Looking for an Extraordinary Home

Not every dog is the right fit for every family—and Kash is looking for a truly exceptional adopter who understands exactly what it means to take on a dog with a behavioral history.  

Kash is a 4.5-year-old dachshund with a big personality, lots of energy, and an incredible desire to bond with his person. He loves playing fetch, going for walks, greeting his favorite people with kisses, and then ending his day in true dachshund fashion—tunneled under a blanket and snoozing peacefully until morning.  

Kash has come a long way since entering rescue and initially struggled with significant reactivity. With structure, boundaries, and consistent behavioral intervention, he has made meaningful progress. However, Kash has a documented bite history, and his adopter must understand that his behavioral history cannot be considered “cured.” He will require thoughtful, lifelong management.  His ideal adopter is someone experienced with dachshunds and, importantly, with dogs who have behavioral challenges. Kash needs a person who understands canine body language, respects boundaries, provides consistent structure and routine, and is willing to continue reinforcing the work that has helped him succeed.  

Kash should be the only pet in an adult-only home with no children or cats. Because he bonds strongly with his person and prefers companionship and stability, someone who is retired, works from home, or is home much of the day would be ideal. He does experience some separation anxiety but generally settles once he adjusts to his routine.  

Kash is potty trained on a consistent schedule, knows his basic commands, and settles beautifully when he feels secure with his person.  

This is not a dog for someone looking for an easy companion. Kash needs someone who sees all of him—the affectionate, playful and fiercely loyal dachshund as well as the behavioral challenges that require continued management—and is willing to make a genuine commitment to both.  

For the right experienced person who can provide clear boundaries, stability, patience, and a safe environment, Kash has the potential to be an incredibly devoted companion.  If you believe you may be that extraordinary person, we’d love to talk with you.

 Meet Stevie, a shadow dog in the making who just needs someone to prove the world isn't so scary. She came to us as an owner surrender and never really got the chance to learn what home life is about, but her curious, sweet side keeps peeking through, and she's quietly hoping someone will be patient enough to let her figure it out at her own pace.

Life with Stevie is still a work in progress. She's house trained on puppy pads and learning to go outside, though she's not leash trained yet and isn't a fan of the kennel or car rides. She sleeps in bed with her person, loves toys and sticks, and could sunbathe for hours. Once comfortable, she's the ultimate velcro dog — cuddly and always close by.

Stevie is extremely timid and under socialized, with a lot of stranger danger from not having been raised in a home. It'll take weeks for her to feel safe, and she can get a little jealous when another dog gets attention. She won't go outside on her own yet and does best around dogs rather than young kids, so a home where the smallest members are four-legged is ideal. She has lasting trauma to one eye and needs daily eye drops for life — an easy routine once it's part of the household rhythm. Cat compatibility is unknown.

Stevie needs a patient, calm home with someone around more often than not, and a confident resident dog to show her the ropes. A quiet house with a backyard, minimal visitors, and no apartments or condos suits her best. For someone willing to go slow, Stevie has a world of cuddles and loyalty waiting on the other side.

Thor is a friendly, sweet soul who has never met a stranger. Thor came to us as an owner surrender, and he's part of a bonded pair with his best friend Loki, so these two are looking for their forever home together as a package deal.

Thor is fully house, leash, kennel, and doggie door trained, and he rides great in the car — basically ready to slot right into daily life. He's a total lap dog at heart, though he's got an independent streak too, and he loves to cuddle, give kisses, and play fetch. He's got a fun little habit of doing a cute moan when he wants something — food, attention, or one more round of fetch. He sleeps in his own dog bed on the floor in his person's room, though he'd gladly upgrade to the bed itself if invited. He's kenneled when left alone and does great with that routine.

Thor lacks food manners and can be a bit pushy at mealtime, though never aggressive about it. He loves chasing birds and lizards, so a secure yard is a must, and he was actually bitten by a rattlesnake in his previous home, so his people will want to stay mindful of that. He's good with dogs when properly introduced and does well with older kids, but he's not a fit for homes with cats. During the day, Thor loves cuddling and playing with Loki, though he prefers his own space at night.

The best home for Thor (and Loki!) is one where someone is around more often than not, with a backyard for the two of them to play in together. If you've been looking for two great companions who already have each other's backs, this bonded pair is ready to bring double the love into your home.

Loki is a friendly, happy guy who is constantly wagging his tail and wears his heart on his sleeve. He's a little more reserved than his best friend Thor, but no less sweet once you get to know him. Loki came to us as an owner surrender, and he's part of a bonded pair with Thor, so these two are a package deal looking for their forever home together.

Loki is fully house, leash, kennel, and doggie door trained, so he's ready to fit right into your routine — and he loves routine, being the smart, structured guy that he is. He's a total lap dog and couch companion; wherever you are, he wants to be too. He's got a bit of that classic dachshund attitude, so if something doesn't sit right with him, you'll absolutely know it. He can be a little restless in the car. He's got an adorable habit of running to wake up his little human foster brother each morning. He's cuddly but independent when he wants to be and loves chasing birds and lizards in the yard.

Loki is good with dogs when properly introduced and does well with older kids, but he's not a match for homes with cats. He spends his days cuddling and playing with Thor, though at night he prefers his own bed — though he'd happily upgrade to sharing the big bed with his person if invited.

The best home for Loki (and Thor!) is one where someone is around more often than not, with a backyard for the two of them to run and explore together. If you're ready to bring home two loyal, loving best friends who already come as a team, Loki and Thor are ready to make your house their home.
