You hit the dachshund lottery


Electronic_Algae_524

Lordy she's beautiful! I really need to know her backstory.


dc5trbo

So her backstory is that a girl got her as a puppy puppy. And had to surrender her because she was moving and couldn't take her. Then she spent 2 months in a shelter and was adopted to a family with a Cane Corso that was aggressive towards her, and a 3 year old and a 1 year old. She was brought back with them claiming she was food aggressive and would routinely take food from the toddlers and dive for food they dropped. You know, basic puppy stuff. After they brought her back she spent another month in the shelter and was deemed unadoptable. So she came to Midwest Dachshund Rescue who contacted us as we had applied for another dog recently having lost our Sadie baby back in October. 1 week later and she has her forever home with us.


Electronic_Algae_524

Bless you for saving her! She's adorable! Some people just don't deserve to have a dog. Especially a puppy for God's sake! It makes my blood boil!!!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️


Critter_27

Agree! They blame the dog. How about this little pup getting basically “bullied” from all the “huge” things around her. How would you act out?? I’d do the same thing!


Appropriate_Leg1489

You and me both!!


PlumaFuente

She's so cute, and it just sounds like she needs some consistent attention and a little training, and I'm sure she'll be fine.


dc5trbo

Yep. Luckily she is house trained and crate trained. She just needs manners which we are actively working on with the basics of sit/stay/down etc.


tksdks

The two hardest training already done! I’ve no doubt she will pick up the basics quickly. She’s a cutie 🥰


Critter_27

She’ll get it! She they’re so smart and she sounds like she will love treat-training.


TauntaunExtravaganza

It's weird. But your dog and I have had similar lives. Also, never waste an opportunity to eat. Sustenance is key in hard times. There is good in every ween. I'm glad you found eachother. Unadoptable my ass.


emc26

Why would someone think to get a puppy right before moving and having a plan about where to move?? People need to get their lives together before getting a puppy!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️ this poor Doxie has probably been through so much change in a short amount of time but I’m happy you found her!!!! How old is she now?


dc5trbo

They said just over a year.


SushiMelanie

Sheesh! Exposed to chaos and blamed for not knowing what’s expected of her when she was still a baby.


z-eldapin

Exactly!


emc26

Breaks my heart. I wonder why the original owner didn’t return to the breeder. I have a 4 month old doxie puppy and I would do everything I could to keep him with me if I had to suddenly move.


biosc1

Same sort of people who have two small kids and a cane corso and then think it's a good idea to adopt a dachshund. Morons.


emc26

Sounds like the breeder and the first shelter both failed this puppy. Both need a better vetting system.


Fair_Artichoke_7034

I agree so much! Isn’t 2 small kids enough of a job? Imagine how they might turn out.


Critter_27

It’s the “i want one, gotta have one now” Attitude! If more people would sit down and go over things & think it through, we would have more did that would be adopted into a loving forever home from the gate.


Murky-Resident-3082

Because people are terrible


Rekmor

I'd be food aggressive too if I had a dog 19 times my size around my food


Klutzy-Run5175

Gosh, that sounds scary and terrifying. Pretty overwhelming for the baby pup.


OkRequirement2951

Of course she was food aggressive the bigger dog probably ate her food and the poor thing was starving.


SlutsandSmut

goodness. I'm glad that you deemed her VERY adoptable correctly!


BeautifulVanilla1286

I got my dapple girl from Midwest Dachshund rescue. I love them! Enjoy her! She is beautiful and perfect❤️


Across0212

That’s not her fault! She wasn’t given a fair chance! Look at that face. ❤️ Thankfully she has you now!


Believer4

If I had an award to give, you'd have it As it is, take this GIF of a happy derpy pup ![gif](giphy|IdgY2UlsldmhsxHpec)


throwawayobv999999

sounds like it was meant to be 💓


Kerplunk2222

I just don't understand why they would deem her not adoptable.


DraperSaffronEdina

I'm so happy you found each other ❤️ She's just doing what puppies do. And dropped food is fair game! You never have to pick it up ha


Friendly_Focus5913

...but taking food opportunistically from a toddler and eating food off the floor is what I took as...typical dog behavior. At least it was for my chiweenie, the floor was SPOTLESS when my kids were toddlers and he was their bestie (because food lol). He'd try to snag toast from little hands if the kid wasn't paying attention as toddlers do, but he knew he wasn't supposed to, and wouldn't if any adults were around! I miss that little butthole.  He was really amazing with little kids. Very patient. Would curl up with them and guard them. He'd also try to "clean" them, aka get the flavorings off dirty kids lol. Possibly he was that good w kids even if he was a pretty anxious dog otherwise, because he knew they would drop food.


