Dachtoberfest: A Special Dog Needing a Forever Home: Chili

Chili needs a home

Here's an adoptable dog we met at this past weekend's Dachshund

festival "Dachtoberfest." Chili is a 9 year old red, smooth dachshund who had injuries to her front paws, so she can't walk much, but can stand to do her business. She needs a loving home!

Meet Gilligan! Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue's Available 13 year old Dog 2017

Looking to adopt a great Senior Dachshund? 
   Gillian may be 13 years old, but he's got a lot of life in him.  Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue has just taken in this sweet boy, as his family moved into a place that doesn't allow dogs.

Meet Gilligan, a very active senior boy who wants to be your snuggle buddy.  Gilligan does not act his age.  He loves to go on walks, meander in the yard and play with toys.  Gilligan is a talker; he will let you know when he wants attention and a belly rub.

GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS 
He has lived with other dachshunds and is friendly to other small dogs he meets on his walks.  Gilligan is not so sure about the big dogs, and we don’t know how he reacts to cats.  He’s happy to meet new humans and he grew up with teenagers.



HOUSEBROKEN
Gilligan is housebroken, but he does mark inside so he’s being retrained with a belly band. 

HEALTHY  - He's getting shots, dental, etc. 
He’s heart worm negative, up-to-date on his shots and he will soon be neutered and receive a much needed dental cleaning.  Gilligan is in great shape. 

A LITTLE GUY! Just 12.5 pounds! 
He’s a trim 12.5 pounds and has no trouble getting around or jumping onto the couch to be next to you – not that we encourage that!  Gilligan isn’t crate trained and prefers to sleep on the couch at night.  We are training him to sleep in a cozy dog bed instead.




WHY HE CAME TO THE RESCUE
Gilligan’s family lost their home and could not keep him.  He has many years of love and play left to give.  Gilligan would love to be your forever companion.

Fun at Dachtoberfest! - Photos, dog costumes, and more

Our foster dog Max in the Wienermobile!

Dachtoberfest, a festival organized and managed by Coast-to-Coast Dachshund Rescue was held this past Sunday, October 11th in Middleburg, Pennsylvania. It was so much fun and full of Dachshunds of all shapes and sizes. I brought our foster dog, Max up for the event and he met some pretty wonderful people. 

Rob and Max

the 2nd Super Mario Bros. brother

The event was in central Pennsylvania, east of Harrisburg (so it took 2 1/2 hours to drive there), and Max was the perfect traveling companion. Max is our 11 1/2 year old long-haired foster Dachshund. Max enjoyed his time there and posed for a photo in the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile (Thanks to rescue volunteer Manuela Fields for a great photo).  Max is adoptable (like many other dachshunds) at www.c2cdr.org.

Baltimore Ravens dog and Minnie Mouse

COSTUME EVENT - Many dogs had great outfits in the costume contest. There are many pictured on today's blog.

 

A Wtich and M and Ms dog!

There were a lot of vendors there informing people about Dachshunds, selling dog-related items, sketch artists, food vendors and groups like Dodgerslist, which offers education for owners and dogs suffering with back problems due to disc disease (ruptured, herniated, slipped disc, IVDD). 

One of the Super Mario Bros.

Of course, since this was a weiner dog event, I had to have a hot dog for lunch- it seemed appropriate. :) 

It took this muscular guy to handle 4 dachshunds!

BECOME A FOSTER PARENT OR ADOPT A DOG - Save a Life! 

There are many dogs that need forever homes, and many that need FOSTER homes. PLEASE consider becoming a foster parent if you can't adopt. It will save a dog's life and take them out of kill shelters. You just provide food, shelter, and take them to the vet (and the rescue covers the vet bills). Learn more at  www.c2cdr.org.

The Queen of Halloween had her own wagon!@

 
PETS AND THE AFTERLIFE - I brought copies of my book to the event, but was totally focused on the dogs, the rescue and getting the dogs adopted. I spoke to several people who had experiences and messages from their pets who passed, and one pretty amazing woman whose dog's spirit nudged her to the event for a very good reason. 
 

