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.
A year ago today one of our very special honorary dachshunds was adopted! Sending out a super special thank you to Cait and Anthony Ditrio for being amazing Snoopy fosters! We know he’s living his best life thanks to you! … See MoreSee Less

We need to catch up some happy tails!! I’m missing some pictures but will share some here! First up – All of Candi’s puppies have been adopted – the last to go was Nugget – who was waiting for just the perfect family to come along! 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”! Our sweet Wee Willy has gone to a foster to adopt and is snuggling in just fine so far. Happy lives to all our sweet babies and their families – we always look forward to pictures and stories! … See MoreSee Less

Thank you for all that you do for the animals that you pull from Berkeley Animal Center.

🐾❤️😎Happy Labor Day everyone! A little Summer Sunning here before it gets too hot today! Have a safe and happy day!🐾❤️😎 … See MoreSee Less
Sissy Update – our girl has made it through the night, seems to be feeling less pain today but still not eating her slurry. She was licking at the slurry but not actually taking any, so I’ve given her some water via syringe (per vet instructions) which she took fine and then a bit of syringed slurry just on the front of her tongue and she lapped it up. So far so good. She was out in the sunshine early this morning with the gang before it got hot, and has been resting either in her little cozy bed or on a lap getting lots of love all day. We appreciate all the prayers and support! … See MoreSee Less
Here’s our Sissy riding home in the sunshine on a super soft blankie after spending the whole afternoon getting checked out at Animal Medical Clinic of Goose Creek. Big thanks to Dr Renden who really listened to our concerns, thoroughly checked out Sissy, figured out the issues and came up with several plans.
Sissy is resting right now, she has not eaten yet, but we are hopeful that once her pain settles down she will. She licked the air above the bowl of slurry and we put some on her tongue but she wasn’t interested in actually sipping any yet. Our vet bills are already climbing with her – so far her two vet visits have totaled $610.80. We would be glad of any help – you can donate through Venmo, PayPal or Facebook button below

UPDATE!! Thank you all for the prayers – the news is not great – Sissy has a pathological jaw fracture – she only has 3 teeth and the bottom molar is abcessed and the infection has eaten away jawbone- causing a pathological fracture right where that tooth is. It’s extremely painful. Her X-rays show both upper and lower jaws are deteriorating badly. We are consulting with the dental specialist Dr Qweck to see what if anything can be done. For now, we are working on getting rid of the infection and controlling pain and will be working on getting her to eat slurry food. We’ve gotten her iv fluids and meds to help her feel better right away!
Asking for prayers for Sissy today- we are going back to the vet – she has pain in her neck, drooling, didn’t eat breakfast, threw up and is shivering. They are working us in. ❤️🙏🐾 … See MoreSee Less

❤️🐾🙏😥❤️ We made a quick rescue run today to save a life. Shelter report summary said – rescue pull or euthanize. I’d like to introduce Sissy! 10 pounds, 17 yo Shih Tzu who is in really rough shape. She is going for a full vet workup tomorrow, but she has cataracts, about 3 teeth, horrible skin, heart murmur, funky ears, bumps all over, and that’s just first glance. She’s had a fu gal bath, I trimmed several inches of fur off her feet and trimmed some of the length from her nails so she can at least walk. Can you help?? I we could use vetting donations!

UODATE – just heard from the owner – Milo has found a new home!
Hi all- this boy is in need of a new home – quickly!!! He’s a baby- only 16 Months old. Neutered and up to date on shots.
Milo is a super sweet boy and loves to snuggle. He is definitely a people person. But he also has separation anxiety. I have been giving him trazodone while I am working, but he would probably be best in a home where someone is there the majority of the time. He would also do best in a home where he is the only animal, and where there are no small children as he often fails to realize how big he is. He loves to play fetch but often prefers to keep the ball and get you to chase him. He is a heavy chewer so having lots of options for him will save you. He is housebroken and will go to the door and bark when he needs to go out. But he also likes to lay outside and sunbathe or watch the world go by. He knows "sit" but we have not been able to master stay or come just yet. … See MoreSee Less
UPDATE- this lovely dog is Home and Safe!!!! Thanks to all!!
Local Cane Bay friends – please keep an eye out for this sweet baby!!

Why do we do what we do? Take a look at Mandi- one of our sweet 7 – first picture is what she did when she first came in – hid under the pile always! Lots of love, socialization and work later- she is Adopted, Loved and learning to be completely cherished! She still has a long way to go but Mom and Dad say she is walking on a leash, going out to Petsmart, learning new commands, loving treats and learning about cuddling in the softest blanket ever!

💔💔This evening I have some very sad news to share. Our sweet Dash laid down for a nap just after noon today and crossed the rainbow bridge, leaving us broken hearted.
Dash came to us a year ago with his bonded mate, Marley Mae, who was already dying of a large malignant cancer. Dash has been grieving for her ever since she left us and we know they are reunited and running free and healthy once again tonight. We loved him so very much, he was particular about who he let give him butt scratches, and it was such a treat when he let you pick him up for some lovin.
Run free sweet Dash til we meet again. ❤️🐾🌈💔 … See MoreSee Less

🙏DONATIONS NEEDED PLEASE 🙏🏻
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.
You can donate through PayPal or Venmo or by clicking the donate button on my post.

Getting our rescue dogs healthy is expensive, but so worth it, and we truly need your help to be able to do that.🙏🏻
Thank you ♥️ … See MoreSee Less
