This page was last updated April 2024
Milo - Adopted!
This six year old boy has come to stay a while. This charming lad is on a weight loss program and we will keep you in the loop on his progress as we get to know him more. This pup is very loyal and has told his foster mom that he is in love with her already. He is bilingual and responds to French as well! Milo likes other dogs and can be very playful. (Adopted April 2024)
Maya - ADOPTED!
|
Maya is a 9 month old dachshund mix who is a cuddler and loves attention! Her foster is trying to teach boundaries, especially with food and people's space. Maya is not aggressive, but can be scared at feeding time. When it comes to people she just wants to cuddle or just be with you all the time. Maya is working on her housetraining as she does not like cold weather and chooses to use a pee pad instead of going outside. (Adopted March 2024)
|
Marlo - ADOPTED!
|
Miss Marlo is a 4 1/2 year old dachshund. She has had some back issues but we are hoping she straightens out shortly. We couldn't resist posting her with this face. What a doll! (Adopted April 2024)
|
Dexter - ADOPTED!
|
For a 12 year old dog, Dexter is agile and likes to snuggle with a blanket and warm lap! He has recovered well now from his dentals and neuter. He loves treats despite only having six teeth left and has a good appetite. His favourite toy is a squeaky chicken. He is still learning how to share personal space with the other two dogs in his foster home and would love to join the right family. (Adopted April 2024)
|
Duke & Ruby - ADOPTED!
|
Is your house a little lonely? Need some loyal company? Like snuggles in a quiet household? This bonded pair is very cuddly and sweet once they settle in your home. At 9 years young they don't need a lot of physical effort and make great companions in your quiet home. This pair are brother and sister from the same litter. They prefer to be alone and not with other dogs but do get along with cats. (Adopted April 2024)
|
Ginger - ADOPTED!
I am 5-years-old and came into care because I was really anxious. My foster family has been helping me through the anxiety and I am coming along really well. I'm only five years old and friendly. My foster brothers have taught me that it's ok when my humans leave - they always come back!! I'm also working on not being so scared when meeting new people - a couple of minutes of barking and I warm up pretty well. (Adopted March 2024)
Ranger - ADOPTED!
Ranger here on the far left is doing amazing in his foster home. He has been successfully learning the ropes and is really opening up. He has had no future issues since his emergency vetting done when he came into our care. Ranger is 2-years-old. (Adopted February 2024)
LUCY - ADOPTED!
|
Our little chiweenie, Lucy, is getting the last of her vetting done. At less than one year old, this little lady is wowing her foster home. She has sooooo many applications in for her adoption. (Adopted January 2024)
|
GEORGIE- ADOPTED!
|
Our little boy, Georgie, is doing amazingly well. He is smart and fun puppy (aren't they all???), cuddly and adventurous. Once he figures out how to take cues from other dogs a lil better we are sure he will be sifting through his applications and picking one that he likes. (Adopted January 2024)
|
LUNA - ADOPTED!
Luna the wee chocolate puppy is on the back of her foster sister Zoey. She is doing amazingly well and has recovered from her pneumonia. It seems a common trend happening with these dogs impressing their foster homes as she is really fitting in well. Do you think it's her cute cuddles? (Adopted January 2024)
Rex - ADOPTED!
*Rex, one of our paralyzed dogs, has officially been adopted with his sister dog who is also paralyzed. With the amount of time his foster home has had him and worked on his needs, they just couldn't part with him.
Rex is a 6 year old boy looking for his forever home. This sharp dressed man is a friendly little guy who likes other dogs, kids and even cats. He loves being the center of attention, squeaky toys and giving many kisses. Loyalty is the name of his game with his family, and he will bond really tight with them.
Rex was dealt a bit of a "sore" hand of cards and it went to his back. He is a true fighting champion though, and his opponent IVDD can't keep him down. He is back up and at it again so will need someone not afraid to work with his bit of disability. He is walking again fine but will need a laid back home with lower energy levels so he doesn't get too crazy and risk future flare ups.
A training and maintenance program to help with the IVDD will be available for Rex free of charge to the adopting family, so get your blankets and beds ready for Rex to come on home! (Learn more about IVDD.)

sasha - ADOPTED!
Our little girl Sasha has her teeth done today to a whopping 19 teeth removed!
Poor little girl is doing well and will be happy once she recovers. She also will be available for adoption once she recovers and we all know there's a man out there looking for a hot date. Sasha gravitates to men and a boyfriend would be excellent.
This wee one is really easy going and seems to do well in nearly all environments. She is potty trained and will use a pee pad if needed. This 8 year old girl is quite the little gem.