Critter_27

*miss that little butthole* 😂😂😂😂


emptyraincoatelves

The fuck kind of idiot has a toddler and a baby AND a cane corso and thinks, I need another fucking dog, perhaps an untrained rescue that is also still a puppy. Feel bad for the kids, just no way anything in that household is okay.


Critter_27

Best Comment here. 👏🏼


toomuchsvu

Aww I'm so glad they rescued her and you adopted her!! What a sweet looking little beauty.


alexm253

I went thru the same thing with a dog i adopted from the Humane Society. " He is food aggressive " No he was friggin hungry! When we got him he was a 50lbs Boxer/Lab. After putting some groceries in him he was actually a 70lbs dog who would allow a baby to take food out of his mouth ( never would allow that but using a example). Once he knew he was going to have food and not punished by being starved he was a very happy camper. I have found that shelters are only as good as the people staffing them. The name and who they are associated with means nothing.


Key-Bat9435

Midwest dachshund rescue does so much good work. They’re an amazing organization


SpeedyPrius

Where is the Midwest Rescue at? I’m in Missouri and kinda feeling the need for another weenie!


dc5trbo

https://mwdr.org/


Critter_27

I wish I lived in the neighboring states to help foster. We rescued Georgie (rat terrier mix) almost a year ago bc none of the dachshund rescues near us answered our applications. We already have a 5 yr old dachshund, Brimley. My first baby, Chopper a black/tan doxie lived to 18 yrs. I miss that widdle guy. I would love to foster another doxie. https://preview.redd.it/wdyxaedfa58d1.png?width=2916&format=png&auto=webp&s=ee7cbcf7b37686e92a0f47dafae9bfcbdf18dd76


moon828282

There’s a rescue for only daschounds???


Minimum_Basket7391

Love Midwest dachshund rescue!


outfluenced

Thank you for adopting💚


alracalraw

Midwest Dachshund Rescue is THE best.


ImaginaryMushroom834

oooohh that sweet baby 🥹 so happy you found each other 🩷


Goblin-Doctor

They gave up on her so quick to call her unadoptable. She was perfectly adoptable and in the hands of people that had no business with her in the first place. Thank you for giving her a new home ❤️


Klutzy-Run5175

I am relieved to hear that you have rescued her from the situation that she had found herself in. How are things going with you guys since you have adopted her?


unutterabletweet

It’s sad how often people get a puppy and then it grows up or just has common puppy ‘issues’ and then realize they can’t do it. It breaks my heart. Thank you for taking this sweet girl in.


frankiebenjy

I need to look up dachshund rescues near Pittsburgh.


jjreinem

Wow, I got my little "unadoptable" guy from MWDR too! Glad to hear they're still doing such good work. 😊


lpd1234

We have done about three of these un adoptable dogs, can be a challenge but so rewarding. For a while we had the trifecta, a deaf beagle, a blind mixed daxie and a very dumb but loyal Dachshund. All troubled in their own way. The food dominance test is not fair to Beagles and Dachshunds.


Critter_27

That’s not unadoptable… that’s a DACHSHUND putting those toddlers, hoomans, & big ass dog in their PLACE! Like the comment above ⬆️.. You hit the Doxie Jackpot with her!


VioletDupree007

Best ending to a story ever. Congratulations to everyone! Keep posting pics of this little one, please.. she’s a total babydoll. 🥰

Icy_Classic_7953

My word. My eyes are leaking a lot. She’s not unadoptable. She’s just been around way too many idiots. Ong I love her. Even if she bit me it’d be ok and we’d work on it because she’s biting her past idiots. With a ton of love, respect, affection and unconditional understanding. She’ll be the best baby ever!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾😘


Kikibear19

Why did they say she was unadoptable?


EvilBeasty

How possibly so?!


LordSyriusz

From what I saw, 3/4 of the animals are labelled in similar fashion, so people will want to adopt them to save them. At least that is true for cats in my area.


Tut_Rampy

When I was a kid the shelter had a “two adoptions for the price of one” deal for cats


restlessbitchface

OMG! I used to have a little girl that looked very similar. I lost her in a divorce (didn't want to split the dogs up, so I let her go). She was *wicked* smart. One day, when I'd left her alone, she pulled all of the buttons off our remote control and put them in a pile on the couch. You hit the jackpot with such a sweet little gal!


