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.
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
UPDATE: transport arranged!
anyone close to Laurens, SC? I need to arrange a tiny dog pick up! … See MoreSee Less
UPDATE: we have found a place for these supplies – thank you! 💕

Run free sweet Alex! You and Starr will meet again at the rainbow bridge ❤️🐾🌈💔 … 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!!

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
