11 Rescued Dachshunds Have Been Adopted | Friday, February 22
In mid February we rescued 11 Doxies from a breeder in Maryland who was being evicted. There were 5 girls and 6 boys who's ages range from 4 to 14 years. As breeding animals, none of them had been altered and many had not received vet care for way too long a time.
Not only did they ALL need dental work, they all needed to be spayed or neutered, and several had medical conditions which needed treatment before they could be adopted out to new families. Dr. Roeder generously did ALL of the above work for just $2,000 but that was a big strain on the shelter financially and money spent on these dogs, took away from already limited resources that we have to spend on other animals in our care.
We would be very grateful for any donation you can give to help cover medical expenses for the Doxies. They have all been adopted out now, but the vet bills remain :) Thank you so much for your interest in these wonderful little dogs.
