Canadian Dachshund Rescue (Ontario) is an all-volunteer rescue organization that rehabilitates and rehomes dachshunds in Ontario. All dogs that enter our program are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and have their immediate medical needs seen to. The dogs stay in foster homes until new homes are found for them. Because we’re all volunteers and we help dogs from our own homes, we have very low overhead costs so more of your donations can go directly to medical bills for the dogs. We’ve been operating since 2001 and have placed over 700 dachshunds in new homes.
This blog is the dog’s side of the story. It’s written by dogs for dog lovers. Some dogs have been in one home since puppyhood, some were adopted years ago, some are newly adopted, and some are waiting for homes. All of them have a unique personality and perspective. For them rescue is not about business or politics, it’s about life and love.
Mommy and her big bump went to the people doctor yesterday and today Daddy told me that she emptied her belly into a baby girl named Sydney. I can’t wait to see her but she better not be cuter than me!
Hi I'm April and those are MY toys
I know that most of us don’t like babies so here is my Baby Relations Pledge:
-I promise not to bark at you (much)
-I promise not to shred your toys (almost)
-I promise not to pee on you
-I promise to share my blankets
-I promise to clean up all the food you drop
-I promise not to pull your hair, if you don’t pull mine
-I promise to protect you from other dogs, Bentley the cat and other little humans
-I promise to love you as much as Mommy and Daddy do.
I thought I was going to piddle right on the table!
Going on the TV wasn’t as exciting as it was scary. That is a strange place with weird smells, people and kittens, I was very, very nervous but I did my best to be a good boy. I liked the nice lady who was holding me but I wondered if this big studio was my new home? I love my foster Mommy and I know someday I will be in a forever home but there weren’t any toys there, or blankets. I really wanted to wag my tail to all my friends watching (especially Jovi) but I couldn’t quite get it out from between my legs.
Please, please let my forever home have toys, blankets and sunshine!?
Click on the image up there to watch me, I’m part 4….
I can’t figure out from the CP24 site whether the show is on at 7 or 7:30. The schedule says 7:30, and the show’s blurb says 7. Humans – mostly a useless bunch.
I told Doogle about the change after the producer let me know, and he says he’ll still be able to be there.
If you miss it, they record it and put it on their site.
And don’t think I missed that crack about a picture of me in the tub. Unlike some attention grabbers, I have some self respect. Show me the kibble and we’ll talk. Nothing is for free in this world.
Oh boy, I’m gonna be on the TV! I don’t know what that means exactly but I get to go to a place with lots of people and meet a nice lady and tell people my story. I’m on something called Animal House Calls on CP24, Tuesday March 9th @ 5:15pm in Toronto.
I want to send a signal out to all my friends who helped me get better and cared for me and Deke so when I wag my tail I’m saying hi and thanks to all my CDR friends. Please watch me!
Pretty even when wet
I didn’t really like that but I know when I’m finally dry I’ll get lots of rubs because I’ll smell good and I’ll be all fluffy. I’ve heard the people speak of ‘dry cleaning’. Do you think we could have that done instead? It sure beats being wet cleaned.
Wow the pictures, the poses, the attitude, you guys are awesome!

Save up your rubs for me!
Hi, it’s Robin and I’m not very happy and I’m always happy. Mom said that I’m not going to the Sportsman’s Show after all because of all these things I don’t really understand like that it moved to a new place and there is $17 parking and $500 tables and other numbers and things. All I know is that I was looking forward to all the petting and helping to raise money for dogs like me. I joined the rescue at this time last year and I guess that makes this my anniversary! My first job was to go to the Sportsman’s Show and to tell people that even pretty dogs like me need help sometimes. I remember that I went to the show one morning with my foster mom and I came home with my forever mom but I didn’t know she was my forever mom but I know that now.
I’m still going to the All About Pets Show in Mississauga the first weekend in April. I hope that you will come and pet me because I was ready for five days of petting and I won’t get any of those now. It’s fun there and I get peanut butter cookies because I’m so good and everyone says how pretty I am and sometimes people ask how much it would cost to buy me but I’m not for sale because I’m not a cookie, I’m a family member.
Did you guys get to go outside today in the sun? I didn’t because the people were away all day and I was locked up with Frankie and he is bossy. It’s going to be sunny tomorrow and that’s good but tomorrow is Sunday and I think I know what’s going to happen because it hasn’t happened for a long time. They are going to wash me and I don’t like to be washed.
I like talking to all my new friends in the computer but I thought to myself “K-who are these wieners?” Will you send me your picture? Mommy said she will put up the pics so we can all get to know each other minus the bum smelling.

Older lady seeks new friends
I’m feeling GREAT these days! Foster Mom took me to the dog doctor for a check in and he said I look marvelous! My skin is all better no sign of the “mange” and I got a pointy thing in my backside for bad dog disease and soon I will take a nap at the dog doctor and wake up without my little boy parts. I am so happy that all these nice people are taking good care of me and soon I will be in the box that Foster Mom likes to watch something called a TV? I will fill you in on that soon. Oh have you heard about this thing called sunshine? It is the BEST thing, next to food and toys and love!
A nose knows...
