Our beloved Cindy Lou, who lost her battle to live way too soon
The backyard of the sanctuary
Named in honor of our beloved Cindy Lou, the mission of Cindy Lou’s Sanctuary is to rescue and provide sanctuary as a loving and safe home for Dachshunds and other small breeds.
When possible we arrange adoptions to forever homes, but we are always committed to each one’s lifelong emotional and physical care.

Fosters Needed!!! I have requests to bring in 9 new small dogs from shelter and rescue partners. Some of these dogs are sitting in high risk situations. I have no more space. I need some local fosters who would be willing to help out!
You need to be located in the Charleston area so we can have the dogs taken to our local vet and so they can come to rescue events and meet and greets.
We supply everything you need – you just need to have the time and heart to love them and open your home to them!
Interested? Please send a PM! … See MoreSee Less

Yesterday was a heck of a day – we had 3 sweet babies join us at Cindy Lou’s- two from Lexington- Kevin the Chihuahua and Chimp the Wheaton – they are 18ish and have some awful skin issues among other things. And then Ronnie from Georgia who had a badly broken leg and his owner never took him to a vet and then dumped him at a shelter. Ronnie needs to have that leg amputated and a neuter – he is one of the most social, happy boys I’ve seen! We are happy to welcome all 3 to our sanctuary! … See MoreSee Less
We are so fortunate to have Tina at The Art of Dog Grooming by Tina to help make our babies beautiful! Thank you so much for transforming Millie! ❤️❤️ … See MoreSee Less

Sadly Bubba and I have to tell you that our sweet Princess Peach has gone across the rainbow bridge this evening. She was held and loved as she passed by her bonded mate and myself. Her sweet old body was shutting down and just couldn’t go on. She told us it was time. Bubba and I weren’t ready but we couldn’t watch her suffer, so we kissed her and held her and told her we
would see her again across the rainbow bridge. We love you sweet Peach Fly free
Extra thanks to Dr D and the staff at The Animal Hospital of North Charleston for their kindness and caring, you help make the unbearable less so. … See MoreSee Less

Our little Bugg is settling in so nicely! This girl is super sweet, she’s been seen by our vet at The Animal Hospital of North Charleston and by Dr Hannah at Charleston Animal Eye Specialists.

For everyone who’s been asking! Here’s an update on Rolf – he’s down to 18.6 pounds and counting! He is moving around so much better- he even has a happy little jump he’s started trying out when I get home! He likes being out with the rest of the gang on a nice warm sunny day and his fur is starting to grow in a bit on his back. I just got a new bloodwork panel on him back and everything is within normal parameters – so he’s doing great! We are getting g closer to him being able to have surgery for the large tumor on his chest … See MoreSee Less

💕💕 Well we did it! Yesterday we took a pile of puppers from Moncks Corner to our friends at PetCare of Newberry for a pile of surgeries! Oliver, Roxie and Bella had their neuter/spays, Bella also had a huge dental and lost all her awful teefers! Roxie had massive tumors removed from her girlie bits and Sophia had multiple mammary tumors removed. All the dogs are home, resting and healing – please send big prayers for quick recoveries – thank you to everyone who donated towards their surgeries – we could not have done it without each and every one of you! ❤️🩹❤️🩹 … See MoreSee Less
