🚨🌭 THIS IS NOT A DRILL. ONE. MORE. SLEEP. 🌭🚨

Tomorrow, Spruce Grove will experience a highly unusual weather event:

🌭 100% CHANCE OF WIENERS. 🌭

Short ones.
Long ones.
Loud ones.
Fast ones.
And at least 47 who will completely ignore their owners in public. 😂

The dachshunds are currently preparing by:

🏋️ Doing absolutely no training
😴 Sleeping 19 hours to conserve energy
🧀 Demanding cheese
📣 Practising their unnecessary barking
🏁 Developing a race strategy that will immediately be forgotten
💩 Planning to p**p at the most inconvenient possible moment

Meanwhile, their humans are packing enough supplies for a three-week expedition… for a six-hour event. 😂

🌭 ADR WIENERAMA 2026 🌭
📅 TOMORROW — Sunday, August 23
⏰ 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
📍 Spruce Grove Ag Society
120 Railway Avenue, Spruce Grove

🏁 Wiener Dog Races

⚠️ SIDE EFFECTS OF ATTENDING WIENERAMA MAY INCLUDE:

• Excessive baby-talking to strange dogs
• Taking 638 photos
• Yelling “LOOK AT THAT WIENER!” in public
• Spending money because “IT’S FOR THE DOGS!”
• Going home convinced you need another dachshund

We accept absolutely no responsibility for spontaneous dachshund acquisition. 😂

GO TO BED, WIENER PEOPLE.

Tomorrow…

🌭 WE RIDE. 🌭

🚨 SPRUCE GROVE-YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. 🚨

In just 2 DAYS, the short legs are taking over.

Hundreds of tiny feet.
Floppy ears.
Questionable listening skills.
And absolutely ZERO respect for personal space.

ADR WIENERAMA 2026 IS ALMOST HERE!

📅 Sunday, August 23
⏰ 10 AM – 4 PM
📍 Spruce Grove Ag Society
120 Railway Avenue, Spruce Grove

Come spend the day surrounded by the longest dogs with the shortest legs!

🏁 Cheer on the Wiener Dog Races
🐾 Try your luck at the Wiener Games
🐶 Meet some of our ADR dogs
🛍️ Shop our amazing vendors
🚚 Grab something delicious from the food trucks
🎁 Bid in the silent auction
🎟️ Get in on the 50/50

🌭 2 DAYS.
🌭 ONE BIG WIENER TAKEOVER.
🌭 ARE YOU READY, SPRUCE GROVE?

Because ready or not…

THE WIENERS ARE COMING.

08/20/2026

WE HAVE ENTERED THE DANGER ZONE… ONLY 3 DAYS UNTIL ADR WIENERAMA 2026!

The sausages have been notified.
The tiny legs are in training.
The barking has begun.
There is absolutely no turning back now.

🌭 3 MORE SLEEPS UNTIL WIENERAMA! 🌭

📅 Sunday, August 23
⏰ 10 AM – 4 PM
📍 Spruce Grove Ag Society
120 Railway Avenue, Spruce Grove

Mother Nature tried to cancel our fun by turning Wienerland into Wiener-Water-World this year. 🌧️💦🌭

Nice try, lady.

We packed up our sausages and MOVED THE WHOLE PARTY!

Prepare yourselves for:

🏁 Wiener Dog Races — Olympic-level athleticism… if the Olympics included stopping halfway to sniff something.

🎯 Wiener Games — rules are merely suggestions when dachshunds are involved.

🐾 Adoptable Dogs — please resist those eyes. Actually, don’t.

🚚 Food Trucks — because watching tiny dogs run 30 feet is exhausting.

🛍️ Vendors — bring money. Your dachshund says you need stuff.

🎟️ 50/50 & Silent Auction — supporting ADR while potentially winning stuff = excellent life choices.

And, of course…

🌭 LONG DOGS
🌭 SHORT LEGS
🌭 BIG ATTITUDES
🌭 QUESTIONABLE LISTENING SKILLS
🌭 AND ENOUGH BARKING TO BE HEARD FROM ALL OVER ALBERTA

Tell your friends. Tell your neighbours. Tell that random person you saw walking a dachshund three weeks ago.

THE WIENERS ARE COMING. 🌭🌭🌭

Donations help dogs like AJ💙

AJ came into Alberta Dachshund Rescue two years ago, and on July 1, he celebrated his incredible 17th birthday!

Like many senior dogs, AJ has a few health struggles, including dementia, but he certainly isn’t letting that slow him down. He still enjoys wandering through the grass, soaking up the sunshine and living life at his own sweet little pace.

Every donation to Alberta Dachshund Rescue helps us provide dogs like AJ with the veterinary care, comfort and support they need. Whether they are young, old or somewhere in between, every dachshund deserves to feel safe, loved and cherished.

🐾 **Meet Mays & Ace** 🐾

Sometimes life changes in an instant.

Mays and Ace found themselves back in the care of Alberta Dachshund Rescue after their beloved owner unexpectedly passed away. Through it all, these two have remained by each other's side, proving just how special their bond truly is.

This adorable duo are siblings, born just one litter apart, and they've spent their lives together. As they've gotten older, Ace's coat has developed into a beautiful brown dapple, while Mays is a stunning blonde with a personality that quietly steals your heart.

Like many dogs who have experienced loss and change, Mays and Ace take a little time to warm up to new people. Mays is the brave one who decides whether you're worthy of joining their inner circle—and once she gives her approval, Ace isn't far behind.

They may be a little reserved at first, but once you've earned their trust, you'll have two incredibly devoted companions. In fact, they'll insist that sharing your bed is simply non-negotiable!

Mays and Ace are both being treated for seizures and require medication every 12 hours. They do wonderfully with their routine, and with a dedicated family who can keep them on schedule, they continue to enjoy happy, love-filled lives.

These sweet seniors have already lost so much. Now they're looking for a compassionate forever home where they can stay together, feel safe, and spend their golden years surrounded by the love they deserve. ❤️
