Story
Rusty came into rescue when his human passed away. He is a gorgeous 5 year old red short hair Dachshund. He is a standard, and could definitely lose some weight. Rusty is potty trained, but you have to take him out regularly. Rusty is still cautious around new people. He attaches to one person. Doesn't want others to touch him. He does okay with other dogs his own size, and also cat friendly. May growl at them if they get too close to his person, but doesn't bite. Best situation would be a retired person or couple that's home a lot. If you're interested in adopting Rusty, please complete an adoption application on our website to be pre-approved. www.dachshundrescueoflosangeles.comApril 14, 2025, 2:00 pm

PLEASE READ THIS PROFILE AND THE REQUESTED CRITERIA BEFORE CALLING OR SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND CONSIDERATION HERE’S BONNIE AND WINNIE…..and if they hadn’t come with those names, we would have named them Lovey and Dovey, they are that sweet. They are littermates and have never been separated and only with one owner. Sadly, their senior mom is going into assisted living and can’t take them with her. They have been loved and well treated, as best a senior can do…but she never gave them shots, had them spayed, put on a collar, walked them on a leash and were rarely taken outside!! They are potty pad trained…and now, they walk pretty well on a leash, the collars are on, they’ve been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed and they are healthy as can be! BONNIE is a bundle of energy! At almost 4 yrs old, she is a 13 lb, black and white soft scruffy DoxiPoo, as best as we can tell. She doesn’t seem to shed much, but unlikely hypoallergenic. She is the leader and gets uber excited when she sees you! Bonnie will give you a bath with her tongue if you let her — she loves to tell her person how much they are appreciated. WINNIE is just 9.5 lbs, tan in color and also a DoxiPoo. She is not scruffy like her sister — her coat is soft and silkier. The more low key of the two, she is a bit on the timid side at first — but don’t let that fool you! She gets equally excited to see you and kiss you — just less demonstrative than her sister. Winnie is a bit on the fearful side and not as outgoing as Bonnie initially, but this is all very new to them. With practice and patience, we believe they will be model citizens. They are just learning what toys are!! The ideal home for these lovebugs will have a yard to make their potty training easier on their family. They don’t like being left alone! When they first arrived, they howled if I wasn’t around, but now that they feel safe, they are very quiet. Still, we don’t think an apartment would be the best for them. They need to know they are loved and in their forever home, and lots of attention and opportunities to experience the world around them. Their balanced energy is the perfect match…Winnie would love to stay and sit on your lap, while Bonnie goes running with a family member! Our website is updated daily. Please do not apply for this dog unless your home fits the specified criteria. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, groomed, vet checked, dewormed, deflea'd and come with a leash, collar and ID If you are interested in adopting a pup from Lhasa Happy Homes, please complete the Adoption Application before calling. We will contact you once it has been reviewed. Lhasa Happy Homes will be now holding our adoption events the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month on Main Street in Santa Monica (check calendar link below for special events and directions). Our event is located at 2116 Main Street, in Santa Monica, CA. Here you will have an opportunity to interact with the dogs and see which might be a perfect fit with your household. Main Street is famous for its innovative shops and is close to the beach! Make a day of it!! Metered parking on the street and free parking on 4th and Bicknell Streets. Here you will have an opportunity to interact with the dogs and see which might be a perfect fit with your household....and do some fantastic shopping at the same time! Please do call us if you are coming to see a particular dog to make sure he/she will be at adoptions (we do not bring sick dogs to our adoption events). Please bring pictures or video of your home and yard if we have not done a home check (preferred)! Most importantly, if you have a dog, make sure you bring him or her to do a compatibility match with the dog you are interested in adopting! Don't forget to check out our Events Calendar for more information on upcoming events! See our home page for more details about our adoptions at Lhasa Happy Homes Thanks for thinking rescue and adoption and for considering saving a life. It will be the best gift you ever give yourself or your family.

Adopting a Dachshund

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Dachshund - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

The easiest way to adopt a Dachshund would be through a rescue that specializes in Dachshunds. A great place to start would be by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Dachshunds in your area.

The cost to adopt a Dachshund is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Dachshunds from breeders can cost around $1,000 to $2,000 or more, depending on show history, coat colors, texture, and lineage.

Dachshund fun facts

Fun Facts:

A Dachshund was the first ever Olympic mascot! The concept for Waldi the Olympic dog was born at the 1972 Munich Games Organizing Committee Christmas Party in 1969 (say that 10 times fast!).

Dog historians argue about whether the Daschund was first seen in an Ancient Egypt sculpture of a pharaoh with three dogs or in the Middle Ages in Germany, but suffice to say these lil' weiner dogs have been around for at least several hundred years.

Dachshunds literally mean "Badger dog" in German, as the breed was developed in 17th century Germany to use scent to train and hunt animals such as badgers and foxes. Dachshunds are true dwarfs.
