
-
All of these dogs would do well and thrive in a home with a
dachshund educated child 8 years and above
-
Any other quirks will be
individually listed in their bios. (please
read the bios as some are different and may require different care from
the rest.)
-
All of the dogs from this
group have been fully vetted, vaccinated, spayed/neutered and cared for
and are ready for placement in their new homes.

CHARLIE
Charlie is a beautiful red and white pie bald smooth boy looking for a new
home. He is an owner surrender who turned him over when she realized that
she had too many dogs to take care of.
He is a very sweet and laid back boy and loves to wag his tail, however,
until he gets his bearings and trusts with a certain person, he is a bit
standoffish. Which is to be expected, so please don’t think that this
behavior would be a permanent thing, as with all dogs, especially rescue
dogs, he has trust issues which will work themselves out with the right
forever home.
He would be a good lap dog for someone, who is home a lot and can baby and
play with him. He would be okay by himself with a person who will be
around a lot or he would also do very well with another dachshund, male or
female, does not matter.
We are unsure how he would do with little children, but he should be okay
with children with dachshund experience and are 8 years and older.
The adoption fee for this guy has not been set yet.
If you would like to adopt this guy, please fill out an
application.

Coat: Smooths |

Size: Tweenies app. 15 lbs. |

Ringo and Hondo are two more brothers from the breeder in the Northern
California area. We believe that Hondo is the one with the white stripe
straight up the middle of his head, Ringo is the one with the white stripe
that curves.
They are both sweet boys but are extremely shy. They love to wag
their tails and give kisses once they are comfortable with you, however,
until they get their bearings and trust with a certain person or people,
they can be a bit standoffish. Which is to be expected, so please
don’t think that this behavior would be a permanent thing, as with all
dogs, especially rescue dogs, these guys have trust issues which will work
themselves out with the right forever home.
They are crate and house trained, and actually sleep together in their
crate at night. They know when you say "go to bed", and head right
in and settle down.
They both are neutered and up to date with all shots. They will need
a home that is patient and understanding and a dachshund savvy owner who
will appreciate and enjoy their silliness and someone who is home a bit to
work with them on their shyness and fear. We don't believe they
would do well with children, so we suggest teenagers or older with these
guys...we don't believe a very active loud household would do well with
these little ones nerves.
These two boys need to stay together. The adoption fee for these
guys have not been set.
If you are interested in Ringo
and Hondo together, please fill out an
application.

Coat:

|

Size:
Tweenie |

Gunner is a cutie. He is a 4 year old black and tan smooth
coated guy from Fresno who came down from the same breeder who passed away
approximately six months before she passed away.
As with all of the dachshunds that have come from Fresno
breeder, he is a bit timid and fearful at first. But once he gets used to
your presence and his surroundings, he becomes a happy little guy.
He would do well in a home with another dachshund or
alone. He doesn't seem to need a preference at this point, he plays with
both males and females.
However, this little guy is terrified of small children
and cannot go into a home with any small children. Teenagers 13 and up
may do okay, however...since we are unsure of any age bracket we would
suggest if you are interested in Gunner, and have older children 13 and
above, that they are present at any "Meet and Greet".
Gunner is neutered and up to date on all shots.
Adoption fees for Gunner is $175.00
If you are interested in Gunner, please fill out an application.

These guys are too cute! These two are from California. Buster is the
Black and Tan Smooth, approximately 10 years old. He is a laid back and
mellow guy. He ended up being a turned over because his owner could no
longer care for him.
Bow is the red smooth coat, approximately 3 years old. Bow is so named
because of his legs, he is about as “bow legged” as they come, however, it
means nothing to him, as it causes him no problems whatsoever.
Bow is a former shelter dog who ended up being that way because his owner
could no longer care for him. The owner gave him to the owner of Buster
in order to keep him out of the shelter, however, it did not help because
they ended up both being turned over to rescue. Bow is a bit of a
barker and we are working with him on that to try to break him of that
habit.
They are both housebroken. They can be adopted together or separate as
long as the situations are right for them. They both should have a
partner to play with. We are unsure on how they would do with children
at this time.
The adoption fee for Buster and Bow is $ 200.00 or $125.00 for one.
If you are interested in these guys please submit an
application.

It
is common for most dogs to go through separation anxiety and fear when they
go into a new home from adoption, it is usually calmed when the dog realizes
after a few weeks that he or she is safe and will not be going anywhere
because their new families love them. If you are applying to adopt you must
automatically know that this IS a more than a possibility for your new
adoptee to react this way.
AND IN RARE SITUATIONS DOGS MAY GO
THROUGH EXTREME SEPARATION ANXIETY WHERE IT CAUSES A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON
THEIR HEALTH.
PLEASE
GO TO THE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS PAGE TO SEE A SECTION ON
SEPARATION ANXIETY.

