Every year many dogs are turned into rescue for a number of reasons. Some are owner turn-in, young
ones and senior dogs, some are from shelters, some come from back yard breeders who are relinquishing
their breeding stock and some are from abuse cases. CCDR will always be there for these dogs regardless
of their background or their circumstances.
CCDR is fortunate to place most of our dogs into new homes but there will always be those that have to
stay in long term foster care because of their age or their health. Some dogs, such as Petey, come in as an
abuse case, stay in foster care while recuperating and then are successfully adopted out to a wonderful
new home. Petey underwent medical treatment and much deserved attention while recuperating and
gaining weight and was one of our buddy dogs. He thrived in foster care and through the buddy pages his
new owners kept up with his progress, just waiting for the day they could bring him home. Other dogs
are not as lucky and because they are older, are not as desirable and therefore stay in foster care for the
rest of their life. CCDR has a buddy program where visitors can look at the dogs in long term foster care
and decide if they’d like to be a buddy to that dog while in the care of CCDR. Some of the dogs listed
are Ross, Southern Belle, Heidi, Daisy, Sam, Tillie T and Granny. You can visit them on the CCDR site,
www.c2cdr.org, under “Buddy Dogs.”
CCDR also has a senior program where we have the wonderful laid back dogs that are older and are
adoptable. One shouldn’t overlook adopting a senior. They are the best dogs who are calm, quiet and
very devoted and are “move in ready.” For those who think they’re going to have a shorter experience
with an older dog, don’t let these dachshunds fool you! Some have a very long lifespan and will give you
years of pleasure to come.
Visit our senior center on the site, adopt a senior or sponsor a senior. You will not regret it.

Letter from the President
The summer months have quickly come upon us again and for those of us in the
south, the thought of hurricanes are at the top of our thoughts. We’ve already had
our first drill and can only hope all will be spared from the wrath of hurricanes that
many of us have experienced in the past couple
of years. Hurricane preparedness, just like any
other natural disaster, forces us to look at how
we’d manage a house full of dogs and pets in an
emergency. Make a plan, make a list and have
your supplies ready to grab. We’ve compiled a
list of needed supplies and equipment that
should be gathered and kept in a place for easy
access should you have to evacuate. Check local authorities ahead of time for shelters that will allow pets before the season revs up
and before the storms hit. Having yourself organized will take pressure off of you
when that announcement comes that a storm is headed your way. Here are two websites that list pet friendly motels and places to visit. www.dogfriendly.com and
www.petswelcome.com
The month of June was very hard on CCDR financially. We spent $4000.00 more in
vetting than we took in for adoptions. The summer months are slow for adoptions so
we have to do more fundraising and get more creative when it comes to finding
money. We are always amazed at our donors and their generosity though. We have
some donors who repeatedly send in donations and it always touches me that these
people care so much about helping. Sincere thanks are just not strong enough words
to express our gratitude! Thank you for your kindness!

I am an Animal Rescuer
My job is to assist God's creatures
I was born with the need to fulfill their needs
I take in new family members without plan, thought or selection
I have bought dog food with my last dime
I have patted a mangy head with a bare hand
I have hugged someone vicious and afraid
I have fallen in love a thousand times
and I have cried into the fur of a lifeless body
I have Animal Friends and friends who have animal friends
I don't often use the word "pet"
I notice those lost at the road side
And my heart aches
I will hand raise a field mouse
And make friends with a vulture
I know of no creature unworthy of my time
I want to live forever if there aren't animals in Heaven
But I believe there are
Why would God make something so perfect and leave it behind
We may be master of the animals,
But the animals have mastered themselves
Something people still haven't learned
War and Abuse makes me hurt for the world
But a rescue that makes the news gives me hope for mankind
We are a quiet but determined army
And making a difference ever day
There is nothing more necessary than warming an orphan
nothing more rewarding than saving a life
No higher recognition than watching them thrive
There is no greater joy than seeing a baby play
who only days ago, was too weak to eat
I am an Animal Rescuer
My work is never done,
My home is never quiet
My wallet is always empty
But my heart is always full
In the game of life, we have already won

