Today on Facebook I shared something I wouldn’t normally share. The very sad and violent story of a paralyzed dachshund named, Daisy that was brutally stabbed (she is alive, being treated and doing okay).

I won’t normally share stories such as this and add to the hatred and negativity that always seems to come from it. We have so many stories like this in our world and it’s my wish to be a positive light of hope instead of adding to more negativity.

But my heart couldn’t stop thinking about Daisy. I wanted to help by sharing her story on my page in hopes that her new loving caretaker can raise the needed funds to help pay her medical bills.  There is also justice that is wanting to be served for the person who did this awful act so he pays for what he did, as well as, stricter laws are put into place to keep this from happening again and again.

I in no way condone what this person did. Not one bit. I can’t even begin to wrap my head around why in the world someone would do this?  But one of the reasons I don’t like to share these stories is because often times it breeds more hate and violence.

That isn’t the answer. While I believe there are some who just can’t be helped in this life time, many can. To me this is a huge cry for help from this person’s soul that is clearly in pain and is broken beyond what many of our human minds can even comprehend. It actually makes me want to cry because it is so sad on so many levels.

Is he beyond help? I don’t know. But to act out with words of hatred toward him, I believe, only adds to the violence that has already occurred and we bring more dark and negativity into the world.  He needs help!  If he can do this to an animal, imagine what he could do to a human being?  Should he be walking the streets?  No, he needs help.

I don’t know the answer of how to get him the help he does need- as well as many others. But my heart tells me that hate does not solve our problems. It makes them so much worse.

I find myself in a situation again where I wouldn’t have normally written about these things on my blog for fear of what others would think. I also don’t have the answer as to how to help people like this that act out in these terrible ways.

But by saying nothing, I feel just adds to the hatred and negativity. I felt compelled to say how I feel today not to condone what he did, but to help bring light and love to a situation that clearly needs it, just like so many cases like this that we hear day in and day out.

I pray for peace and healing for everyone involved with this. I truly do. And especially for our world so that horrible acts like this will someday no longer exist.

Sweet, Lovable Disabled Dachshund in Need of a New Home

Posted by Barbara Techel

This notice came to me from my friend, Dr. Kim Bloomer about a little guy Dachshund named Sam who needs to find a new home due to his current caretaker who works full time. The note below is from cousin of caretaker, but the contact is Toni at mariahspromise@msn.com.  Please contact Toni asap if you can help!  Thank you.  Sam sounds like a wonderful dog… and oh, so darling!  As you can see in the last photo he does also have a wheelchair.

doxie 1I am reaching out to see if anyone has thoughts or ideas regarding a serious situation that involves a beautiful, sweet, dachshund named Sam.

Sam (my cousin Terry’s dog)  is a four year old doxy who was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease and lost the use of his back legs; Sam became incontinent due to this illness, he has a wheelchair to help him get around.

Sam is a loving, sweet animal but needs to wear diapers. The problem is, Sam recently figured out how to wiggle out of his diapers. Terry is at work all day and comes home to a very frightened Sam who has soiled himself. Terry’s friend does look in on Sam during the day but this is not enough for Sam to have a good quality of life.

I wanted to know if anyone knows a good dachshund rescue or a person who has  time and may be willing to adopt or foster a disabled, young, sweet dog. Sam is neutered and otherwise healthy.

My cousin may be forced to put Sam to sleep if he cannot find a place to take him. Terry is willing to drive Sam anywhere in the country to re-home him.

Photos of Sam below. Wheelchair photo was taken with a vet tech who wanted to adopt Sam, she was offered a full time job that will not allow her to do this. While in her care, this woman said she truly enjoyed caring for and being with Sam.

Thank you so much for reading this email. I appreciate all ideas. Please feel free to share this email with anyone who might be able to help.

Darla the Paralyzed Dachshund Needs a New Home ASAP

I’m sharing this sweet girl with you today after being contacted by Sheila from The Fuzzy Pet  Foundation and their plea for help in finding Darla a new home.  I can’t believe how much she looks like my Frankie did!  Work is also being done on obtaining her a wheelchair and the Frankie Wheelchair Fund may help with that too.  If you can take her in you will be one lucky person!  Contact info at bottom if you can help.  Thank you.

♥ SPECIAL-NEEDS DARLA ♥

TFPF rescued Darla from a family who wanted to put her down because they no longer had any time for her, and did not wish to deal with her special needs. They enjoyed having her around as a puppy, but no longer wanted her after they learned she would be forever “handicapped.”

Sweet Darla is a six-year old, purebred Dachshund who weighs just 15 pounds. She is paralyzed as a result of Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) that is very common in this breed. She is incontinent and needs the help of a care-giver to express her bladder to go potty. Darla is currently waiting for her custom wheel-chair to increase her mobility.

Despite her special-needs, Darla is a trooper. She moves around like a cute seal, kisses everyone to greet them, burrows under the bed covers to be by your side, and loves to snuggle up to your side on the couch. She is great with kids, cats, dogs, and every person on the planet:). Darla will hop around at the sight or smell of a dog treat, and will even fetch her treats. Darla doesn’t have any behavioral issues. She just wants to give love to others.

Darla is spayed, up-to-date on her shots, and has a clean bill of health. She just needs a special someone to love and care for her. Will it be you?
