In June we had to put to rest our loving Dachshund of 17 years. It was heartbreaking and as we are now retired, we thought we would never have another. But after a couple months, with no one greeting us when we came home and just the silence at home and not having her around was too much. We decided with so many rescues there had to be one for us. So we started looking on line. Being Dachshund people we began looking for another Dachshund first. After a few weeks we spotted one on Petfinders that led us to Karen at D & R Rescue. The one we asked about was already adopted, but they did happen to have another Dachshund that had just come in. This one was even more appealing so we sent in the adoption paperwork right away. Throughout about a week of correspondence with Karen, though they are located in Illinois, and we in Indiana, we were able to met our possible new addition very near to where we live as they happened to have a foster mom in our area. We arranged a meeting, and upon first sight with the new dog we were hooked. She had been taken from previous owners for mistreatment. D & R Rescue took her in and completely checked and treated her medically, spayed, tagged, etc.
Throughout the whole process all went very smoothly. Karen and her Foster Mom friend were fully communicative throughout. We feel very lucky that we found our new adoptee from D & R Rescue. If your looking to adopt and are in the Illinois/Indiana area, please look them up.