Toby & Reese - adoptED!
Toby is a sweet and energetic 9-year-old Yorkie who loves to be held and snuggled. He barks at every animal on TV. Toby loves his squeaky toys and playing with his brother, Reese. Toby likes to sleep in bed as close to your pillow as he can get, and if you are not paying attention, he will end up sharing the pillow with you! Toby can be picky when it comes to his food but all treats are welcome. Toby is very attached to his brother, Reese. He cleans Reese every night before bed and Reese very much enjoys it.
Reese is a 6-year-old dachshund who LOVES love. His favourite toys are also ones that squeak. Reese is not picky at all with his food and is very food motivated. But what ween isn't? Reese also prefers to sleep in bed under the covers touching both his brother and a human.

Toby and Reese are the sweetest boys. They both got along right away with the other dogs in their foster home and tolerated the cat - with a bark here and there!
Toby and Reese both enjoy walks and seem to do well with older children. Toby and Reese nap together, play and eat together and are very much a bonded pair. As such, Toby and Reese will need to be adopted together.
These two will for sure make someone very happy and are looking forward to all the love and belly rubs they are sure to get!

rolo - adopted!
Our handsome boy Rolo is ready to find his forever place!
Rolo is an 8-year-old standard dachshund mix who is extremely affectionate and energetic. He's originally from South Africa and we are teaching him English words, but he's a very fast learner! He's very direct with what he wants and enjoys being a lap dog.
Rolo loves going for walks and playing tug. He will need an active home to continue his weight loss journey and to keep his mind stimulated. Rolo likes other dogs as long as they don't get in his space or crowd him.
Rolo does not like babies or young children and would do best in an adults-only home. A home that has experience with dachshunds is recommended as he is a dominant personality. Rolo has bitten , but we have not had any incidents or concerns in our care. He displays plenty of warning signs making an experienced home a valuable asset. He also has a very high prey drive, and cats are not recommended.
Rolo has gone for formal training and is improving every day. An experienced home will be able to contribute his progress and let him blossom.

tater - ADOPTed!
Tater is an 11-month-old pup who is very sweet and has lots of love to share. He is great with kids and other dogs. He barks minimally which makes him suitable for apartments dwellers. He loves to snuggle with you on the couch, but also loves to go out on his walks. Tater is working on his potty training and manners. He does tend to be protective of his food as well, but has been doing great at his foster home.
This pup has a few special needs. Tater is partially blind in his right eye, and does have some skeletal deformities, especially in his back legs. He has a higher risk of developing degenerative, joint disease and hip dysplasia, so he will need higher level of care later in life.
Tater loves to play with toys, he runs and shakes them when he is very happy! He is the biggest, snuggle bug and loves to give kisses. He is a very special boy, his foster family loves him, and hoping he finds his fur-ever family soon!

Mays & Ace - adopted!
Mays & Ace
|
Mays & Ace are amazing dogs that deserve an amazing home that will love them unconditionally. They would prefer a home where they could snuggle up in the bed with their new owners/parents, if it’s not too much to ask! Mays & Ace are closely bonded and will need to go to a new home together. They both have occasional seizures, which the vet has not found a reason for.
Both Mays & Ace are good with children. They need to be in a house (not a condo or townhouse) as they are both barkers. Both are very smart dogs and learn new routines quickly (except no barking!) and they are both house trained. They both get along with other dogs. |
Mays is tiny 4-year-old dachshund, but she’s feisty! It may take a bit of time to earn Mays' trust, but once she starts feeling safe, she won't leave your side. Mays can be a bit over protective of those she loves, especially her brother, Ace. Mays will be protective of her owner and any children in the home. Mays loves children and has a huge amount of patience for them. She normally falls behind on cuddles because her brother hogs it all. Mays normally does not ask for cuddles, but will give you this look that makes your heart feel that you need to snuggle her!
Ace is a 4 1/2 year old dachshund snuggle bear! He will do just about anything to get a pet and is perhaps also the most trusting of the two. Ace will warm up to anyone within minutes and he is the gateway to Mays’s heart. He’s the most gentle baby. Ace will benefit from a house with minimal stairs, as he has a little trouble going down the stairs. Ace has a bit of blurred vision on one side and sometimes may bark if he does not recognize you. Ace may need his treats closer at times so he can see them!

