Cindy, Jan, Marsha, Greg, and Peter were rescued from a puppy mill in the hills of Missouri. They were kept in a run down shack. The person couldn't afford to heat the space anymore and dog sales were declining, so thankfully she gave up and turned the dogs over to rescue so they could find loving homes. Many puppy mills are being driven out of business by decreased puppy sales due to increasing public awareness. Peter was in extreme pain when he came to us. He had an eruption of infection from his horrible teeth that spread to his eye. He is so happy now that his infection is cured and he is feeling better. He is a dog who has known bad times, in misery for years with no vet care. He is turning into the life of the party now though, and loves to get out and have a good time. He is a very sweet boy. Peter is a male red dapple dachshund. He was born 11/09/1997 and weighs 12 pounds.

His Buddies, Tim, Cindy and Morgan Fleener, from Lincoln, Nebraska sent him this message: "Peter, we saw your picture and had to help you. Now you have a buddy. Love the Fleeners - Tim, Cindy and Morgan" Peter sends the Fleener family many grateful, happy hugs and kisses.

His Buddy, Cameron Peterson, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, sent him this message: "Hi Peter, I am so happy you have all of these good people giving you the love you deserve. You are such a handsome pup! God Bless You." Peter sends Cameron many happy, grateful Dachshund kisses and hugs.

His Buddy, Cristene Justus, from Hauser, Idaho, sent him this message: "Hi Peter, it's me Jan! I am living it up here in Hauser, Idaho and just wanted you to know that I will be here for you until you find your forever home too. I am still so thankful to the wonderful folks at HUA for saving us and giving us a new lease on life. I miss you!" Peter sends Cristene and Jan many fun Dachsie tail wags and kisses.
