Augie's Web Page

Description:

Say hello to Auggie! He and his family members, Darbie, Dudley, Dulcie, Dylan and Mavis are all settling into comfortable foster homes. Auggie is most likely the father or grandfather of several of the other six. He’s a precious sweet guy who just wants to be loved. ATDR recently took possession of these seven tiny Dachshunds, dubbed the “Springtime Seven,” who had been living in deplorable conditions. Sadly, their owner passed away and had been a hoarder. The house these babies were found in was stacked several feet deep with trash and other things that should have been disposed of long ago. The pups never went outside to enjoy fresh air and sunshine; however, even with all of this they are amazingly happy, loving and well adjusted, especially considering the way they had lived before. Several also appear to be pee pad trained and some are learning to do their business outside as well. They’re now being given the loving care they seem starved for and receiving veterinary care that had gotten behind.

Sadly, Auggie has tested positive for heart worms and is facing treatment so won’t be ready for adoption until late June. In the meantime, Auggie will be reviewing Adoption Applications in search of the perfect forever home. Due to the tiny size of all these babies, it is felt they should go to homes without small children to deal with. Older, gentle, responsible kids would be okay. If you’re looking for a precious little man to tuck under your arm, snuggle sweetly in your lap and share all good things in life with, please submit an adoption application for Auggie. He’ll be ready before you know it and will be well worth the wait! You will fall in love instantly with any one of these delightful little heart stealers!