Charlie - adopted!
Charlie is a 6 year old dapple who is very lovable and protective. He loves children, other dogs, cats, and his humans. He has IVDD and is paralyzed from about the mid back down. Charlie loves walking and running in his wheel chair but is just as happy to forego the wheel chair and drag himself around. (Learn more about IVDD.)
Charlie is in a belly band full time as he is incontinent and sometimes needs help with his bowels. He loves napping but his favourite is to be in your lap and getting all the snuggles he can get. He loves to play and his favorite toys are squeaky toys. He loves to play tug with anyone that will give him the chance.
Charlie loves water and if you have a small pool and throw a ball or anything that floats (frozen fruit and vegetables) or other toys into it, he will bounce around making sure to get all the toys, balls, fruits and vegetables as fast as he can.
Charlie loves to give kisses and smiles all the time. He is a very special boy and is looking for his forever home.

Charlie gets along really well with other dachshunds. He does take a bit to warm up to humans but once trustful, enjoys a cuddle on the couch. He seems to especially gravitate towards men. Charlie enjoys being outside.
acorn- not yet accepting applications - still getting to know her!
Acorn is a little girl at only 6 lbs. She is 13 years young! Acorn is currently waiting to get in for some vet care that may require surgery. Once we know that she is well and ready to find her forever home, we will post more information here. Stay tuned!
Molly - Adopted!
Molly is a 6 year old lovable but prickly girl. She loves her people and will cuddle and snuggle all day if given the chance. In a home setting she can take a bit to warm up. Molly is FULL of energy despite not having use of her back legs. That does not slow her down though. Get her into wheels and watch your toes as she ZOOMS. The therapists at the Canine Fitness Centre have been working on building up her core muscles and strengthening her legs. If Molly has some food or a favourite toy, she will resource guard. She would do well as an only dog or with other dogs more on the submissive side. Molly needs to be in a house, not a condo or apartment, as she is loud!
Kody - adopted
Kody was our fun loving, little unicorn! With his adorable little puppy bounces and playfulness, it's hard to believe this little man is 10 years old! Kody is the happiest when he gets to wrestle with his foster siblings or humans. Occasionally he'll also entertain himself with whatever toy he finds to run off with. He rarely has a word to say (shocking for a Doxie!) and is friendly with all people and dogs. Though still working on his house training, he's doing better and better every day. Kody is prone to sebaceous cysts. They are the harmless bumps found on his skin. Our little man also seems to have a serious heart murmur and is seeing a cardiologist for this.
Valerie - adopted
Our sweet Valerie has been adopted into a wonderful home. She even started to walk again! Her skin got better and her hair came back, so she now looks more like a dog and less like a house hippo! This girl needed a special home to help her continue her road to recovery. Yay, Valerie!
Padme - adopted!
Paddy is a 11-year-old dark and tan female miniature dachshund who is now happily living her best life!.
Phynn - ADOPTED
Phynn (or Phynny) is a lovely 5 year old, neutered male. He came into ADR in late August when he presented signs of IVDD. He had lost full use of his back legs as well as developed incontinence.
Over the course of almost three months, his foster mom has taken Phynn to the holistic vet for acupuncture and laser therapy treatment. She is happy to report that Phynn has regained at least 90% of his mobility, and he’s able to walk again and even “gallop.” But due to this, he very much dislikes walking on hard floors as his back legs won’t get grip. So it would be best if his new home had carpeting or rug runners (or yoga mats!) to allow him to walk.
While super sweet and loving, Phynn suffers from extreme separation anxiety. If you start getting your coat on and hears your car keys jingle, he will let you know that he doesn’t want you to go anywhere. Once you do leave your house, he is ok and is non destructive.

wilbur - Adopted
Wilbur is the sweetest, happiest boy ever!!! He is a senior dachshund (we think about 12-years-old) who is a huge cuddle bug and loves to be constantly by your side. Wilbur loves walks, car rides and any food - even fruit and veggies. He gets along great with other dogs and is not much of a barker. At bedtime he likes to snuggle in beside you under the covers and wakes up with his tail wagging. Wilbur is a pretty easy-going dachshund who is going to make a family very happy!
EBONY (ALSO KNOWN AS DERPY) - ADOPTED
|
Ebony (also known as Derpy) is a really sweet little guy who gets along well with everyone he meets, including children and other dogs and cats. Ebony is 10-years-young and loves being outdoors and going for walks - and camping! Ebony is housebroken but is still learning how to let his people know that he needs out to do his business, so offering regular trips outside will help him to avoid accidents. Ebony has had lots of dental work done in the past and now has a bit of a snaggletooth, which just adds to his personality! This very loyal and loving pup is ready for his forever home!

