Do you feed Innova, EVO, California Natural or HealthWise? If so, here is information regarding a voluntary recall you should know about! Click on the Press Release information at the bottom! Yahoo Voices -- Thursday February 28th, 2013 Ever wonder what a difference a "Forever Home" makes to a dachsie in rescue? Well check out our latest DDR Alum Celebrity, Gucci:
We know the difference a forever family makes. We see it each time a forever family sends us a picture and shares the things their dachsies are doing - many things we would never imagine possible remembering how they came into rescue and what they had experienced. But the truth of the matter is that true healing begins when they leave our care. When they find a forever family of their own to love, and to love them, they find peace. They flourish.
There is also no greater testament of that love than from someone who has experienced it, so please take a moment to read the words of Gucci's mom:

and please consider adoption! Paws down, forever homes are the best!
South Dakota Magazine -- Thursday February 21st, 2013 It just didn’t matter to Jenn and Tabby who won the Superbowl this year, because Superbowl Sunday was the day they went home!
They joined big brother Ace, and together they recently graced the pages of South Dakota Magazine! Be sure to check out our DDR Alum celebrities: https://southdakotamagazine.com/hot-dogs-fran-hill Congratulations ladies! Congratulations Ace! There really is no place like home! Stampede Photos! Stampede Photos! -- Tuesday February 19th, 2013 What a wonderful night! Each year is a little different, and yet better than the last! Always fun to see familiar faces, meet new people, and enjoy an evening with the wonderful foster families and volunteers of DDR! Thank you SO much to everyone who came out to support our dachsies! Their paws hardly ever touched the floor! And they were struggling to keep their eyes open by the end of the night! Every one of them fell asleep on the way home with visions of forever families dancing in their heads! Thank you Stampede fans! You're the best! And we have the pictures to prove it! http://www.dakotadachshundrescue.org/info/photos?GalleryID=1812 Let's Pass Animal Cruelty Laws in South Dakota -- Sunday January 20th, 2013 You might have seen several posts by Let’s Pass Felony Animal Cruelty Laws in SD: http://www.facebook.com/SDFACT on our Facebook Page under Posts by Others. While DDR typically shies away from activism – focusing instead on the dachshunds we bring into rescue and educating people along the way on pet ownership and the importance of spay and neutering - it by no means negates the importance of this issue or how near and dear it is to our hearts. We are in the midst of the legislative session in South Dakota, and we encourage you to learn more about the issues by visiting: http://sdfact.blogspot.com/2013/01/will-fifth-attempt-to-strengthen-animal.html and to write your Legislators in Pierre: http://legis.state.sd.us/who/index.aspx. The deadline for introducing a bill this legislative session is just days away, and we have many paws counting on you! Thank you! Holly, Jolly and Oh-So-Safe! -- Friday December 7th, 2012
Holly, Jolly and Oh-So-Safe! Of course you want to include your furry companions in the festivities, pet parents, but as you celebrate this holiday season, try to keep your pet's eating and exercise habits as close to their normal routine as possible. And be sure to steer them clear of the following unhealthy treats, toxic plants and dangerous decorations:
O Christmas Tree
Tinsel-less Town
No Feasting for the Furries
Toy Joy
Forget the Mistletoe & Holly
Leave the Leftovers
That Holiday Glow
Wired Up
House Rules
Put the Meds Away
Careful with Cocktails
A Room of Their Own
New Year's Noise

As an organization that rescues, socializes and places former puppy mill and ex-breeder dogs in their forever homes, we want to remind everyone that a scared dachsie will not look both ways before crossing a street. Nor does it matter that the person chasing them, loves them with their whole heart. Nor will they necessarily understand that the stranger that reaches for them is trying to help them. http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/pet-care-tips/july-4th.aspx Please keep 'em safe folks! And have patience. We promise your dachsie has not lost their house manners. Sometimes they are just too scared to go outside. In the daytime, it is firecrackers; in the nighttime, it is fireworks. It will pass! Summer for Seniors -- Wednesday June 20th, 2012 Ready for the dog days of summer? We are!
http://www.dakotadachshundrescue.org/ Super Dash! -- Sunday May 27th, 2012 The power of prayer . . . and love . . . and one very determined dachsie! We love you Dash Man!

But most of all . . . Welcome Home Charlie Brown! Welcome Home!

Keep 'em Safe! Pet Food Recall -- Wednesday May 9th, 2012 With much thanks to DeLana, our very own DDR Volunteer and Foster, we share this very important pet food recall due to possible salmonella contamination. While it is always important to get this information out, this one is especially important as Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul and Natural Balance foods are included - two of the main staples for our dachsies in rescue. Please check your dates!!! Affected bags of food have best-before dates between December 9, 2012, and April 7, 2013. Recalled foods include:· Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul For more information, please click below: Update - Pet Food Recall -- Wednesday May 9th, 2012 More information (and relief) on the pet food recall for us locally! From Your Pet Stop here in Sioux Falls: "Diamond Pet Foods voluntarily recalled some of their batches of food that were produced in South Carolina. All of the Diamond products that we carry come out of Missouri, so the recall does not affect us."
For more information and what numbers to look for in the production code above the "Best By" dates to see if your pet food is affected, click below: http://diamondpetrecall.com/recall-home/ Thank you for the update, Doug! We'll be by later. Love that lamb and rice food . . . Global Adoptathon - 2012 -- Sunday May 6th, 2012 Did you see our dachsies on KSFY? DDR participated in North Shore Animal League's Global Adoptathon's kickoff weekend, but did you know the Global Adoptathon goes through the month of May? We have a lot of dachsies still crossing their paws that their forever family will find them, and thanks to two major sponsors, if you adopt a dachshund from DDR during the Adoptathon, you are eligible to enter two contests! A trip for 4 to Warner Brother's Studio in Los Angeles, California! http://www.animalleague.org/events-news/events/tours-events/pet-adoptathon-essay-contest-1.html and A chance to win $2,500 - just for sharing your adopted dachsie's name! http://www.animalleague.org/adopt-a-pet/muttigrees-registry/ We wish you good luck on the contests, but more than that, we wish you a lifetime of love with furry hugs and cold-nose kisses!