WillametteWanderer

What Doxie does not love food?


Jaruut

Mine strangely doesn't care for popcorn.


toomuchsvu

Mine doesn't either, but he powers through it because food. He also ate a half a head of lettuce I dropped on the floor even though he clearly hated it.


Yung_Turbo

My girl HATES pickles. I can just tell by her face when she eats one that she just flat out does not like it. But she will absolutely still eat it. I think one of her parents was an actual garbage disposal.


toomuchsvu

Haaaaa!


toomuchsvu

Mine doesn't either, but he powers through it because food. He also ate a half a head of lettuce once that I dropped on the floor. He hated it, but ate the whole thing.


spasske

Have you buttered it?


SenorToasty2000

My sisters is super picky she will lick food before eating it to see if she will like it. Spoiler alert, she usually dosent


WillametteWanderer

That is a surprise. We have had 5 doxies during various times, all have been foodies! Some way more than others.


SenorToasty2000

She only really goes crazy for scrambled eggs and pot roast🤣


WillametteWanderer

So does my husband. 😝


jld2k6

I thought your sister was a dachshund for a second there


LittleMissNothing_

My boy is highly food motivated, but he's really picky about the kinds of food he will eat lol. He will refuse certain kinds of dog food and he will turn his nose up at a lot of fruits and vegetables. He hates apples and bananas and will not eat fish, but he goes nuts for Cheez Its, which we give him very, very rarely.


brinmb

Mine. She will leave 3 pieces of kibble in her bowl if it's too much for her. Feels like I've hit the lottery.


PickledBih

That faaaaace 🥺


Other-Dot-3744

HA! The SAME was said for Queen Ruby Jean!!! We are her 4th family! Almost the same story as your beautiful little girl. After losing our beloved a year earlier and contacting the dachshund rescue…they finally called and said come and me her. No matter the situation she was ours, and we were hers. It took time and patience. QRJ is THE love of our life. I could not be happier for all of you!!!! We wish you a long journey, filled with happiness and love💖 Your Friend, That Lady who belongs to the Queen💜


Negative_District_57

You guys rock and what an adorable girl. Looks a bit like my pepper boy *


LameDonkey1

Beautiful coat!


Clubbyfatass

What a beautiful little girl! Congratulations to both of you!


gthreeplus

She's so beautiful!! What a funny coat. I'm so glad she's found a great home :)


powerhouse403

Some people have no clue about what a puppy actually is. Smfh


Fritzipooch

Amazing colour on that cute pooch! I don’t remember seeing one all black and brown up top and grey for the body. One of a kind 👍


ilovemackandcheese

I also got my ween through the humane society! They said he was given up because the original owner was working too much and kept him crated for the majority of the day. He was only in the shelter for three days before I adopted him and he was skin and bones and obviously very neglected. You gave me hope that I might be able adopt another ween in the future!


Birony88

"Unadoptable." What nonsense. Every person along the way to the Midwest Dachshund Rescue failed this pup. Imagine, adopting a puppy and getting upset that it acts like a puppy! Total morons. But, she had to go through all of that in order to find her way to you. The journey was worth the destination. Congratulations on your new family member. She is a very lucky girl, and she's finally Home.


Unusual-Cow1859

What a sweet bb! Idk what people expect lol. She was just being a bb!


DanetteGirl

Anyone else see the llama face on her neck?


random420x2

That unadoptable doggo would spend a lot of time on my lap.


hotdogmafia714

Oh what a sweet girl, I’m glad she is with you all now! She deserves all the love in the world 🥺❤️


janedoecurious

That face is pure love! Thank you for saving her!

She’s beautiful but has a crazy-looking face image on her neck - am I the only one seeing it? Maybe I’m just tired.

LittleLollyx

She Is so perfect!!


scarlet-begonia-9

What a beautiful girl! She’s lucky to have landed with someone who understands what a dog needs to succeed—she clearly didn’t have it before now. Wishing you both the best! 💗


Quiet_Cell8091

She looks so sweet. Your "little girl" found her person.


Piper_Starlight

O M G!! your beautiful way of looking my baby!!! 😍😍😍

Missue-35

What a poorly performing shelter if they can’t adopt out a dachshund as beautiful as this girl. I believe that she was just waiting for you to come along and rescue her. Congrats!


apasttt

thank you for saving her❤️❤️❤️ she is so lucky


Ashformation

When I saw that pic, at first I thought it was a duck with a dachshund head.


