Welcome to Dachshund Rescue NW (DRNW) & Dachshund
Club of Spokane's (DCS) new web site. We update this web site often, usually weekly, so be sure to check back often.
For information on our upcoming, monthly wiener events please read this
page below, bottom left side, for more details.
DRNW always has several rescued wiener doggies needing new homes at all
times so see below for that info too and help us adopt out homeless dogs instead of buying pups please! Thanks.

Welcome to the new home of Dachshund Rescue NW (DRNW) and the Dachshund Club of Spokane, Washington state, USA!
Dachshund Rescue NW equals "Happy wiener dogs to great, forever families!"
DRNW Mission Statement:
1. To educate the public about controlling the pet population through responsible spaying
and neutering of their pets.
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.
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.
2008: DRNW has adopted out
32 happy
dogs as of Aug. 23!
Thanks to everyone for saving a life
by adopting instead of buying a puppy!
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 in 2007 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 helped over the years before then, but we are guessing we have help to place well over
450+ dogs, some horses and cats since 1991. We have only had eight dogs returned since we
started rescuing as we choose forever homes for our rescues and those eight were also successfully placed in their forever
homes the second time around.)
Did you know we turn away over 100 to 150 Dachshunds each year and we can
only help between 40 to 50 dogs? Plus that is just in this area? Please consider adopting a homeless dog instead
of breeding yet another litter of pups that we might have to rescue later on. Thanks! UPDATE 2008: We are
on pace to turn away 150 to 200 Dachshunds this year alone. Please think twice before breeding yet another litter of
dogs that may be unwanted down the road.

Thanks everyone
who came to the parade for the Hillyard Festival in Harmon Park on August 2nd. We had fun for the day. Thanks
Steve and Linda R. for the Wiener Train again this year and see it next year.
This
next event will have to be moved to September. I have been swamped lately to plan this. Watch for it
after the Spokane Fair!
The Wiener Walk along the Centennial Trail and Picnic in Mission
Park is coming up the end of August. Stay tuned for those details here for an upcoming Sunday.
Do not forget your own picnic lunch and lawn chairs to visit with us after the wiener walk.
September 2008 Events:
We are helping the Spokane Humane Society again to man their adoption
booth at the Spokane fair. Please call them directly to volunteer and wear your club shirt. If you need a club
shirt then see the membership page on this web site.
This is one event we are helping others so our dogs are not allowed.
Now and then they allow me to bring in a rescued baby to show the public, but please leave your dogs at home. Thanks.
This is the one time a year we help out an area shelter get their
homeless animals adopted too. They have 10 days they need to man this booth so please sign up for more then one hour
for the whole fair. Thanks in advance for your help.
October 2008 Events:
We take the dogs in costume to area pet stores on the north side of Spokane to see if we can
beat other breeds. Stay tuned for those details here asd we find the contests times and dates. Usually they are
the saturday before Halloween. Get creative and go for it. Be aware that the hot dog buns have been done and will
not win. Hahahaha.
November 2008 Events:
The popular dachshund Training Days and Wiener Social Hour. This one is very well attended
each year so we are doing it again. Bring some munchies and your dog to learn a few things. Cost is $5 per dog

Our rescue's mascot is Bad Baby Bogart, below. He is also a rescue that we decided
to keep as our rottenly spoiled dog buddy. Click Bad Baby's photo below to see his large web site with
his funny stories and dog photos of his wiener adventures since we were blessed with him in our lives to represent all homeless
wieners at our dog events.
"Just take a little off the top please."
