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.

Our sweet Jazz crossed the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon, leaving a hole in our hearts and overwhelming sadness tonight for all the little ones that we don’t get to love on that are in her condition. Jazz was sweet and loving, I’m not sure her feet ever touched the ground once she arrived at the sanctuary as her happy place was in a lap and we were all happy to oblige. We did our best to erase as much of the bad as we could in the short time she was with us.
She was not with us long but touched us deeply and her memory will push us to continue to rescue others in her predicament Tonight I’m holding my furbabies close, I hope you are too and we thank you for the love and prayers you have poured out on our sweet Jazz. Run free sweet girl til we meet again 💔🌈 … See MoreSee Less
Our sweet Jazz – still with us, I’ve managed to get another small jar of baby food into her this morning. She’s being thoroughly loved and cuddled – heart on my heart so she knows how much she is loved. We talk to her all day long telling her how much she is loved and wanted ❤️ Thank you for all the prayers and words – please keep them coming! … See MoreSee Less
Update on Jazz- we are keeping her warm and cozy and comfortable. She has declined food today she has had some medication and was seen by her vet who also reviewed the emergency vet records from yesterday and concurred with her findings. We know it’s just a matter of time and we are loving on her as much as we possibly can to let her know how perfect we think she is. If anyone local wants to come and love on her before she goes please message me and we will arrange a cuddle … See MoreSee Less
Spencer Update- he is resting comfortably and being spoiled by his foster Momma ❤️❤️🩹 we are having our vets work up prices for his surgery so we can have a number to start fundraising! Stay tuned and please keep him in your prayers! … See MoreSee Less
🐾🐾UPDATE: Spencer’s hip is out of the socket- he will need surgery, he has a very shallow hip socket and it won’t hold his femoral head in place.
Jazz – this poor sweet girl can’t get a break. We believe she has infection in her lung, there are masses in lung and belly, looks like early heart failure, just a mess. We are doing what we can to make her feel better. ❤️🩹 ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Prayer warriors – I need you! On the way to urgent care with Jazz and Spencer – please pray hard … See MoreSee Less

Please welcome Jazz to Cindy Lou’s Sanctuary! This sweet sad little girl was pulled from Lauren’s, SC animal shelter where she was just not doing well. She is estimated to be 14 years old, is emaciated, can hardly walk, has almost no vision if any, and is as sweet as a frosted brownie! She will need so much love and vet care- she had basic shots at the shelter and is heartworm negative. We are already in love! ❤️❤️ … See MoreSee Less

One of our sweet friends lost her amazing furbaby Alex today, we are heartbroken for her and her family, he was the best boy. She would like to donate his Vetmedin, insulin syringes and prescription diabetic food.

A huge thanks to Lori Abel for rushing in to pull sweet Rolf from the Lexington shelter today for us, she was able to run him to our rescue vet at PetCare of Newberry to have the doc take a look! He’s got a lot going on – not only is he morbidly obese, he has both ears infected, skin issues, the big tumor, dental, and that’s just to get started! We have bloodwork coming back tomorrow and will know more. This boy is a heartthrob!!! ❤️ … See MoreSee Less
Rolf weighed in today at 28 pounds! The vet says he should be between 10 to 15 pounds!!! She wants a very strict diet and good exercise to start immediately – I will be posting a small wishlist with just a few needs for this sweet boy. He is a very friendly, happy boy. Rolf is 11 years old and his owner passed away. He has a long way to go to be healthy but we will start one step at a time! Thank you for helping him on his way! ❤️❤️ … See MoreSee Less