Contact hotels and motels outside your immediate area to check policies on accepting pets and restrictions on number, size, and species. Ask if "no pet" policies could be waived in an emergency. Keep a list of "pet friendly" places,
including phone numbers, with other disaster information and supplies. If you have notice of an impending disaster,
call ahead for reservations. Two websites to check are: www.dogfriendly.com and www.petswelcome.com
•
Ask friends, relatives, or others outside the affected area whether they could shelter your animals. If you have more
than one pet, they may be more comfortable if kept together, but be prepared to house them separately.
•
Prepare a list of boarding facilities and veterinarians who could shelter animals in an emergency; include 24-hour
phone numbers.
•
Ask local animal shelters if they provide emergency shelter or foster care for pets in a disaster. Animal shelters may
be overburdened caring for the animals they already have as well as those displaced by a disaster, so this should be
your last resort.

A Rescue Story
Cocoa Puff
By Cheryl & Jim Dexter
We met Cocoa Puff in the small house in Delaware where he had lived for almost all
of his 13 years. He had watched the young children of the household grow up and
move out on their own. Now he spent most of his time sleeping in his doggie bed in
the living room. A bowl full of food was always out in the kitchen so he was never
hungry. Not an exciting life, perhaps, but not a bad life for an old dog either. But
now Ed, whom he loved and trusted and who had brought him to this house as a
puppy so many years ago, had a new girlfriend and was planning to get new carpets.
At 13 Cocoa Puff had the occasional accident so, with new carpets on order, the owner decided the old dog had to go and called
CCDR.
When Cocoa Puff arrived at his foster home the three Dachshunds, the two Yorkshire Terriers and the Border Collie all greeted
him with great excitement – quite an experience for a little guy who had lived his first 13 years in a one-dog household. But, he
fit right in with the group – quickly learning that nibbling a little dinner and then leaving the rest for later just doesn’t work in a
seven-dog household!
About two weeks after he arrived, Cocoa Puff’s breathing became very labored. The veterinarians gave him little chance of survival. But, after a few near brushes with death, he surprised everyone by responding to the treatment that we were told would
probably kill him but was the last thing that might work.
After he came home, we completed the adoption form and his foster home became his forever home. He was one of those special
dogs who is loved by everyone who meets him. When he was boarded in a 24-hour facility for a weekend, the night-shift attendant moved his bed out to the reception desk so he could keep her company.
But, like many good things, our time with Cocoa Puff was all too brief. Eleven months after we first met him, he had to leave us
for the bridge on January 3. He leaves a hole in our household and our hearts that will never be filled.
The gifts and fundraising items we sell

Vinegar
Did you know vinegar was good for many things? Try this
for a very inexpensive, yet effective air freshener.
Mix:
2 cups water
1 tbsp vinegar
1tsp baking soda
Put into a spray bottle and use where you need to eliminate
odor. It does not have a smell but will grab the bad smell
and zap it out.

Health Article - Castration incontinence by Joyce Fletcher
Question: Do males who have been altered ever show signs of incontinence?
I've spoken and/or corresponded with multiple veterinarians and technicians, and consulted two veterinary discussion groups
over the past couple of days. Cumulatively, we're talking maybe hundreds of years of experience. While it is physiologically
possible for a male dog to experience urinary incontinence post castration, no one I've spoken to or heard from has ever seen a
case of it, nor could I find any documented cases. Not to say there aren't a few out there somewhere. What everyone *does*
see are periodic cases of spay incontinence in females.
In both the male and female the estrogen or testosterone produced by the testicles or ovaries help provide tone to the urinary
sphincters. The adrenal glands also produce sex hormones and continue to do so in the absence of either testicles or ovaries.
Should the adrenals fail to produce enough sex hormone to provide adequate support to the sphincters, then incontinence can
occur. Due to the anatomical differences (sphincter placement and urinary tract design) between males and females, it is far
more common for females to experience urinary incontinence than males.
It is far more common to see urinary incontinence in intact (un-neutered) males as a result of various prostatic disorders, or
treatment for prostatic disease. Bowel incontinence occurs fairly regularly in intact males due to perineal hernias or following
repair of same; or after removal of testoserone-related perianal adenomas.
All concurred that unless a dog is going to be used for breeding, or is in such poor health that anesthesia is contraindicated,
castration is recommended to prevent hormone related cancers and other issues. The risk of those is far greater than the risk of
castration related urinary incontinence.

