Hospice dogs

It is the goal of CTDR to successfully rehabilitate and re-home all of the Dachshunds we rescue. However, occasionally we do take in dogs that, because of their health, are deemed unadoptable. It is then that we find ourselves in a position where our only option is to keep these dogs as comfortable as possible for the remainder of their lives. We try our best to shower these dogs with all of the love that we have and to pamper them as much as possible during the final days of their lives.

In the human world, the closest comparison would be hospice care. In the rescue world, our foster homes agree to take on the task of providing any possible health care, excellent nutrition, comfy beds and lots and lots of love to these amazingly loyal animals, many of which were abused or neglected for most of their lives. Providing hospice to these dogs can sometimes be the hardest part of being a foster parent but it can also be rewarding to know that, for at least the time these Dachshunds were in that foster home, they lived the life that they deserved. And believe us when we say that they appreciate it - you can see the return of love in their eyes and feel it in the kisses that they never fail to give.
