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.
💸❤️🩹❤️🐾Spencer – our sweet boy! He is asking g for your help for a better new year! Spencer dislocated his hip and it turns out he needs FHO surgery to fix it. We are scheduled for January 8th and need to raise about $800 to cover his expenses for surgery and aftercare. Can you help give this sweet boy back his life? Thank you in advance! ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹

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

❤️❤️ 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! ❤️🐾💔

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!!
