Northern California Rescue Dachshunds of SCDR

Friendly Reminder…especially with holiday travel upcoming

PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR A DOG IF YOU HAVE TRAVEL PLANS THAT DELAY IMMEDIATE ADOPTION

Our volunteers waste time and resources when we interview and select someone only to be told they have vacation coming and can’t adopt until afterwards.

Delaying an adoption takes a valuable foster spot another dog is waiting to take. It FREQUENTLY also results in the adoption not happening and we’ve held a dog for nothing.

This is something we see over and over and we are making no exceptions going forwards. We have too many dogs NEEDING RESCUE.

*Update - ride found!*

Team, we really need someone to help transport our two new boys from their current foster in Natomas to Tracy for their neuter tomorrow morning. We’re at our wit’s end - can anyone help??

With all our males lately, it appears we are running a boarding school for young boys. Our newest students are classic stereotypes. Almost 8 month old Jean-Claude is the hunky guy in school. All the girls swoon over him. He's about as sweet as they come.

2 year old Paco is the guy with all the charisma. He knows how to work a room and in no time, everyone has a crush on him. He is going to be voted Homecoming King in a landslide.

**Update - ride found!**

Our newest rescues, two young, sweet boys named Dax and Murphy, are currently being fostered in Natomas and are scheduled for their Vax & Neuters Tuesday morning. We have a volunteer to take them home after surgery, but we need someone who can either pick them up Monday evening and drive them to their overnight lodging in Tracy, or pick them up at the crack of dawn Tuesday to drive them to Pet Advocate (also in Tracy) for check-in between 8:30 and 9:00 am. Is anyone able to help?

Rescue takes a village!

THANK YOU to Cheri who runs the Friends of Shasta Lake Animal Shelter page and their follower Michelle, who shared the post with us.

We found out about these boys after shelter closing last night, called first thing this morning and started the transfer process.

Michelle then picked up the boys at the shelter and is meeting Natalie, a transport volunteer (and former adopter!) we frantically contacted this morning since transport had already started by the time we found a second leg to get these boys to a foster that said, “yes” (thanks Jack and Brittany!).

We all volunteer our time, homes, cars, and LOVE for our love of this breed. It’s amazing what we can accomplish when we work together! 🩷

Welcome Murphy and Dax to RESCUE 🌟

These boys were DUMPED in Shasta and ended up in a TINY overflowing shelter at risk of euthanasia. This is a story we see far too often.

We are glad so many people said yes along the way for these boys.

❤️❤️❤️ MURPHY AND DAX ARE RESCUE BOUND!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️💃💃💃

I couldn’t be happier for these two brothers!!!! 🐾🐾

From two terrified little boys who wanted nothing to do with people to slowly learning that not all humans are scary!!! Watching them come out of their shells and learning to trust has been such a rewarding experience!!! ❤️

A HUGE THANK YOU to Northern California Rescue Dachshunds of SCDR for stepping up and pulling these two precious brothers!!!!

Murphy and Dax came into the shelter together, leaned on each other for comfort, and now they get to start their next chapter TOGETHER!!!! ❤️❤️

No more shelter life for these boys!!! They are off to new beginnings, new adventures, and hopefully the loving furever homes they both deserve!!!!

This is what rescue is all about!!!! When people come together for the animals, AMAZING things happen!!!!

TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK!!!! ❤️🐾❤️

HAPPY TAILS MURPHY AND DAX!!!! ❤️❤️💃💃💃

Scout is now listed on our site for adoption!

Like most dachshunds, he is solar charged.

Unlike most dachshunds, he is kid friendly!

We're wild about Wilde! This is the last of the Literary five pack that came to us from a Fresno area shelter. Poor Wilde was also the most scared. However, he scored a fabulous foster home and he's now a jewel.

The other 4 dogs (likely his littermates) are all doing fantastic in their new homes. We expect this will be true of Wilde also.

If you are interested in scoring with this gem, you can read more about him and find the online application link at https://scdr.org/adopt-norcal

(Bonus: He has the most gorgeous eyes!)