Dachshund
Haven Official Rules and Adoption Policies
All dachshunds adopted
through "Dachshund Haven of Garden Grove" shall be fully vaccinated,
spayed/ neutered and all known illnesses or personality quirks shall be
addressed to and disclosed to the person adopting the dachshund(s). All
spays/neuters and vaccinations and health issues will be addressed before
hand however, after the adoption process takes place, taking your newly
adopted little one to your own vet is always wise as it establishes the dog
in their records. Once adopted the adopter is fully responsible for any
and all vet bills including updated shots and yearly exams along with any
other medical care the dog may or may not need.
Adoption
fees are decided by Chris Jacobson are NOT up for negotiation. Fees are set
based on how much we have invested in the dog. For example, we pay for
spay/neuter on the dog(s), their dentals if they need them and most of them
do, and then their vaccinations and then we take into consideration how long
we have had the dog in our care and how much time we have spent working with
the dog. Age, sex, coloring and coat type, has nothing to do with our
fees. Adoption fees are non-refundable.
When
dachshunds are set as a pair there is usually a reason for it. Due to
bonding, whether sibling bonding or just plain friendly bonding over time, a
pair is a pair and "Dachshund Haven" will not separate and adopt one or
another.
If
you are considering adopting a dachshund and want to visit one, than
arrangements can be made by emailing or telephoning Chris Jacobson for
visits. WE ARE NOT AN OPEN FACILITY FOR PEOPLE TO SHOW UP AND BROWSE OR
PLAY WITH DOGS. ANY POTENTIAL ADOPTION OR MEET AND GREET MUST HAVE AN
APPOINTMENT .
Adopting
a dachshund is a big decision as it requires responsibility and love. A
dachshund will be held for one week while a decision is made, after that if
no contact than the "furkid" will be placed back up for adoption to another
adopting person.
We
appreciate contact, so if you decide that the time is not right to adopt
than a courtesy call or email to say such would be appreciated and your name
and application will be kept for future reference.
"Dachshund
Haven of Garden Grove" would like to remind everyone that adopting a rescue
dog is different than buying a puppy from a breeder or a pet store. Often
the dachshunds have been through a lot and because of it some may have
behavioral issues or quirks which need to be worked on. Most of the time,
we work with them and ease them out of it, but sometimes the hurt is so bad
it never really goes away, which discourages people and often finds
dachshunds back at rescue or in shelters. These are not "bad" dogs, they
just need to time to adjust, to be loved and cared for and the comfort of a
stable home. But, if at any time you take possession of one of "Dachshund
Haven's" furkids" and you find that you honestly cannot take care or that
the situation is just not working out, than "Dachshund Haven" CAN AND WILL
TAKE THE DOG BACK in order to keep them out of the kill shelters.
Certain
dogs come with certain quirks or behavioral problems. Applications will be
reviewed closely as certain dogs cannot be placed in certain environments.
Please be as honest as you can because these fur-kids will becoming a
member(s) of your family. Some dachshunds do well with children, others do
not, some do great with men, some do better with women. Usually dachshund
by nature have what we lovingly call "short man's syndrome" and have issues
with bigger dogs, some don't have any fear at all.
No home will be
considered if the housing complex does not allow pets. We do not allow our
dogs to be "hidden" in apartments, condos or any rental homes.
Dachshund Haven of
Garden Grove Rescue and Sanctuary adopt our dogs to homes where the dogs
will live in indoor life as a house pet, and companion and to be exercised
only in a fenced yard OR in an open outdoors situation with leashes only.
Our dogs should not be kept outdoors while no one is home to supervise or
for very long periods of time (even with other dogs present, no matter the
size or situation).
You
must be over 21 years old to adopt a dachshund. If you plan on adopting
than the dog must be for you. We do not allow "gifts" of dachshunds. If
you live with other family members, roomates, etc. than they must approve of
adopting a rescue dog. "Dachshund Haven" reserves the right to conduct a
home inspection before placing the dachshund.
No
home, condo or apartment complex will be considered without a fence. As well
as any home, condo or apartment complex with an open non-fenced pool.
If you are interested in a puppy, than a proper adoption process must be
done. A proper application with true and correct information, a proper
"Meet and Greet" and a home visit will be scheduled. We do not for any
reason give out referrals to breeders or puppy mills. Bribes or promises of
donations are not acceptable and will not be considered in any way shape or
form. Any emails sent to us asking to "purchase a dog" will not be
responded to.
 Dachshund
Haven of Garden Grove" reserves the right to refuse to adopt any dog to
anyone that we feel is unsuitable for a dog. |
