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 controling 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 uss those events to get our homeless wieners out in public so they
can be adopted to forever families.
2008: DRNW has adopted out
15 dogs
as of May 11!
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
400+ dogs, some horses and cats since 1991. We have only had six dogs returned since we started
rescuing as we choose forever homes for our rescues and those six were also successfully placed in their forever homes
the second time around.)
Did you know we turn away over 100 Dachshunds each year and we can only help
between 40 to 50 dogs and 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!

down the stuff too. The event is free for the public and runs from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Any help is always appreciated.

May 2008
Events:
Wieners on Parade
at the Junior Lilac Parade in downtown Spokane, 5/10/08
Join us in downtown Spokane off of Boone Ave near Washington near the Veteran's Memorial Arena parking
lot. Park near the southeast corner and walk in behind the Boy Scout office off of Washington.
They are restricting cars this year so better to walk in unless you have too much to carry in.
We will be decorating the Wiener Train at 8 a.m. with the group photo around 9:00 a.m. or so.
The parade starts at 10 am. We feed in the parade as a group on the street just South of the coliseum parking lot near
Washington Street. Besides helping us decorate the float by unloading and jumping in there to help please. We
also like to visit and catch up so do come early and visit.
The parade itself is one mile through downtown. Many folks walk their dogs but some push decorated
strollers or pull wagons. Some put their dogs on the train if they get tired too. This day is usually sunny and
it warms up fast so wear layers of purple. They sell a lot of fun items at area Dollar Stores to decorate you and your
doggy. Get crazy in purple costumes and join us.
To see some previous parade people and how they all looked to give you ideas on how to dress jup for
the day go here: http://www.edragoon.com/drnwphotos and click on each photo album.
We will meet at 8 a.m. and the parade starts at 10 a.m.
to decorate, etc.
