Message From: Denise March 10, 2010 Wonderful website! I am anxious to bring home our next family member. Message From: Adam February 4, 2010 This is a great site. It's very informative and honest descriptions help to make a better decision for finding just right little one for our family. Thanks. Message From: Kat January 19, 2010 I believe Dachshunds were made so they would bring a smile to our face and lay on our laps as we watch T.V.. Message From: sam December 31, 2009 i visit this site to reinforce the fact that compassion is the hallmark of humanity. thank you so much ATDR for the love and support you give to our fellow companions. Message From: Gaye November 6, 2009 My prayers for Cindy and Mike who are angels on earth for giving Joanie the love and protection she got the last months of her life. Although it doesn't make their hurt any less, Joanie is now fat, sassy and soaking up the sunshine in heaven. Message From: Carolyn Gist November 6, 2009 Ya'll are doing a wonderful job. We have 3 of these precious gifts and cant do with out them. Keep up the good work Message From: Ida November 5, 2009 I mourn with all others the death of Joanie who struggled so hard to live but could not continue the fight, as her body was too broken down even as her spirit and will to live was still there intact. Such human abuse and neglect breaks all our hearts every time we see such cruelty and ignorance. But as an animal lover and dog owner all my life, I take comfort with all others that Joanie at least got to know love, devotion, and care during her last months of life. I know that no animal, how bad a state they may be in, can miss appreciating whatever love and devotion they get, even after a lifetime of abuse & neglect from other humans. So there is comfort in knowing that Joanie at least experienced love & care.... and died in her human's arms... clean and safe from all the misery that she has been subjected to before. We're all glad that sweet little Joanie has now crossed over the rainbow to animal heaven. Message From: Melissa Major November 4, 2009 I am so incredibly sad that this little girl lost her fight. I am glad she was last comforted by a loving human's arms. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge on All Saint's Day. How wonderfully appropriate. She taught me so much about humans good and bad. I will always remember her. Message From: Brownie's new mom November 4, 2009 God bless Joanie's foster parents.I have adopted 2 dachsies and wish they all could find a loving parents!At least she passed on in your loving home to a better place with no pain. Message From: Nana Marty November 4, 2009 To ATDR thank you and God Bless You all for what you are doing for these precious poochies. Our family loves dachsie so am happy to share that am now Brownie's Proud Nana-he was recently adopted by my daughter and husband. His photo is in your Successful Adoption Gallery! Thank you to those who saved him and loved him so he could now be ours. Wish we could save them all! ADTR please keep up this amazing effort! Message From: sam November 3, 2009 For some reason Little Joanie touched my heart in a way I can't quite explain. From the moment I saw her photo I knew she was a special little dog. I am thankful that she died with her loved ones. I'm sure this brought comfort during her passing to that place where she will be forever healthy and happy. Rest in peace Little Joanie. Message From: (Private) November 3, 2009 Thanks to Joanie's foster parents for all of their love to the very end. She will not forget you. Message From: Gaye November 2, 2009 Cindy & Mike: You are angels on earth for the love you gave Joanie. I know that she's now healthy and happy in heaven. Message From: Donna November 2, 2009 (((Joanie))) I know you're in a good place, and I know my Brenna was there to meet you at the bridge. Message From: Roland W November 2, 2009 Rest in peace Joanie, you are now pain free and healthy with the other pups at the Bridge. Message From: Ciara November 2, 2009 Poor little Joanie, so sad to read the update today. She will no longer be suffering, at least she had a good and loving life at the end with her foster parents. Keep up the good work ATDR. Message From: inc123 October 17, 2009 I just donated for Joanie. Have you tried Yogurt yet? It might help reestablish flora & soothe her system. All best. Message From: Theresa October 1, 2009 Thank you for all your hard work. Best wishes. Message From: Amy James September 28, 2009 Would love to support all these babies. I have two dapple doxies and live in New Braunfels. Thank you for helping these precious creatures!! Message From: Bill August 19, 2009 Joannie, Is there any news? Updates on her please? Message From: Barbara August 19, 2009 How is precious little Joanie doing? I think about all that little baby has been through and hope she is getting stronger. Please update us. Message From: Chris & Deb Daly August 10, 2009 We are the proud caretakers of a total of 6 rescue minis since 1996 (we've lost 3 of them due to age/health issues along the way). These wonderful little creatures bring so much joy to our lives, and we feel so much dispair when we see some of them mistreated or so sick like the little emaciated one you are currently working to save. We are members of DRNA, MWDR, and the Madison WI dachshund group. We all work hard to foster and find homes for these wonderful beings. Your group is another example of folks working hard to help these little guys & gals. Thanks for all your work in TX. Message From: Lori July 26, 2009 I came to your site thru several links...which ending by clicking on the picture of the emaciated dachshund, Joanie. I haven't cried so much in a long time, while reading her story and looking at her pictures. Thank God you found her when you did and bless her foster mom! Message From: Kailey July 17, 2009 Yes, updates please!..When I saw the picture of little Joanie it made me cry! Thank you for saving this little life.. I hope she is doing well!

