Can we post your reference for our rescue here too? Email Margo at dragoonfr
@ hotmail.com. Just delete the spaces and send us an email on how we have helped you and your family by adopting one
of our many dogs at our rescue since 1991. Thanks in advance for your help.
With rescuing 40+ dogs each year we can't list all our rescue's references, but here
are a few of our favorites over the recent years.
After
the death of our last dachshund, we knew we would go through Dachshund Rescue NW. We had been to some of their events and
knew it was a very reliable rescue. In addition to adopting two fabulous dogs, we were able to access Margo's wealth of information
about behavior issues and training.
Not
every rescue gives you such follow though. Margo, Carolyn, and Dennis truly love dachshunds, which is reflected in their dedication
to the breed.

I met Margo two years
ago at a Dachshund party at Airway Heights. We've become good friends and I would like to acknowledge all the hard work Margo
is responsible for.
I
help with the rescue, but Margo does most of the work. She keeps the dogs until they are retrained since most come with abuse
and behavior problems. Some dogs are with her family for months and months. And then she has to emotionally let go when they
leave.
Margo finds not just homes
for unwanted dogs, but also quality homes with people who love their new Dachshund as much as we do like children.
I also adopted a
rescue puppy from Margo myself and she matched our personalities perfectly. Tara is now one of our mascots for the rescue.
I can't speak highly enough for Margo’s work. I respect her dedication
and love for the dogs in her care.
Sincerely,
Carolyn S.

Rescue NW Assistant Director

Dachshund Rescue NW is a good place to look for that special small friend. Margo has always
been very nice and easy to talk to. I know she will go the extra mile for her dogs and you. Lets think adoption. Remember
they need loving homes. Change those sad eyes to sparkling eyes of delight. Margo will help you do this.
I have wanted a full size Doxie for a long time. Margo and I have talked on many occasions. I live
in SW Oregon and she in Spokane (about 600+ miles apart) She knows what I want and I feel sure we will find it. I am unable
to go there, she knows she has a dog for me. You see I am 68 years old and am just getting over heart surgery. I need a Doxie
just as bad as it needs me. I know Margo will help. She will also help you, finding a good home for all her baby's is
very high on her list.
Call or better yet go see her and her Doxie's, you won't be disappointed. Look at those sad
faces telling you they need a good home. Maybe there will be one there that will let you know it is what you need and why.
Margo will also help. She will always be there for help and to tell you about upcoming events.
Hope you go see her.

A year and a half ago I adopted an abused female 3-year-old Dachshund from Margo. She was just being used
for a breeder and had not been socialized at all until Margo got her.
Kayla is the sweetest little creature now and getting better about being around other people thanks to Margo working
with her. When ever we go to any of the Dachshund events she is so excited when she sees Margo or Bad Baby
Bogart (Margo's own rescue dog). Margo loves them both. Kayla has also really bonded to me and when ever
we go any place she stays right with me.
My dogs and I have been out to Margo's farm many times and all the animals there are happy, well loved and
cared for. All the dogs love Margo very much and I'm sure sometimes it must be hard for her to give them up. But
she checks each and every person that comes to adopt one of her babies to make sure they get good homes.
Thank You Margo for having the Dachshund rescue if It wasn't for you I wouldn't have this sweet little girl I have
now.

Nola is a little over a year and half old now. We adopted her in
May/June of 2004 from your rescue.
Even though she isn't a dachshund, we are very very thankful you took her in. She is our darling and I just
knew as soon as I saw her picture posted on your site that she just had to come home with us. She is definitely
all hound - coonhound - and lets us know how she is feeling all the time. We love her very much and will always
be grateful to you for allowing us to adopt her.
We especially appreciate your carefulness in making sure your dogs are going to good homes. That is so important. You
have a very great thing going with your rescue service. Whenever, I know anyone is interested in adopting a dachshund,
I will not hesitate in the least to recommend you to them.
Sincerely, Millie & John B.

I adopted Frances in March of 2005 to be a companion to my Dachshund, Elsbeth, who just lost her "sister" at age 15.
Elsbeth was 9 and needed an older companion and from the moment I saw Frances on the internet I knew she was the girl for
us. From the day we picked her up at Dachshund Rescue NW Frances fit immediately into our home and into our hearts.
She was housebroken and learned to use the doggy door within 2 days. Frances also competed in the Weiner Dog
races and placed first in her group and ninth in the final race (last but we were all pround of her green participation ribbon!).
[Dachshund Rescue NW runs the Wiener Dog Races at Pet Fest each June.]
My daughter says she has a sweet aura about her, she is gentle with the grandkids and does a great high five with her
left foot!
Margo does a good job of providing these dogs with a loving environment and training before they go to a new forever
home. I have personally been to the farm and observed some extremely happy and well cared for rescue weiners!

"Following the loss of our beloved Duke, we knew we would need to fill that empty spot in our bed. After reading
the stories we found on the Dachshund Rescue NW website, we met with Margo and her kids.
Because she spends so much time with them, she knew which dog would suit our lives. Levi has been a part of our
family for over a year now and has brought us so much joy. We are so happy that we were able to give him another chance
at a good life. Thank you Margo!"

Margo Mossburg saved my dog's life. It is as simple as that.
When we "rescued" Willy from an abusive home
in Portland, OR we had no idea that this loving little dog could bite. Willy's predictable violent outbursts were more
than we could handle with a 3 year old and a brand new baby. Realizing that love just wasn't enough we had to find Willy
a place where he was no longer a danger to himself or others. But where? Every one told us that Willy needed to
be put to sleep. No one would take him...except Margo.
On a hot day in August of 2005 Margo welcomed us on to
her property with open arms. She gave us a tour and introduced us to her "herd". Margo's dogs were well fed.
They had green grass to play in, shade and even a kiddie pool to swim in. She loved them all...you
could tell...and
they loved her.
She let us take our time to say goodbye to our beloved pet of 6 years. Margo comforted me as
I sobbed. She really understood what we were going through. She assured me she would give him all the love and
training he needed to live a long, happy life. Since then I have received a picture of Willy thriving on the Mossburg's
farm and Margo writes me with updates whenever I ask.
Margo Mossburg is amazing. Her devotion to these dogs is
inspiring. I miss Willy every day, but I sleep well at night knowing that he is in the care of Margo Mossburg.

Adopting Peaches (from Dachshund Rescue NW) was the best decision ever made for
our family! She is a best friend and playmate to Bubba (our first doxie); someone for Bubba to be with while we are at
work all day. We can't imagine life without her and wonder why anyone would ever give such a sweet dog up. If only Peaches
could tell us her story. All I know is that it has a happy ending: she's part of our family now. 
Thanks, Carrie L.,
