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.

Sal is a sweet, gentle boy who needs a little time to trust the world. Once he does, he's all in. He came to us as an owner surrender and we suspect he never got the early socialization a puppy needs. He's curious but cautious, the kind of guy who watches from a safe distance before deciding you're worth knowing. It takes him a while to warm up to new people and he seems more comfortable with women than men. Once he's comfortable, he's loving, affectionate, and ready to be your constant companion.

Day to day, Sal is a typical puppy with plenty of energy. He loves toys, especially for chewing. He's leash trained, and house training is a work in progress. He occasionally uses the dog door, and he wears a belly band for now because excitement and nerves sometimes get the best of him. He's not kennel trained, so he sleeps in a dog bed on the floor, snuggled up with another dog, or sometimes with his person.

Sal is shy, and loud noises really scare him. He needs patience, a calm environment, and someone who'll let him go at his own pace, especially when it comes to meeting new people. He's good with other small dogs and kids, but he's not a fan of big dogs and we don't know how he feels about cats yet. 

The best home for Sal is with someone who's home more often than not and excited to work on all things puppy: house training, confidence building, and gentle socialization. A confident resident dog to show him the ropes would be a big bonus.

Raven is an adorable lap dog who thinks the best spot in the house is wherever her person happens to be. She came to us as an owner surrender, and she's a total shadow dog who will follow you from room to room and cuddle up the second you sit down. She's just as happy cuddling or playing with other dogs, so she's a social girl through and through.

Day to day, Raven is house trained with pee pads when no one is home, and she'll let you know when she needs to go outside. She is not a fan of the kennel. She loves her toys, and she'll destroy them, along with the occasional dog bed, so plan on stocking up on both. She does well with other dogs, and older, calmer kids are fine too. Cats are a bit of an unknown. She likes to bark at them, so we can't say how she'd feel about sharing a home with one.

Raven has a history of IVDD (intervertebral disc disease). With treatment and physical therapy she's able to walk, and we're on top of her care, but her new family will need to be mindful of her activity level and continue her physical therapy at home. With the right care and a watchful eye, Raven can live a happy, comfortable life, and she's absolutely worth the extra attention.

The best home for Raven is with someone who's home more often than not and who has previous experience with IVDD. A resident dog who enjoys playtime but isn't too rowdy would be the perfect match.
