video- JellyBean and Cinder 1st time in grass

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OXqkBNX_rM&feature=youtu.be

JellyBean was rescued with April, Dixie, Shy, Tater and Cinder from a puppy mill near  Waco Texas.  Despite never having been shown any human kindness or been loved, JellyBean is surprisingly loving. She is STARVED for affection. She loves to lick your hands over and over. I think she is looking for food.  JellyBean is learning to give kisses and that she is not going to be hurt when you try to pick her up. She is very shy and mostly mellow.  She needs someone who is going to be very patient with her to bring her out of her shell.

Before coming to rescue she had no training at all.  She is a quick learner. She is doing fabulous on her potty training and loves to get her Liver snap treat each time she goes in the yard. Amazingly she has not had any accidents in the house or her crate. Somehow she must know that she is in a safe place that is clean and smells nice and she likes it that way.

She is a real looker also – one of her eyes is half blue and it just makes her look stunning when she gives you that “look” with her beautiful puppy eyes that say PLEASE LOVE ME SO I CAN LOVE YOU BACK.

She does however get startled easily if you move too fast or make a loud noise. She is learning to walk on a leash. She loves to cuddle on the big bed with her foster sister and brothers. She has no food aggression typical of puppymill dogs.

JellyBean also lives with 3 cats- she could care less about them.  She doesn't bark at or chase them at all, they are just one big happy family. She isn't much of a barker at all. She needs a fenced yard with lots of grass to roll in and someone that will take her for walks and be the beautiful lady she was meant to be.

As she is so shy, we feel that Jellybean would do best in a more quiet household without a lot of traffic and no young children under the age of 10. She would be happy being the only dog or with another one as well.

JellyBean, April, Dixie, Shy, Tater and Cinder were all confiscated from a cruelty hoarder case  due to inadequate housing. They had lived in deplorable conditions,  they were in wire cage runs just on the ground in the dirt. There was no shelter, they didn't get any relief from the rain or the sun they lived in the mud and in their own feces and urine all over the place. There were a total of 78 dogs confiscated from the hoarder breeder.

Imagine living in the dirt, getting food when it was convenient for the breeder, sleeping in the mud, flies in your eyes all the time, covered with ticks and fleas, no shelter from the blazing hot sun, no walls or a roof to keep out the cold and the rain. Imagine not knowing that being afraid of being hit and hungry, cold and tired is NOT a way of life. This was the only life they ever knew................... 

But they are safe and warm now and can learn to be pets instead of breeding machines. There have been so many firsts for them since they were rescued..  the first time in the grass  (like Cinder and Jellybean in the video) the first time they got to snuggle in a dog bed, play with a toy, get up on the big bed, be pet and loved on.

Please help us to help them and so many poor sweet dachshunds that are waiting to die in the shelters and be rescued from Puppy mills. Sweet brown eyed creatures that have never had a kind word a soft human touch a warm bed or a nice word said to them.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast or up and down the West Coast. We just can't get them from one Coast to the other but some day we hope to have enough volunteers to do that as well for now please look for dogs on your coast.

AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund's back or get bitten.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast and mid-west. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. For now, please look for dogs on your coast.
