Cindy Lou's Sanctuary – Cindy Lou's Sanctuary

Cindy Lou, a small female Dachshund with a brown coat and the beloved namesake of the sanctuary, who lost her battle to live far too soon.

The large tree in backyard of 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.

Ok, all my dachshund lovers …
I really could use your help 🐾💓

THIS FUNDRAISER IS FOR SIMON 🐶

Sanctuary Simon is a senior dachshund estimated to be around 12-15 years old.
Get your tissues out 😪because he’s got a heartbreaking story. ❤️‍🩹

Simon and two other large-breed dogs were dumped at a groomer in Georgia.
The groomer contacted a local rescuer, who in turn contacted Cindy Lou’s Legacy Sanctuary to see if we could help.
And, of course, we couldn’t say no to this sweet soul.🥹

This boy deserved so much better than life has offered him so far.
He was emaciated with rotten teeth, infected ears, and a bladder infection. His initial bloodwork was so out of normal reference range that the vet felt he would be a hospice dog.
He has since gotten a very extensive dental with fistula repair, been put on thyroid medication, and been treated for a UTI & a pretty nasty ear infection that persisted despite treatment. He has been really struggling with constant urination, and his repeat bloodwork trended towards him having a possible Cushing’s diagnosis.
On Wednesday, he went to the veterinarian for all-day testing, which confirmed that he had been diagnosed with Cushing’s disease.
Simon will need a repeat of his test with blood draws and has been put on 10 mg of Vetoryl to start.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Cushing’s disease:
(hyperadrenocorticism) is a serious health condition in dogs that occurs when the adrenal glands overproduce cortisol (cortisone) in the animal’s body. Excess cortisol can put a dog at risk of several serious conditions and illnesses, from kidney damage to diabetes, and can be life-threatening.

Simon has made his way to Keri and Jim as long-term sanctuary fosters through our rescue. He’s now part of a loving home where nobody will ever dump him like trash 😭🗑or give up on him.
He now has a family to love and cherish him for whatever time he has left in his life. We want to make his golden years filled with love and care, and this is where you come in. 🙏🤝
You can help by making a donation towards Simon’s ongoing testing for Cushing’s and medication.
We want him to have a quality of life and no longer suffer with his health in the last part of his life. Something his previous owners so obviously didn’t provide before he was abandoned him and he came into the care of our rescue 🛟🫶🐾

Cindy Lou’s Legacy Sanctuary and his foster parents have stepped up to offer this wonderfully sweet boy a home filled with lots of TLC, and we are hoping that you are willing to be part of his happy ending, which means getting him healthy. ❤️‍🩹

So we really need your help to fundraise for his medical expenses.
Absolutely NO amount is too small for a donation.
If you can’t afford to make a donation at this time, please share this post with someone who might be able to help.