OLLIE - ADOPTED
Ollie is a handsome 5-year-old standard Dachshund (32 pounds) currently being fostered in Winnipeg. Ollie is looking for his new family, preferably one where there are no young children and he can be the only dog. Ollie's short life has taught him to be distrustful of humans and other dogs and it takes him a while to accept new people in his life. Because of this, Ollie will require an experienced owner to work with him and help him learn new ways of getting along with others. The hope is that because Ollie is in the Winnipeg area, that we will be able to find his new home there. This is what else we know about Ollie:
"My name is Ollie. I am a happy dog that enjoys lots of love, relaxing, structure and training. I am house trained and able to do tricks like sit, stay, down and shake a paw. However, I may have selective hearing when it comes to basic commands when treats are not involved but will do my best to follow through with commands with guidance.
I love walks and behave nicely when on a leash. When I am at home, I like to take it easy in my dog bed but will look for an opportunity to sneak on the couch for snuggles and affection. I may get along with people and dogs, but I do have trust issues, so I need the space and time to warm up to new environments or situations. Also, when I am overwhelmed with things or the environment at home, I will go to my safe space aka my living quarters to decompress.
I have no issues being confined in a closed area for hours when the hoomans need to step out for a couple hours. I may whine initially when they leave but I will head to my bed for a siesta so that I can dream about treats. A fenced backyard is pawsome because I like to relax and soak up the sun for hours or keep the hoomans company."

VINNY & PIPER - ADOPTED
Vinny is a regal 12-year-old, but don't let his age fool you. This handsome chocolate dapple boy is still plenty active and loves a good tug-o-war. He is spry and enjoys a leisurely walk. He seems to be good around other dogs but is also fine on his own or with his favorite muse, Piper. Vinny loves to cuddle with mum or just slip under the blankets with Piper for well deserved naps. Just be careful where you sit though! Vinny is always a gentleman and has a lovely gentle spirit that is so easy to have around.
Piper is as sweet as they come. This little 7-year-old lady has abundant energy and is always up for some games or just entertaining you with her vivacious, energetic behaviours. She loves to play fetch and tug-o-war too and never says no to a cuddle. This little girl is an amazingly easy going pup and will take on the energy of any environment she is in. Piper really lives in the moment but is truly a little clown.
Piper and Vinny are wonderful companions. Their previous owner has them very well trained and it shows in all of their behaviours. Both are house trained, good doorbells, a great welcome committee but they settle quickly. They are very flexible in regards to the time spent with them. Both Piper and Vinny have had their vet checks and are healthy, but Vinny has been diagnosed with an enlarged heart, which will likely require medication for the rest of his life.
As a bonded pair, it is truly heartwarming to watch Vinny and Piper interact and care for each other. Their future fur-ever owners will be fortunate indeed!

Bella & Bandit - Adopted
|
Both Bella & Bandit have amazing temperaments and love attention. This brother and sister pair will be turning 5 years old on November 12, 2021.
Bella loves everybody! She is good with cats and loves to snuggle with dogs and humans. Bella enjoys her beauty naps but is quick to get up when it is time to eat. Then she is all full of energy and heads to the kitchen full speed. Bella is paralyzed with IVDD and uses a cart to get around outside. As with most dogs, Bella lives in the moment and is a happy dog looking for her forever family. Bella will require special care, including someone who will express her bladder a few times each day. Bella can pee on her own but it is usually when she is excited. She will need someone willing to learn how to express her bladder two or three times each day. |
Bandit is a happy-go-lucky pup who loves people and enjoys playing with the cat! Bandit is house trained but does have the occasional accident in the house. Bandit recently had a bout with IVDD and received treatment right away. He is once again walking and well on his way to a full recovery. Bandit loves playing with and chasing toys that are thrown for him and is a wonderful brother and companion to Bella.
We are taking adoption applications for Bella and Bandit who must be adopted together. Their new family will need to be aware of the IVDD, symptoms, and how to be proactive.

Benny is an active senior fellow and will want to be in a home that can make sure he can get his daily exercise. Benny is okay with other children as long as they are respectful.
