We visited the Kentucky Dachshund Rescue after losing a much loved doxie to a clot after surgery. We fell totally in love with a little boy doxie Montana. Unfortunately, Montana had a friend, and we left without him because two new dogs were more than we felt our 16 year old mix doxie would tolerate. When we returned home, our hearts were heavy and after talking with the rescue many times we decided to take both of these babies. The rescue staff were wonderful with tips and advice on how to adjust to rescue puppies. Winston has some socialization issues since he was from a puppy mill, and is very afraid of everyone and everything. He has a great fear of stairs and being carried, but they are both such lovable babies. We work everyday at helping Winnie accept people and understand that no one will hurt him here. Montana is our clown... he has more energy than 4 -10 year old boys and keeps us laughing. He loves the stuffing in comforters and pillows and we have had a serious talk about not touching either. His toys are very important to him and at times becomes very protective, but we are learning to share. They both are adjusting well after only 4 months and love each other. Daisey, our 16 year old is adjusting and tolerating, well most the time. I can't tell you enough how important these rescue centers are to these sweet babies, please consider adoption!