Meet Milo! A lovable 11 yr old red Dachshund available for adoption through CCDR

Since I gave a talk this past weekend about Pets and the Afterlife, I wanted to share info about an adoptable dog that I helped rescue last weekend  through Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue.

Meet Milo!   A week ago Sunday, we were the last in the transport leg for two senior Dachshunds who were brought into the rescue (from a divorced home). Now you can "Meet" them- through this biography, photos and video I put together to help get them adopted.

Milo is a lovable (and overweight), red long-haired dachshund. He isadoptable thru c2cdr.org. he's on line now.  
 

MEET MILO

Hi I'm Milo!  I'm a senior male dog with a super-sweet personality. I'm a very docile red long-haired (mostly my tail) dachshund registered with the American Canine Association. I LOVE to take life easy. Life is a gift, and I'm a mellow guy. In fact, I'm cuddler and will come up to you and sit on your lap if you're sitting on the floor.

Sadly, I'm a victim of a divorce (like my brother Max, an 11 year old black and tan doxie also up for adoption) where my human parents split and I was placed in a foster home.

I really need to be in a home with another dog. I grew up with Max and am not happy unless I have another dog around.

I LOVE food.. I mean I really love food.  I confess I've eaten some of my brother's food, so I'm about 24 pounds. I need to lose weight and working on it. I'm neutered, heartworm negative and up to date on all vaccinations through March 2016! My teeth are in good shape and I'm healthy except for the weight thing, but we all like treats. I take heartworm and flea preventative on the 21st of each month.

I'm a happy guy who loves slow walks!

I normally eat twice a day, around 7 am and 6 p.m. Before bedtime, if you get out a milk bone I will stop whatever he's doing to jump into my bed. Then, if you partially cover the crate with a blanket, it makes me feel secure so I can sleep through the night.  

I don't mind taking a bath, and getting my nails trimmed is no big deal (although a lot of dachshunds don't like it). That's how easy going I am! 

I came into the rescue on Aug. 2, 2015 with my 11 year old brother Max (and we grew up together, so if you're looking for a pair of sweet seniors, we would love to be adopted together).

Milo is adoptable at Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue for an adoption fee of $150. For information go to: c2cdr.org. The adoption fee helps reimburse the rescue for all the up-front medical costs, vaccines, spay/neutering, etc. that are done to get dogs healthy and adoption ready.

Meet Max: A Senior (11 yr) old Dachshund up for Adoption through CCDR

Met Max!

I wanted to highlight my own Foster dog who is available for adoption through Coast to Coast Dachshund rescue.

Last  Sunday, we were the last in the transport leg for two senior Dachshunds who were  brought into the rescue (from a divorced home). Now you can "Meet" them- through this biography, photos and video I put together to help get them adopted.

Milo (his brother - the red dachshund pictured with him) went to another foster home.  

   11 yr old Max relaxed and has fit in with our 3 canine kids. He is adoptable thru c2cdr.org. he's on line now. 

MEET MAX!

Max Relax

Hi I'm Max!  I'm an active, happy 11 year old neutered male black and tan longhaired Dachshund looking for a forever home. I'm 18 pounds of fun and I come with a Pedigree! How cool.

I really need to be in a home with another dog. I grew up with Max and am not happy unless I have another dog around.

I love, love, love squeaky toys, rope toys, walks, chasing balls in the backyard and I love to cuddle. I'm okay with kids. I'm neutered, heartworm negative and up to date on all vaccinations through March 2016! My teeth are in good shape and I'm healthy except for the weight thing, but we all like treats.

I do have a heart murmur, so brushing my teeth to keep them clean is essential.  That doesn't stop me from bringing my tennis ball to you for lots of play, daily!

 I take heartworm and flea preventative on the 21st of each month.

My birthday is February 6, 2004.

Sadly, I'm a victim of a divorce (like my brother Milo, an 11 year old red doxie also up for adoption) where my human parents split and I was placed in a foster home.

I normally eat twice a day, around 7 am and 6 p.m. Before bedtime, if you get out a milk bone I will stop whatever he's doing to jump into my bed. Then, if you partially cover the crate with a blanket, it makes me feel secure so I can sleep through the night.
