5/13/2011 Lulu's puppies arrive at our home

Lulu was picked up by Shelby County Animal Control in Alabama in late April of 2011.  Animal Control took her to a local shelter in Hoover Alabama.  It was there they determined Lulu was pregnant.  Lulu was treated for flea infestation but that was only the beginning of what we would later discover was one of many medical challenges she was working with.  Lulu delivered her puppies by c-section on April 25th.   Four of the seven puppies survived.

All American Dachshund Rescue (AADR) is committed to helping neglected and/or abandoned dachshunds.  Our rescue dogs come from many sources including animal control shelters, puppy mills, breeders and families who surrender their pets.  Our purpose is two fold:  provide medical care to restore each rescue dog to perfect health and to find loving forever homes for each and every dog we rescue.

 Members of AADR learned of Lulu’s plight a few days after she gave birth.  We made immediate arrangements to get Lulu and her young family to one of our foster homes.   Lulu joined her foster family since May 13, 2011.  The foster family consists of four humans (two adults and two kids) and two resident canines (Buddy and Hunter).  Lulu has been a joy to foster.    

If you are interested in adopting Lulu or one of her puppies then please go to www.allamericandachshundrescue.org and complete an adoption application.  You’ll find the application on the left side of the home page under Adoption Information.  You can also read more about our application process and things to consider before adopting a pet.
