Atticus was surrendered after spending most of his life with the same family. He was said to be 13 to 15 years old in January 2020 when he was surrendered just before the pandemic broke out. Atticus was with me so long because of the pandemic that he got very attached so, the director of the rescue asked if I would consider giving him a forever home as a permanent foster dog. It wasn't an easy de
cision because Atticus had severe anxiety and couldn't be left alone and would try to bite everyone other than me. In the end I said yes, because at least I knew his issues and knew how to handle them to keep him and others safe. I became his safe place and I couldnt take that away from him. it took almost a year but Atticus learned to trust others, learned my young granddaughter isnt a threat and learned that I was always going to come back if I leave the house. He also learned that having a dog friend is a good thing and quite calming. I had no idea Atti could become so sweet. He now has an emotional support friend, Nugget who is also from Dachshund Haus Rescue and Corgi Rescue and a foster failure. I couldn't take away a dog he bonded instantly with, a dog that calmed him. He has also become a better fur brother to Milo, another Dachshund Haus Rescue and Corgi Rescue baby. Atticus has proven that we can all change in unexpected ways if given a chance and with the time and love we need. He is the inspiration for this shop and all of the designs. Everything we will sell through this page will have a portion donated to Dachshund Haus and Corgi Rescue. Since rescue is obviously why Atticus is here today, 10% of all profits from Atti-Boy will go to Dachshund Haus Rescue.