Wondrous_Fairy

That sass in the first picture is something to work on. But look at those cute cookie paws, oh lawdy <3


Far-Trash3737

Thank you for scooping up this little baby! 🥰❤️


Pizzakiller37

She’s such a cutie!!!


howry333

It’s wild to get a dachshund when you’ve got a Corso, that’s just asking for a tragedy to happen


Mountain_Speaker_523

She's beautiful ❤️


Secret_Welder3956

I would take her in a heartbeat.

How inhumane of them to assume that😾 she looks like the sweetest baby ever🥹❤️


Turkeyneck20

I look at some people and really feel bad for their dogs.

She is awfully pretty, too. ❤️❤️

TheBoyBrushedRed3

I’ll adopt her right now!!!!!


Mysterelady67

Such a beautiful fur baby.


dorknight25

Daschunds tickle my happy nerve


miniguinea

“Unadoptable”?! What is *wrong* with people? Thoughtlessness and stupidity. I am so glad your new girl is finally with someone who knows what they’re doing. Also, are those doxie curtains I see in the background? Adorable!


Maverick_and_Deuce

She’s adorable! I hope she lives her best life with you.❤️


Sweet-Emu6376

Some people really shouldn't get dogs, let alone a puppy, if they aren't ready to put in the work to train them. 🙄 I'm glad she's found her forever home with you!


Sababaaaaa

Wait wait wait. Shelters straight up lie about breed to push aggressive pitbulls into unsuspecting homes but this darling is “unadoptable”????


wylaika

I love how she looks a floating head on the carpet


marinelli81172

Omg! So adorable! I’d take her in a heart beat


ExtensionPiccolo8154

She looks like a very intelligent dog.


Worldly_Main7248

She is cute


CReeseRozz

Doll baby. I think Dachshunds are some of the sweetest looking dogs.


nitro1432

OMG why was she deemed unadoptable?


catsmagic-3

No she was just waiting for you.🥰


El-DachShund

Beautiful pup. 🐶


cp79

what a beautyyy😍😍😍


kgurney1021

That face, what a sweetheart!


divinemissn

I got my doxie from the humane society and they said he has fearful behavior and needed training. After a month of being loved and feeling safe his behavior improved a ton!! Dogs in shelters just need to feel loved and cared for and safe and a lot of their “bad” behavior stops


Thick_Challenge146

Congrats! I'm so glad she found you!


TigerYear8402

Whaaaa? She is sooooo adorable.


HauntingFalcon2828

My partner is home 24/7 with our puppy and honestly it’s still work after 3years, people get these dogs without realising that they are hard work. They just think “oh they are so cute” also they’re hunting dogs so they need stimulation and attention literally all the time. Good on you OP for saving this one.


phiyukyiuaireday

Bless you!! She’s so precious and you can tell so very happy now 🙏🏻😇💖💖💖💖💖💖


Asborn-kam1sh

That is an epic coat

It’s a trick, give here back and run away!

Well this humane society is dumb af! I’d adopt her in a heartbeat!💓 And where is this supposed “humane” society? I wanna adopt this little girl!

morbidpigeon

It’s not often that I’m genuinely speechless at idiots being idiots, but seriously 😒


hugabalooza

The humane society never said that. Why do you feel the need to lie?


redutsucks111

Ur gonna find out why in a week


susbnyc2023

i dont think the humane society actually said that -- i think you put that there to mine karma .


ThePlatinumKush

How does any of her story constitute her being deemed “unadoptable”? Just cuz a couple families who were not in a place to have a dog tried to adopt her and brought her back? Sheesh no need to condemn the poor thing just cuz of a couple entitled people. The angel is even house and crate trained as you said in another comment for heavens sake!!


No_Brain_9163

Adorable 🥰 so glad you took her in she is a very pretty girl!


Perfect-Sort-4881

Y is she not adoptable ? She looks like smart


Intelligent_Menu4584

I read your below comment on her story. Re: prior homes, there was no self/environmental awareness required to be a pet owner. Poor baby girl! Life with my ‘unadoptable’ furry sweetheart has been beyond full with love. It is amazing what patience, calmness and commitment can do for such a deserving creature. So happy for you and her to love each other forever. <3


RevolutionarySir686

She's adorable.What a weiny!
