Hi, My name is SpeedWay, but they call me Speedo for short. I am a male dapple piebald dachshund. I will be 3 yrs old on July 27. When I was a baby, the puppy mill I was born at sold me to another puppy mill to be used as a stud dog. I was thrown into a quansit building to live my life in a small wire cage. My puppy mill owner didn't know I was deaf although they owned me for almost 3 years. My rescuer bought me off of a dog auction, and she knew I was deaf after only being at her house for 1 day. The puppy millers didn't care that I may be passing this on to all the puppies that I sired, although their website claims them to be "dachshund experts" .

Because of the fact that I can't hear I really need to have a family that has a fenced in yard, and because I was caged in such a small area I have this minor quirk of running in alot of circles, BUT my rescuer has a big fenced yard and it has been kind of weird and fun learning how to walk and run in a straight line ! Sometimes I accidently get myself into a corner and start circling...but then I find my way back into going straight again. It has been really fun learning how to walk on grass and playing with toys and I really get along good with all the other doggies here. I love everyone I meet, kids too. I really am a great little dog, and I am pretty little, only about 7 lbs., tops, so I won't take up much space and will be a good friend if someone is willing to share their home with me

and able to deal with my silly ways.

I sleep very good in a crate, and since I am so busy running in my big yard, that when I go to sleep I am very tired and sleep very hard. You can make all the noise in the house you want to...it doesn't bother my sleeping one bit ! Kinda like you turning off your hearing aide ! My shots are all up to date now, I am now neutered, I had my teeth cleaned and 6 bad teeth removed, and I am heartworm negative, and I even got groomed by this very nice girl...even a manicure and my ears cleaned out...( what's up with that, I can't hear anyway ! ) So I'm good to go, and am now ready to interview my future forever family. I am excited about this phase of my new life. Speedo

Hi, my name is Hope. I am a 5 yr. old female dachshund and I have lived my life in a puppy mill in Kansas. I was used for continual breeding until my last litter of puppies, I had to have a c-section, so they didn't want me any more. My rescuer bought me off of a dog auction. I was not in very good shape and my rescuer took me to the vet. I had a big lump on my back and my teeth were black from front to back. I had to have 13 teeth pulled, but the ones I have left are really nice and white now, and I am back to eating hard dog kibble. When the vet spayed me she said whoever did my c-section really butchered me, and it looked like it had been a "at home" job.

My uterus had adhered to my bladder so my surgery took a little longer than usual, but now I am in good shape and feel great. The antibiotics took away the big lump on my back too, so figured it was a big pocket of infection. I was pretty much in shock when I came to my rescuers house. Wow, it was like doggie Disneyland. I never dreamed there were such things as a big yard to run in. All I had before was a wire cage. My feet were really sore. And toys to play with! Never dreamed there was such a thing. And I get to sleep on a doggie bed with a big fluffy blanket. You can't imagine what I used to have to sleep on. I have discovered that I really like to be touched and I love to have my tummy rubbed. I roll right over for that treatment !
