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.

❤️❤️ We’ve been working on the 5 little fluffies we took in last week, they’ve been so scared and sick it just breaks my heart. There are 4 girls and one boy. Today, the little boy, Bear, decided he need to leave the isolation room where they’ve been decompressing and join the main population for a little Sunday relaxing! He’s decided life is good here! Well done Bear! We’re so in love with you! ❤️❤️ … See MoreSee Less

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.Tiny Missy and sweet Archie are at the vet for emergency appointments! Archie is not feeling well at all and Missy had a big seizure. Last thing we needed right now is extra vet bills! If you can help we would appreciate it! ❤️🐾💔

Update! 💕💕🐾. All 5 saw the vet and there are a multitude of issues – but we will get them sorted! Our first vet bill was right at $800
To get them started! We appreciate everyone who has donated to get these sweet babies on their way to healthy ❤️❤️❤️
It’s a late night at the Sanctuary – we are reaching out to ask for your help! I went to Lexington SC to pick up a Chihuahua- and snagged some extra for the freedom ride. These 5 little fluffies all came into the shelter today with an owner surrender, owner has lost their home and is unable to care for them. They are all seniors – 11-12 years old and in rough shapeTammy Glee Smith to get to the vet asap- we are thinking ear infections for all of them, skin issues for all of them, most are matted to the skin and will need to be shaved down, toe nails horribly overgrown. Yall get the picture. Broke our hearts tonight. I’m so thankful for Tammy Glee Smith who brought in each one and gave them an anti fungal bath and loved on them while I fed the whole crew.
Can you help us with Vetting/grooming costs?? Any amount will help!!

It was 2 years ago today that my precious Cindy Lou lost her life. I relieve those last days over and over, but keep moving forward every day – saving small lives in her honor and will never let her memory die. She was a one in a million girl. Please take a moment today with me and remember all those babies who have passed and those we try so hard to save, hug your babies and tell them how much you love them 💕💕 … See MoreSee Less

We had an amazing day at Rescue Me on Saturday! We had 2 preapproved adopters come to meet their forever babies, raised $359 for the babies and have 7 applications we are processing! We have at least 1 new interested foster, and met so many wonderful dog people! I want to personally thank the amazing volunteers who staffed the day for us – Herb Watson, Tammy Smith, Laura Dutkiewicz, Maria Christina, Patty Strain – without each of you the day would not have been possible! Thanks also to our amazing donors – Susan Hogan, Jenn Bayer, Saundra Rebholz for providing basket donations and wreaths! And a very large thank you to Olivia Whitehurst for making the event happen! ❤️ … See MoreSee Less

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.❤️🩹❤️🐾Hello to Spencer – I got another plea from Berkely Animal Center today, “can you help?” Yes! We pulled this handsome man – fka Stumpy, now Spencer, who we knew needed a Rabies shot. Once I had my hands on him, I realized I needed to get him to the vet ASAP! We are so lucky that The Animal Hospital of North Charleston said yes to us and Dr Decker fit us in right away. Spencer got his rabies and his DHPP booster, he has a grade 3 heart murmur, both ears are infected, a large mass on his right side, his left shoulder goes every which way, his eyes are cloudy, his skin has flea dermatitis and he is missing all sorts of fur, he has lumps and bumps and growths all over – in other words – he’s a hot mess! His ears are cleaned and packed, he had a convenia shot, we got him started on a course of pred, doc aspirated the mass and it’s a fatty lipoma (yay!), we will start fungal baths tomorrow and work on trimming those toenails (he was having none of it tonight) but out of the shelter 4 hours and his bill is already just over $450 to get him started! Can you help him on his way to healthy? This sweet old man (they thought he was 7, our vet thinks more like 10-12) is very sweet and friendly and full of love and hope! Every dollar helps us help the little ones!

Just before Nugget was Ticker, now Dobby who traveled all the way to Florida with his new pawrents and is having a wonderful time! Our Sweet Daisy was adopted and is enjoying long walks with her new Daddy! Toby and Brutus who were in foster to adopt homes are both being adopted by their fosters who say they are “perfect”!
