December Newsletter
Happy Holidays from the ADR family! What a different and unexpected year 2020 has been. With all the craziness, stress and uncertainty we have had throughout 2020 we are so grateful for our snuggly 4-pawed furry family members and the amazing group of people associated with Alberta Dachshund Rescue. We wish you all the best in what is certainly going to be an unusual Christmas. Remember to give your dachshunds a hug from us.
We have some exciting surprises this month, so read on and, as always, if you have any suggestions for the newsletter please email adrescuenews@gmail.com

News and Upcoming Events
Puppies!!
It sure has been an exciting month for us at ADR. Both Greta and Nellie had their puppies! This is such an exciting experience for us as we don't normally deal with puppies.
On November 21st little Greta gave us a beautiful little treasure. Weighing in at just under 5 oz we announce the arrival of ADR's Evi, German for "life.".
On December 3 sweet Nellie had two sweet little puppies - on boy weighing 8 oz and a little girl who weighed 6 oz. Please join us in welcoming Brian and BB.
We are not taking applications for Nellie, Greta or any puppies at this time. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates and pictures.
ADR Christmas Party
We hope you are all having a good start to your holiday season, and with Santa coming next week, ADR wants to invite you to a virtual online Christmas party to share some dachshund joy.
We encourage you to come share stories about your dog and say hi to like minded people, or even just scope out some cute dogs. If you have adopted from us, we would absolutely LOVE to see your adopted dogs and hear about how they are doing now.
We will have a Christmas costume party for the dogs, and have a great prize planned out for a few of the winners! Dress them up and let's see how cute they are!
Join us Saturday the 19th of December at 7 pm mountain time! Follow the link below, provide the passcode, or wait to be admitted to the fun. See you all there.

Updates on our Current Dogs
|
|
Greta is busy looking after Evi and doing an amazing job. When her mom duties are done, she will be looking for a special home. Due to her background she is very shy, may never be able to walk on a leash and will need another dog in the home to give her guidance on being a family pet. She will also need a fenced yard where she can play.

Like Greta, Nellie is busy being a fabulous mom to Brian and BB. Like Nellie, she will also need a special home with the same requirements. She is easily frightened and also may never be able to walk on a leash. She is also looking for a home with a doggie to give her guidance on being a family pet and a fenced yard where she can play.

Sparky came into our care a little while ago. This boy is paralyzed and getting some special care and a new spanking set of wheels to enjoy life. He is super cute and sparky just like his name suggests, and he will be available shortly. He requires much more care than the average bear, with his disability and such, and will need a very niche home to go to.

Happy Tails and Fond Remembrances
Fond Rememberances
Seven years ago Sadie was adopted to her loving forever family. Last month she crossed the rainbow bridge. Please send some positive thoughts for Sadie's family going through a rough time. Our ADR family sticks together.
Flower was adopted from ADR in 2014 at the age of 5. She brought joy to her family and passed away a month after her doxie big brother did. We all send our loving thoughts to her family for their losses this past month. Here is a picture of Flower as well as one with her brother.
