2/16/2026 Update: Gus was adopted and adored but he tried too hard to be the pack leader protecting his new home. Gus needs more time working on his issues so we will keep him with his foster mom for a bit and look for some guidance from a dog trainer.7/20/2025 Gus came to Dakota Dachshund Rescue as a breeder release boy.He is just beginning his journey to become a house pet.Gus could use some angels to sponsor him.
Gus was diagnosed as Heartworm positive July 27th.He is on doxycycline and oral heartworm preventive monthly now.also on a flea/tick product that kills mosquitoes as well. First treatment injection will be Sept 23. Gus will be in the rescue for multiple months while he goes through his treatment.Can you sponsor Gus?He would love you for it.

My adoption fee helps cover all of my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, neuter, and microchipping.

The dachshund is a small dog breed known for its long body, short legs, and distinctive appearance. Originally bred for hunting badgers, these playful and loyal dogs make loving companions for families. Dachshunds come in three coat varieties smooth, wirehaired, and longhaired each with its own unique charm. Despite their size, dachshunds are bold and courageous, with a curious nature that can sometimes lead to mischief. Their endearing personality and adaptability make them popular pets worldwide.
