Six dogs. Zero understanding of why they’re still single.

Cassie, Oddy, Huey, Gazpacho, Lil Bit and Billy Bob have been waiting far too long for their adoption announcements. Frankly, they’d like to speak to the manager.

These long-term Tennessee Dachshund Rescue pups are ready for families of their own, and we’d love to retire them from the “still available” posts.

Can’t adopt? Play matchmaker and share. Your friends list might have somebody’s forever person.

Meet Dewey, almost 2 years old and about 25 pounds of “Are you gonna play with me or what?”

Dewey needs at least one playful dog buddy in his forever home. This is a requirement straight from management. He and his foster buddy Norm have been having a big time, and Liam has joined the fun, too. Without friends to entertain him, Dewey will submit complaints. Vocally. Repeatedly. Until someone addresses the situation.

But he does have an off switch! After a good play session, he’s happy to squeeze into the office chair behind his foster parent and take a nap. Apparently, personal space wasn’t covered in orientation.

He’s also starting to cuddle, so underneath that busy social calendar is a sweet boy who enjoys being close.

If your dog needs a best friend and you don’t mind occasionally sharing half your chair, Dewey is accepting applications!

A fenced yard is preferred so Dewey has room to get his zoomies out before clocking in for cuddle duty.

Dewey is being fostered in the Chattanooga area.

You can find the link to adopt Dewey or any of our other available dogs in the comments. 👇

Today is Día de Mu***os de la Mascota ( Day of the Dead for Pets)

Today, we remember the little souls who left us with empty beds, well-loved toys, and enough memories to last a lifetime.

The couch may have more room, but we’d give anything for it to be crowded again.

👇 Share a photo of the pet you’re remembering today and tell us something about them. Their funniest habit, their favorite thing, or what you miss most. Let’s fill these comments with the ones we’ll always love.

MEET GAZPACHO!! 💛

Gazpacho is about 20lbs. He is an active playful pup that loves running around outside and playing with toys. He loves his people, but can be fearful of strangers and meeting strange dogs. He just needs some time and patience to warm up.

Gazpacho has plenty of personality packed into one long little body.

This handsome guy is looking for a dachshund-savvy home that understands the breed's stubborn streak. Once he settles in, Gazpacho is convinced he's the king of the castle, and that his people belong exclusively to him. He'll need a confident owner who can set clear boundaries and remind him that he doesn't get to make the household rules.

The good news? Once Gazpacho understands the rules and realizes he isn't in charge, he's an incredibly loving little dog. He adores his people, lives for snuggles, and happily soaks up all the affection you're willing to give. In fact, he could very easily be spoiled. You'll just need to make sure he earns those privileges instead of demanding them!

Gazpacho is working on his house training and does well with consistency and a good routine.He walks nicely on a leash and harness, but he'd love a securely fenced yard where he can zoom around and patrol his kingdom.

Because he's still polishing up his manners and can be a bit bossy, Gazpacho is looking for an adult-only home with no children.

If you're experienced with dachshunds and appreciate a dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Gazpacho just might be your perfect match. Give him structure, consistency, and love, and you'll be rewarded with a loyal little shadow who will happily spend his days by your side, and curled up in your lap whenever possible.
