Dachshund Rescue NW equals "Happy wiener dogs to great, forever families!"
1. To educate the public about controlling the pet over
population through responsible spaying and neutering of their pets and to let the public know how many purebreds end up in
shelters and are being destroyed each year here from being unwanted and overbred.
2. To let the public know about
the history of the Dachshund breed about how they are hunting dogs and all that entails. The education also includes that
this breed is not always suitable for every home especially those with very young children or those without secure, fenced
yards and how noisy and active a hunting breed can be and all the training needed to be owned by this breed.
3. To let
everone know that we usually have a dog club event once a month for the Dachshund Club of Spokane members like the Wiener
Dog Races, potluck picnics, attendance in four area parades and holiday parties for the dogs, Dachshund Training Days,
etc., and use those events to get our homeless wieners out in public so they can be adopted to forever families.
2009: DRNW has adopted out 34 happy dogs as of June 29 and one horse too. We hope to beat last year's record for
us in homeless wiener
adoptions!
Thanks to everyone for saving a life
by adopting their new family member
instead of just buying a puppy!
2008: DRNW adopted 59 happy
dogs, a new record for us!
2007: DRNW adopted out 38
happy dogs this year.
2006: DRNW adopted out 30 happy dogs, one horse and six
cats also this year. (We helped less critters this year due to the
Director's major car wreck, but up to full speed again for us!)
2005: DRNW
adopted 47 happy dogs, a new record for us!
2004:
DRNW adopted out 42 dogs, a new record for us!
2003: DRNW
adopted out 35 dogs and four horses
and one cat, a new record for us!
2002: DRNW adopted
out 33 dogs, a new record for us!
(We did not keep really keep good records of how many
needy wieners we have helped over the years before then, but we are guessing we have help to place well almost 500 dogs,
some horses and cats since 1991. We have only had nine dogs returned since we started rescuing
as we choose forever homes for our rescues and those nine were successfully placed in their forever homes the second
time around because we screen our adopters.)
