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.
Sneezy is adopted! He’s now Bartlebee! And settling right into his new home! Happy life sweet boy! ❤️❤️❤️ … See MoreSee Less

The puppies and want to say a big thank you to the Volunteers who came out tonight and helped with our remembrance Day event by the time I’ve gotten through my day. I was so exhausted. I wasn’t sure I could hold my head up but thanks to Angie Davis, Paty Strain, Laura Dutkiewicz and Bonnie Denhay not only were the puppies taken care of, but they were a splash with all the folks that came out. They were well tended and lovingly taken care of. I appreciate each of you so much! … See MoreSee Less

Thought I’d take a minute out of a crazy Saturday to show you my heart and my passion – super seniors, old dogs, medical dogs, the ones no one ever seems to wat to adopt. This picture is of Bubba and Marie, Bubbas about 17 and lost his bonded mate at the beginning of the year. He’s so arthritic he can hardly walk some days, he has not teef, and loves to sleep in the laundry room next to the warmth of the dryer. Marie is 15 and blind. Her coat is like velvet, she loves to sleep in the sun – even when it’s way too hot outside to be safe for her to do that. Since Peaches passed away, she has comforted Bubba and frequently sleeps tucked into him – providing each other warmth and comfort. This is why I do what I do. ❤️❤️❤️ … See MoreSee Less

❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹We have 2 of our dogs at the vet today – brand new Lincoln and our sanctuary Roo and are looking at about $800 in vet bills for them. Can you help? It looks like Roo was bitten by some kind of bug while out in the yard yesterday and needs debridement and medication. Lincoln needs his leg x-rayed, and we don’t know what additional treatment yet- but he is feisty and will need sedation for that. His bill is already around $250 We would appreciate any help

Oh my gosh guys! Cuteness overload!!! Today Pilots for Paws flew in 7 puppies and a sweet Pom boy to us! The Pom boy we have named Lincoln – he has a sore foot and is only 5 years old- he is sweet and wants a person who he can be with all the time!!!
The 7 puppies came to us named for the 7 dwarves – so we are keeping that for now. They are 10 weeks and all about 6ish pounds. And cute beyond belief! There’s at least two that have 2 different eye colors and they are all gorgeous! There are 5 girls and 2 boys, they’ve have their first shots, been treated for fleas and hookworms and are happy little babies! We will get everyone to the vet, and will immediately start taking adoption and/or foster applications!
I’ve also made a wishlist for them (we have no puppy toys! Yikes!) I will get pictures posted of each of the puppies tomorrow- with their names and all! If you’d like to help with vet bills you can Venmo @Jant-Chicka PayPal: Donations@CindyLousSanctuary.org, or call our vet directly and make a donation to our account – Animal Hospital of North Charleston: (843) 552-8278

Update on our two very sick girls – Lucy is settled into her new temp foster and is doing well, eating, taking her meds, spent some time out in the sun today! She has started meds for her collapsing trachea and they seem to be helping
Ruby is also finally showing improvement! She has begun eating and is taking her meds! Ruby has even been playing with some new toys! We are thrilled. We are so thankful to Heather, Jennifer and Josie for the love and care they are lavishing on these little girls! … See MoreSee Less

FOSTERS!!!!! Help! There are 7! (Yes, 7) 10 week old puppies at one of my partner shelters in desperate need of freedom – they have shots and are basically healthy. I need fosters who can help save these tiny babies – all are right around 6 pounds at 10 weeks old. They were brought in by a homeless gentleman who could not care for them and wanted them to have a chance! I’d like them to go in pairs – or if you could take an older dog to foster and free up space at the sanctuary that would be great too! Pilots for Paws will fly them here on Monday so there’s not much time to figure it out – CAN YOU HELP SAVE A TINY LIFE?! … See MoreSee Less

Do you have a nebulizer you dont need in working condition??????
Saturday morning and Ruby and I are back at the vet again! She is still very sick, X-rays show slight improvement to her pneumonia but not enough. We are adding another antibiotic. She would benefit from nebulizer treatments but we don’t own one. If anyone has a unit we could borrow or that you’d like to donate – please reach out!

Today Cinnamon is not feeling well and we ended up at our favorite vet The Animal Hospital of North Charleston to see the wonderful Dr Ingram! Sweet Momma has gastroenteritis and we need to be careful of what medicine we give her because she is still feeding sweet little Olivia! We have a plan, she got some IV fluids and is resting comfortably at home, Dr I also checked out baby O who has lost a few tenths of an ounce over the last 3 days, probably because mommas not feeling great. I will be helping supplement her diet just a bit to keep her on track til Cinnamon is feeling better. We’re so grateful to the team at Animal Hospital of North Charleston! They also fit in a quick visit for our Spencer who hurt his foot, but is doing great! … See MoreSee Less

National dog day! I need to get caught up on intakes – it’s been so busy. Last week we took in two very sick dogs- first, Lucy – a tiny 10 year old Chi mix from Charleston Animal Society Berkeley. This poor baby is very sick – kennel cough, heart murmur, possible ruptured glaucoma, floating patella, collapsing trachea, oh what a list! Thanks to Friends of Berkeley County Animal Center and The Animal Hospital of North Charleston we were able to get her started on meds for the kennel cough and she is currently eating and doing better, decompressing in a foster who can isolate. The second dog came from Dekalb, Georgia, a shelter we partner with frequently. Little Ruby, Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease, not eating x a week or more, only 2 years old and tiny! Cute as a button. Again, thanks to the good team at The Animal Hospital of North Charleston she has been seen and is on appropriate medication. She is also with a short term isolating foster who has finally gotten her to start eating! … See MoreSee Less
What a difference a year makes! Little Sissy, a year ago we made a run to pull her as a hospice dog, she was a mess, I syringe fed her through a broken jaw, and didn’t think she’d live the weekend. Well, one year later she’s adopted, beautiful, full of personality and love! Thanks to everyone who helped with this girl and especially Robin A Fox who fostered and fell in love, then adopted her! ❤️❤️❤️ … See MoreSee Less
