    Anyone in Phoenix interested in fostering a mom with puppies?

    No luck : ( The shelter always contacts all of the rescues before asking the volunteers. They don't update us unless we ask. When they cant find a foster or a rescue they euthanize, so ill ask in a few days : /

    Anyone in Phoenix interested in fostering a mom with puppies?

    Hello, I volunteer with a local shelter(not a no kill). They currently have a doxie mix with 3 puppies that desperately needs a foster home. Puppies were delivered by C-section. Let me know ASAP if you or anyone you know is interested and I will pass your information along to the volunteer...

    Stranger Agression.. 1 year old foster

    To be honest I think its likely that he is half doxie, and half a bunch of random things. I think Tikva's behavior with strangers is what I am hoping to achieve with him. The problem with Link is that his rules are really dangerous. Initially its easy because he makes it very clear he will bite...

    Definitely possible that he is part Minpin. At this point its pretty clear to me that his agresstion is from fear. He is just terrified of strangers until he accepts someone as "part of the pack" he will attack them if they come too close. The ear sucking thing has gotten... strange. Nomi seems...

    Stranger Agression.. 1 year old foster

    Hello Karen, He is officially mine : ) I will look into training. My vet prescribed him a medication to use when he's going to be in stressful situations. He is so wonderful with my family, but has not gotten any better with strangers. He would 100 percent bite anyone he doesn't know that...

    I love that fish oil. I think it makes a HUGE difference. I do not feed them chicken and rice all of the time, just when I need to check for allergies or someone is sick. I will have to go through everything to see if I can find anything, but living in Arizona is rough. The dogs track in so much...

    Does your Doxie have mange? New treatment

    Hello Tikki : ) I actually was shocked when the Vet prescribed Nextgard for mange, and posted some questions about it on a vet forum. Many of the responses from vets indicated that they believed that nextgard would effectively treat both Demodectic and Sarcoptic mange, but I have only had...

    Does your Doxie have mange? New treatment

    Hello, I wanted to share an experience that I had recently. My baby Nomi was diagnosed with mange last year. I ended up taking her to a University clinic, and the vet prescribed us Nexgard (afoxolaner). Its actually a flea and tick medication, but recent clinical trials have proven it to be...

    Yes, I would be happy to hear any recommendations that you have. My husband and I are obsessed with health and fitness ourselves, and even WORSE when it comes to the dogs, and since we started them on the fish oil we have seen a huge improvement in our dogs coats.

    Need advice with dachshund/puppies rescue.

    Hello, Sorry for the late reply. The plan was for my mother to keep the mom (Frankie), and I was going to find a home for the puppy (Nomi). Frankie is doing well although she has some serious issues with men she does not know. I believe that when she was on the street men kicked at her to...

    Hello Tikki, Thank you so much for your input. We give all of our dogs "Grizzly Salmon Oil All-Natural Dog Food Supplement" which we buy from amazon. My husband buys dog multivitamins that come in a spray form that we add to the dogs food. I am not sure what is in it, but I will check tonight...

    Stranger Agression.. 1 year old foster

    Thank you : ). I am OBSESSED with saving these dogs. My mom currently has a 8 month old black and tan doxie mix who was a few hours from being put down at county that I stormed in and asked to foster. He is completely emaciated, covered in mange, and has a URI. But he is so sweet, so after he...

    Stranger Agression.. 1 year old foster

    About a year ago I found a stray doxie with a puppy. My mother kept the mom, and I kept the puppy. Nomi is the best dog I have ever owned, and I am now obsessed with doxies. I decided to foster with my local animal shelter, and I currently have a one year old boy who was at the shelter over a...

    Need advice with dachshund/puppies rescue.

    Update I wanted to give you guys an update. I was at work today and got a call that mamma was back at the gas station. I left work and drove there. She was still hanging around and seemed excited to see me. I fed her and a nice man attempted to catch her for me. She growled and nipped at him...
