Dachshund Idaho Rescue

This is Nymeria and she's going to be very hard for me to part with. This cat is my soul mate. I have to have visitation rights lol. This cat sleeps on my chest every night. If I'm in the house this cat is by my side. She is my baby. She weighs maybe 5 or 6 pounds. She is tiny. She just stayed small and never grew up. She is cuddly and sweet. If she loves you she loves you. Period. She is also polydactal and has huge feet because of the extra toes. She has one bad habit. She poops in dirty clothes if they stay on the floor. It only started after we brought our 4th cat home and I suspect it's got something to do with dominance. I'm not sure it would keep happening in a new home. I also think the habit could easily be broken by someone with more time to work with her. I work a lot and some weeks am only home to sleep. I make her wear diapers when I catch her trying.

George is about 8 or 9 but he's healthy and full of energy! He needs someone to play with and go on walks/runs. He would do great with a teenager! He's a strong chewer who loves his yak chews. He can't be trusted with most toys as they are destroyed in 2 seconds but he gets a super chewer bark box every month that I'd like to continue for him. He is n escape artist who shoots out the front door if you are not careful. He loves the outdoors and is a horrible digger. I've tried everything to break him of that but I've excepted I just have to fill in holes. He has a strong prey drive but is good with cats and dogs. If you are a gopher, rabbit, or bird on the other hand good luck. He also has a big problem holding his licker and goes straight for ears every time. He's a perfect family dog.

If you've been here foe a couple years you know Molly's story. She came to us as a pregnant mama needing love and support and she needs that again. It breaks my heart to let this girl go! She's about 4 or 5 we think. She need a quieter place to go but she's a lover when she chooses you. She is supposed to be my dog but spend most of her time with my dad. She like her alone time too and goes under the bed when she needs space. She will go out of her way to convince you she is starving and never lost her baby weight. She loves treats and knows several tricks to earn them. I'm sure with time she'd learn even more. She is sweet and calm most of the time, but not a huge fan of strangers.

Pipsqueek, on the right, is almost 5 and looking for a new home. She is a stereotypical cat in that no place is too high to climb. She get onto the tops of the doors and just stares at you. She is also only affectionate on her terms. She isn't the type to cuddle you or want to be carried around.

This is Twitch our 7 year old male cat looking for a home. He's a big boy at almost 16 pounds. Part Maine C**n he's a fluffy boy. He has bad teeth unfortunately and is missing his front ones so his tongue hangs out making him look ridiculously cute!

Looks like we are going to have to find homes for some of our animals. Rentals are few and far between in our area and no one seems willing to take the whole Menagerie we come with. My heart is broken to think our babies can't stay with us. I wish mom were here.

I have some really sad news to share this evening. Many of you know that Doc was getting spayed today. Unfortunately something went wrong. After surgery she suffered a seizure. Her little body could not take it and she crossed the rainbow bridge today. We are devestated. I don't have many details right now. We know how much you all cared for our dwarfs.
