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 Louβs 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 oneβs lifelong emotional and physical care.
Whatβs your idea of a perfect Saturday night? Hereβs mine – a picture is worth a thousand words! ππΎ … See MoreSee Less

HELP!!! I need a long term foster or foster to adopt for Oscar – a 26ish pound dachshund/labrador mix (we believe). He is 2 years old and very person oriented. He is good with other dogs in the home large and small – would like to be alpha but is not in his current foster. His foster is moving and must find new spot for him right away. Can anyone help? … See MoreSee Less
29 Days. Thatβs all we had. It took maybe 29 seconds to fall in love with Dakota, a sweet 16 year old. This morning as he lay in my arms he took his last breath and went to run free and painless across the rainbow bridge. He was sweet and full of kisses, he could hardly walk, his body was so full of arthritis, and all the treatment and meds didnβt really change that. Sunday he began sounding wheezy and Monday we confirmed he had pneumonia and started immediate treatment. But Dakota was ready, ready to run and play, ready to shed his earthly pains. He went so peacefully, at home being loved just one breath and the no more. I wanted more – more time, more kisses, just more. But I treasure the 29 days I had I want to send a big thank you to Lori Abel for making his rescue happen, for transporting and loving him … See MoreSee Less
