Fritz

Fritz holds the title of ‘Oldest Living Doxie’ here at DRBC with the passage of his best friend BJ in late October.  Fritz is 21+ yrs old and has been diagnosed with mid-stage renal failure.  He is a happy and loving little guy and will need to have supportive meds and sub-q fluid therapy to mitigate the progress of his disease.  How can you refuse that cute little face?

Molly Jo

Molly had a horrific past.  Pulled from a puppy mill, Molly had no use of her back legs, it took almost a year but she has gained use of her hind end.  Now aging, Molly faces the effects that arthritis can have on spinal injuries.  Molly seeks to maintain her activity level through physical therapy.  Won’t you help?

Smokey

It is sometimes hard to believe that Smokey has grown up here at the rescue.  Now almost 19 Yrs Old, he has earned the Alpha Male position in the pack.  A kind and gentle leader he now faces the challenges of early stage renal failure and needs your help to continue his treatments and remain the scamp all who meet him know him to be!

Arthur

Not the brightest bulb in the box, Arthur is an absolute love.  He spends his days following his older brother Smokey and is dependent on him for direction.  Deemed unplaceable due to his slow nature and attachment to the pack, this special guy will need support now and in the future. 

Homer, Jr.

OK, you got us, not a full doxie.  Mom was a yellow lab and dad was a red doxie.  We assume a coffee table or crane was integral.  Playing ‘cross the breeds’ has left Homer with deformities in both front limbs.  While surgery is not necessary right now, physical therapy would be a big plus.  Homer is followed every six month for the progress on his joint degeneration and requires meds and support before bad storms.  Pictured here with 1 of 3 woobies, Homer is a real charmer and is looking for a little support to help keep him walking.

Jania

Jania is beginning to overcome some of the terror that must have faced her early years.  When she first came to DRBC she spent much of her time hiding and cowering.  Now with proper coaxing Jania has started to give kisses and will allow us to hold her and give love.  Her insecurity around strangers makes her unadoptable, but not unsupportable.  Can you send Jania a little hug?

Scooter

Don’t let those beagle like looks fool you, Scooter is the best definition of ham on rye we have ever seen in a doxie.  Unfortunately, as is common in most dapple doxies, Scooter has major cardiac issues and some physical deformities.  He is 7 yrs old, but will forever face the limitations of ‘designer breeding’.   Medications are his only hope for an extended life.  Can you help support him?

Travis

Travis is the 2^nd half of Jania.  This cute little guy brings something special to all those that meet him and has a special job at the sanctuary house, that of cheerleader.  Travis gets out all the toys every morning and encourages the older ones to play, Travis reminds everyone it is dinnertime and reminds them he will finish their dinner if they do not, Travis can burrow a hole under the blankets faster than anyone and is willing to donate the space to a less capable tunneler.  It may not seem a though Trav needs support, but as a critical resident to the sanctuary he would like to think someone is looking after him too! 

Chickie

Our other beagle look alike, Chickie is another victim of ‘designer breeding’.  Born blind, he was abandoned at the Trenton Shelter and was minutes away from euthanasia when we found him at age 17 yrs.  Four years later, Chickie has begun to experience the effects of early renal disease.  Like some of his housemates, medication and fluid therapy are a daily reality.  Chickie has taken up residence on the living room recliner and has a pad under him at all times due to periodic incontinence.  Still he is a delight and never gives us cause to wonder why he remains among us.  Can you help this cute little guy?

Sarah

Sarah is a product of our failing economy.  Returned to DRBC when her Mom could only find work out-of-state, Sarah is both deaf and in renal failure.  She is a beautiful long haired mini doxie and a joy to all those that meet her.  Like all renal failure doxies she needs meds and fluid support to help her get along in life.  Surely this grand lady is worthy of a little support.

Heidel

Heidel has a special mission in life.  She is here to example the effect of a failure to vaccinate combined with irresponsible breeding.   Heidle's mother never received vaccinations; likewise her owner did not spay her.  During her pregnancy she contacted Parvo and although she survived, she puppies were born with deformities and several died.  Se began her life with an older gentleman that passed away and was sent here to DRBC to spend her remaining years.  Severe dental disease has left her with one tooth, but she is a fighter.  Can you help her continue her daily battle?