Hugs, Ruth and Critters Message From: esther redding April 28, 2009 I wanted to thank Charlotte, Debbie and Linne for working with our family in the adoption process for Rusty. When I saw his picture and read his story on the website site our family feel for him hook, line and sinker. We picked him up in Buda Texas at the wiener races. He is adpating very well with our family. Thank you agin for all you do for these loving little guys. Just know that Rusty is in a good home with a loving family and never will he go hungry or be mistreated or abandoned again. Esther Redding Message From: Linda Bertetta April 23, 2009 I will be watching Joanie's progress. What a sad story, but looking forward to a happy outcome. I just sent $5 by paypal. Sorry it couldn't be more. Will try to send more as I watch her get better. God Bless you. Message From: Kurakitsune March 26, 2009 Hey ATDR I just read your story about how you got a ton of puppies from a puppy mill. I want to say THANK YOU! We need more people like you that are willing to go in and rescue so many dogs, i love that you have found so many homes for doxies. And i hope that some day soon i will be a proud owner of a rescued doxie!!! And again Thank YOU!!!! Message From: Donna Stelzer March 25, 2009 Oskar went over the Rainbow Bridge 1-1/2 yrs. ago.

Message From: The Price Family January 23, 2009 We are so glad to see that Hershey has found his forever home. We loved him so very much and are thrilled that he will have the loving home and family that he so much deserves. What a wonderful Christmas gift for him to recieve. Message From: Rhonda January 21, 2009 I love dachshunds...I have 3 and love them dearly. I would love to have all that need a home as it breaks my heart to know people out there have these very special animals and don't love and care for them. I just don't have the room for all of them. As soon as I get a bigger house and yard I would love to have many more dachshunds that need a loving home. Message From: Jennifer January 20, 2009 Hi my name is Jennifer. I am a proud owner of a black and tan dachshund. He is very playful and he loves my 4 yr old son.. I am looking forward to rescue and adopt another dachsund in 2 months. Spike has grown attached to my aunts three chihuahuas and might have some seperation anxiety when their gone. So I look foward into becoming an adoptee for you guys. Thanks so much for all that you do!!!! Message From: Melissa November 30, 2008 I just wanted to say thank you ATDR. I have a three year old dachshund male. A couple of weeks ago he underwent back surgery. He is my best friend, and this experience just made me love him more. I have decided when the time is right I want another, and a rescue just seems right. I joined a support group when my little guy started having trouble. They have adoption offers on there, but I have noticed most are not anywhere around me. Then I searched and found you. I am glad to have a rescue in Texas! I hope to one day adopt one of your little guys and maybe even foster. What you do is truley amazing. Message From: Maysel November 25, 2008 First, thank you for the work you do for these wonderful creatures. Divot, my black and tan mini, and I adopted Baxter (now he's called Bogey) the day after Thanksgiving 2006, so our two year anniversay is coming up. He is quite a loving fellow and I can't imagine life without him in our home. Thank you all for taking care of these little ones! Message From: Dusty Smith November 17, 2008 I am currently an undergraduate at the University of Arkansas at Monticello, an avid lover/owner of dachshunds, and a friend to people who do such good work for them. I'm strongly in consideration of adoption, but it will be a while before I can do that. I currently live on campus and cannot foster a pet in the facilities here. When I am able to adopt I plan to use this website. I'll keep checking you guys until then! Message From: John September 7, 2008 God bless all of you who work so hard to care for these wonderful and loving dogs. I am heartbroken reading the puppymill raid page, and sad looking at the rainbow bridge link. Thank goodness the love and care of all of you is there for our dogs! John Message From: Angie July 9, 2008 I would like to thank Janice and Jeff Adams for such a sweet little dachshund named Shorty. I have another Black and tan dachshund named Otto. Shorty is Otto's baby. These two love to travel with me and their daddy Brian. We took them on their first camping trip. They did real well. Thank You Janice. Message From: Melinda June 28, 2008 We love dachsies! Message From: Ann June 14, 2008 I'm so glad Honey has found a home...was she adopted at the ROT Rally? She looks like a biker chick to me!!! Message From: BettyJo April 21, 2008 dachshunds are my favorite breed of dog Message From: Kristi March 13, 2008 I thought that my friends Janice and Jeff Adams were the best people in the world- taking in all these foster Doxies-caring for and loving them, no matter their ailments or special care required. I can't tell you how much it touches me to see that this entire organization is filled with people just like Janice and Jeff. I have been sent the link to your site many times, but never had an opportunity to REALLY check it out until today. ATDR is filled with angels- I truly believe that. Keep up the wonderful work!! |
