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 under
our 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.
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.