Meet the Members
Judy Wade
It all started with Oscar. Oscar was my first dachshund who I got
when he was 9 weeks old. It was love at first sight back in 1991 when
I fell in love with the breed. I didn't know much about the breed, not
even that they had issues with their backs but began to get an education about dachshunds in 1995 when I bought Sweet Pea, my second
dachshund. I was totally green having lived with Dobermans for 25
years and when I first got Oscar I thought the name of the breed was
pronounced “dashhound.” LOL!
The internet expanded my horizons and there I met other doxie lovers
where I joined a doxie friendly list and began to understand the need
for rescue. In 1995 I placed my first rescue, Spirit, with a family in
Indiana. For about a year I did independent rescue and found that if I
Judy with Precious, Oscar, Flower and Sweet Pea
continued at the pace I was heading I would go bankrupt so in 1996
six of us who were doing independent rescue across the U.S. put our resources together to form one of the first nationwide
dachshund rescue organizations. During those early days/years there weren't many people involved with rescue. It was all
word of mouth. At the time I was the only representative for New England, New York, Maryland, Delaware, and the east
coast so I stayed quite busy. I was working full-time as an administrative assistant at University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth,
plus putting in endless hours at home with rescue. Weekends were spent transporting dogs to their new forever home or traveling over 3,000 miles round-trip to bring back rescues, plus doing paperwork.
As the internet expanded so did the need for more volunteers to help with the overwhelming amount of dogs that needed
homes. As time went on I began to receive offers of help with transports or fostering and that is how it all began. During my
years with rescue I placed 408 dachshunds, traveled thousands of miles to rescue them from bad situations and did several major rescues with my best friend, Judy Mosteiro. We have had as many as 21 dogs in crates in my van as we traveled the nation.
In 2000 I was one of the founding members of Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue and continued to do rescue while working a
full time job. In 2002 I retired from the university and moved to Port Charlotte FL where I may have retired from work, but
not rescue. Though I am not as active as I once was, my heart will always be to help find a home for one of our beloved breed.
Nothing makes my heart swell more than when I receive a photo or note from the family of one of my rescues to let me know
that he or she is still living the good life. The hours that are spent trying to scurry to find a foster home or what seems an endless wave of dogs coming in, the seniors that are just dropped off because they aren't wanted any more, whatever the situation
dachshund rescue will always be a special part of my life. I now am trying to find more time with my family and my own dogs,
something that I didn't take 'time' for because there was a greater need. I am married to a wonderful man who shares my love
for the breed and is always there to help me with rescue. When I couldn't endure the emotion of picking up an owner surrender, I'd send Kenny, my human soul mate. Poor guy, he'd be the one to try to console the owner if it was one who had to give
up their dog. For 10 years Kenny has been so supportive of me and my drive for rescue I couldn't have done it without him.
As for my own dogs, I just lost my precious Oscar at 15. He was my red smooth boy who came into my life in 1991. In 1995 I
wanted a female and I found a breeder in New Hampshire. I took the ride to see a litter of longhaireds even though I didn't
want a longhaired but I thought I'd look anyway. When I saw the sweet little black and tan ball of fluff greet me at the gate,
that was it. I was hooked and named her Sweet Pea. Miss Pea our fearless huntress is now 11 yrs old. Precious, a red dapple
longhaired, was our unplanned 3rd dachshund. She was a rescue from a Pennsylvania crack house that I picked up to foster for
only a day or two. The applicant couldn't make up her mind whether or not she wanted to adopt Precious so instead, she
stayed one day too long with us and my husband said we needed to adopt her too. To this day she makes us laugh so much. To
round out our crew, we adopted Flower in 1998. Flower is obsessed with balls and is our wirehaired cutie. We love them all
and know the joy they give us which is why I spend the time I do to help them.
