Animal Success Stories
"My little dog---a heartbeat at my feet." Edith Wharton Our lives will forever be enriched because of the dachsies that touched our hearts in rescue, but we know the real healing does not begin until they leave our care. We encourage, we celebrate, we do everything we can to give them the skills they need to put their best paw forward as they wait for their forever families to find them . . . and then the time comes to say goodbye. Often we shed tears. We remember when they came in, how far they’ve come, the hiccups along the way – we laugh, we cry – and then we always say a little prayer as we send them on their way. We hope they find the confidence to keep that best paw forward, because we know, when they do, they will truly flourish. It is then, they will heal; it is then, they will find peace. If you have adopted one of our adorable dachsies, and would like to contribute a Success Story, please e-mail dakotadachshund@hotmail.com, and we will add it to the website. Be sure to send us a current picture. We do love pictures!!! Please visit our Success Stories page to read all of our stories!
 Tomorrow is Blossom's "Gotcha Day" one year ago. (Previously known as Patsy.) What a blessing this little dog has been! She is the perfect dog for me and I see her as a gift from God. He gave me the desire of my heart. When I came to Dakota Dachshund Rescue to look at her, Diane was filling me in on her history. She came from a breeding operation and had not had much human contact. I said "It will be fun to see her Blossom" , and as I said that, I thought that should be her name. And Blossom she has!! Today she is a totally different dog. She has gone from hiding in the corner cowering to running outside, owning her yard. Her sweet little personality is immerging more and more every day. She is much more confident and just wants to please. She has come through a life threatening situation as well. She ended up with a hernia and her bowel was strangulated. Two inches of it has to be removed. The vet was very concerned as to whether she would survive. I am so thankful that she did and is doing great! I am looking forward to many more years of fun adventures (hopefully no more surgeries!!) with Blossom! Thank you so much Diane and everyone at Dakota Dachshund Rescue for all you do! These little dogs sure do bring a lot of joy to our lives! Blessings, Jackie & Blossom |
