Biography
Trouble started for Sophie & Spot when they decided to go for a romantic stroll on the boardwalk at the beach. Animal Control was called & arrived to find they had no ID's on them, so there was no way to give this loving pair of dachshunds a ride home. It was off to the shelter for this plump pair of love birds…. not nearly as romantic a location as the beachfront even though they were allowed to share a "room" together. They sat at the shelter for over 3 weeks waiting for their people to collect them and no one ever showed up. DRNA was contacted and they are now in foster care. They are both very sweet and loving couch potatoes and enjoy the company of other dogs (including big dogs). They have now slimmed down to their healthy weight. We thought for some time that they needed each other but feel now that they will be fine as long as they have a doggie buddy to keep them company.
