Dearest Ivy, AADR and your adopter mom are so sorry we could not save your battered soul from past abuses. Run free little one ... no longer trapped in your crippled body and the demons in your mind.

Lucy Mae Todd
I adopted Lucy (formerly Puppers) from Southern States Dachshund Rescue, now All American Dachshund Rescue, in 2007, when she was 18 months of age. She and I instantly bonded and on the ride home, she climbed out of her seat into my lap to snuggle. She was funny, smart, beautiful and especially loving. She loved her toys, and would frequently give them extra shakes or extra squeaks. I loved her dearly, and my mother was most likely accurate when she said I was Lucy’s favorite person in the whole world. She and my sister were my favorites. Except for a few issues early on, Lucy had good health. She last had her teeth cleaned in March 2020, had no decay and no infection, which was good, because Lucy was a “grinner”, and every time she saw someone she loved, she flashed those beautiful teeth in a big smile. That made my homecoming from any event special, because I knew she would give me that huge grin. In October 2020, my sister passed away unexpectedly. Lucy sensed how distraught I was, and would not leave my side. Had I not had Lucy, I don’t know how I could have handled such a huge loss. Sadly, in late spring 2021, Lucy quit smiling. I found a large ulcerated bleeding tumor on her left lower leg about that time. Because she was already over 15, and there was no margin for removal of the tumor, surgery would not have helped, except for amputation, if it had not spread. At her age, she most likely would not have made it during surgery. Lucy passed away peacefully in my arms at 2:33 pm on August 24, 2021. I know she loved me, and she knew she was loved. Thank you, AADR, for introducing this beautiful sweet girl to me, and for allowing her to be a part of my life and family all these years. - Laura Todd

Rosie RIP
Be with Mary Rosie she was your girl then and now

Clyde aka Oscar July 9, 2021
Oscar was a good companion. He loved and was loved by everyone - family, neighbors. He kept me moving, reminding me to take him for walks, by staring at me and following me around until I gave in. He did have his bad habits. He felt that anything that hit the ground was his to eat. When I finished a new puzzle, I was short five pieces at the end. My grandchildren called him "Oscar the goat". I did want you to know. He will be much missed by all. Beth H.

Lucy & Lincoln Colson
Our Lucyboots, (Red) Queen of the pillow mountain, sassy perpetual 13 year old has made her way over the Rainbow Bridge. Lucy was rescued from Kenton County Shelter - Almost 17 years of love and big personality is hard to say goodbye to. Thank you Luce for getting me through most of my adult life. You were (are) so loved. I will miss your silky ears, and your give-no-shits attitude. It is something I should try and emulate. Thank you sweet girl. Lincoln (Black and Tan) came into our lives as a curious young man 4 years ago. He explored, patrolled, and helped to balance the sense of order around our house. Lincoln was adopted into our family after having been fostered by All American Dachshund Rescue (AADR). They informed us that his previous parents had passed away. Because he was the only male dog in a (now) 3 dog household, he aligned well with Michael (dad) and was often referred to as “Mr. Buddy” or “Mr. Buddy Pants”. Lincoln’s favorite place in the world was cuddled up next to you under a blanket. We came to call his blanket; his woobie. And in the later years we created a special place for him in the kitchen, underneath the built-in desk, called “his woobie”. While only our 2nd L (of three “L” doxies) and our first male Dachshund, Lincoln has made a huge impact on our lives. Thank you to the AADR team for allowing him to be a part of our lives. We love you Lincoln, Mr. Buddy Pants, and hope that you reunite with your family and Lucy across the Rainbow Bridge.
