I live in Ontario.... in a rural setting. I am interested and absolutely willing to give a good and loving home to a dachsie that needs one. I have three dogs now... and 16 cats.... many of them have found their way to me because they were abused or abandoned. The youngest member of the family is a 7 month old standard dachsie male... Willie. He very quickly has become the adored baby of the entire menagerie.... I think that was his plan from the very beginning!

The three dogs have become the 'three boys'... Jake is a 14 year old golden retriever who has been with me since the day he was born. Casey is a three legged shepherd/hound mix... he lost his leg because his previous owners didn't bother to have a broken leg cared for.... he lived with it that way for a year... I adopted him as he was having his surgery. Then came Willie.... my first dachshund, though I've always admired them. I've been reading the message board, and as I do, I think of Willie's sweet nature and his intelligence
.... I cannot imagine the pain that these little dogs must feel when their trust and loyalty is so horribly betrayed. And I would like to do something about it by giving a loving home to one who needs it.

Try DRNA.org
I think they have a toronto representative
They have dogs available on the website so if you find one that you may be interested in just fill out the application. Even if you don't find one at the time go ahead and fill out the application because they may have one suited for you not posted on the sight.
GOOD LUCKhttp://dachsie.org/ubb/smilies/jacks.gif

Hi!

I am in the process of becoming a member of DRNA and live in Toronto.

I just helped place a dachshund today that was in a Mississauga shelter. Too bad I didn't read this message yesterday!

Would you consider a Dachshund X? There may still be one with a rescue group called Animal Alliance.

Please send me an email at syeshin@yahoo.com and tell me where you are and what you are looking for.

It's a mix isn't it? That's what it looks like to me.

Yes, by 'X' I meant 'cross'. I don't know for sure what it is a cross with. Animal Aliance saves dogs from research facilities or from shelters that sell to research facilites.

I should say that the other rescue tried to help with was not related to DRNA, but with Small Paws - an all breed rescue group.
