Dachshund Haven Sanctuary

On top of being a rescue we are also a sanctuary.  We are considered this because we allow several of the unwanted dogs, dogs deemed unfit for adoption for one reason or another to stay with us.  They stay with us, retiring so that they can finish off their lives in a safe and loving environment.  Although these are by no means all of them we do have pictures of a select few (due to the fact some just don't want to be photographed) 

Please note that these dogs are not up for adoption.

Some of the sanctuary dogs are:

Raggedy Annie

Raggedy Annie so named because of her ears…came from a puppy mill in Texas.  Her ears became chewed up by the horrible practices of the breeding in a puppy mill.  Basically she was left in the presence of aggressive male(s) and the beat up on her.   She came in 2004 and was malnourished and raggedy looking.  Now she is a healthy happy weight and is trusting of people again.  We are happy to keep her here with us.

Double Dapple Candy

Double Dapple Candy came from a breeder in Nebraska who had basically bred her several times and no longer wanted her so instead of spaying her, and then retiring her to a wonderful rescue or home, they sold her on the internet, claiming that she “threw beautiful puppies”.  Rescue paid the asking price for her, flew her out here and immediately spayed her and since she has lived in retirement bliss.  She was born deaf, but had most of her vision, until recently.  She has slowly lost her vision to where she can barely see now.  She will continue to live with us at rescue.  

TYSON

 

TYSON 2007

Tyson is a little 2 year old black and tan puppy mill turn over.  He is a friendly, loving guy, who likes to run, romp and play.

Due to the fact that he has extreme separation anxiety, it was determined that he would need to be placed as a sanctuary dog. 

Tyson has lived his entire life in rescue.  Which has made it more and more difficult as time goes on to find him a home.  It was a difficult decision as we believed if we found him the right home he would thrive.  After several tries we found that his mental health depended on him living his life out here with us.

YOSHI

BO

Bo is the black and silver dapple smooth boy. 

Bo has an amazing attitude and would love to sleep in his new family's bed with them.   He is house trained as well as crate trained and is a huge love  who love to give kisses and sit on your lap and be the ultimate lap dog.

GUNNER

Gunner is a cutie.  He is a 5 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.  He has been with us almost two years and at this point, it would be difficult for him to be re-homed.  He has a severe shyness about his surroundings and new people and cannot be around young children under the age of 13, this limited his placement severely.  So after two years, we have placed him in the sanctuary.  He will live his life out here with us and his other sanctuary brothers and sisters!
