Transparency matters: Boomer has a history of resource guarding, so he needs an experienced person who understands dogs and can balance structure, adventure, and affection.If you’re looking for a loyal adventure buddy, Boomer would love to meet you.

Bruno appreciates the simple pleasures: a leisurely walk, a tasty treat, a friendly game of chase, and a comfortable couch beside his people. In true dachshund fashion, he loves burrowing into pillows and blankets. If your idea of a lovely evening includes a cozy spot and a devoted companion, Bruno would be happy to join you.

He has been friendly and nonreactive with the dogs he’s met so far, both large and small. He plays appropriately with his foster sisters and enjoys their company. Found as a stray alongside another dog, Bruno also shared space with other dogs during his shelter stay.

Bruno walks beautifully on a leash, making outings together a pleasure. Toys haven’t caught his interest just yet; for now, people, treats, and his canine companions seem to be his favorite things.

He is still working on his indoor manners and currently marks in the home. His foster family is managing this with belly bands, and his adopter should be prepared to continue patient, consistent housetraining as he adjusts.

Bruno would love a family who will include him in everyday life, enjoy his affectionate personality, and give him the time and guidance he needs to settle in. Another friendly dog could be a lovely match, given how much he enjoys his foster sisters.

Could your home be Bruno’s next cozy place to land? Submit an adoption application through Dachshund Rescue of Los Angeles and tell us about the life you could share with this lovable boy.

Cleo has a wonderfully sweet, affectionate, and easygoing temperament. She adores people of all ages, children and adults alike, and seems to believe that everyone she meets is a friend she hasn't had the pleasure of cuddling with yet!

Speaking of cuddling, Cleo is a champion snuggler. She's happiest being close to her people, and if you're looking for a devoted little companion who wants to be wherever you are, you've found your girl. Cleo is going to be someone's very own four-legged shadow! Whether you're relaxing on the sofa, moving from room to room, or settling in for the evening, you can expect Cleo to be right there beside you.

But don't let her love of cuddles fool you! Beneath that sweet exterior is a spirited young dachshund who's just waiting for her chance to run, explore, and enjoy life at full speed. Once her veterinarian gives her the all-clear, we have a feeling this little lady is going to have a wonderful time stretching those short legs and showing off her playful side!

Cleo was recently spayed and is currently recovering from surgery, so she's taking things easy for now and enjoying some extra TLC.

❤️ Cleo is currently being fostered in Calabasas, California.

With her loving personality, affectionate nature, and enthusiasm for everyone she meets, Cleo is going to make one very lucky family an incredibly devoted companion.

Cleo isn't quite ready for adoption just yet!
We're giving her the time she needs to fully recover and settle into foster care. But don't worry — we'll let everyone know as soon as this beautiful girl is ready to begin her search for a forever home!

For now, please join us in welcoming sweet Cleo to the DRLA family! ❤️

And, of course, there's Frankie, her devoted boyfriend and constant companion!

A Love Story Worth Keeping Together

Harley and Frankie have shared their lives together for years. Sadly, their world changed when their beloved owner entered hospice care and could no longer look after them.

Through no fault of their own, these two sweet seniors found themselves needing a new home at an age when comfort, familiarity, and companionship mean so much.

Thankfully, they still have each other.

Harley and Frankie are a bonded pair, and our greatest wish is to see them spend their golden years together, surrounded by the security and affection of a loving family.

To help make that possible, DRLA is offering an ADOPT ONE, GET ONE FREE adoption special for Harley and Frankie!

When adopted together, the adoption fee for one of them will be waived. Two precious senior companions, one loving forever home, and twice the happiness!

A Little Lady with a Big Personality

Harley may be a senior, but don't let her age fool you. This girl still has plenty of personality!

She loves to amble around the house, carefully supervising the activities of her humans. Whether you're preparing dinner, folding laundry, or simply going about your day, Harley likes to know what's happening. She's an inquisitive little soul who enjoys being included, even if she's just observing from a comfortable spot nearby.

And when Harley wants something, she has her own wonderfully amusing way of telling you.

Rather than barking up a storm, this clever little lady will stroll right up and give you a soft, gentle grumble. It's her own special language, and it might mean, "I'd like to be picked up, please," "Excuse me, I need to go outside," or perhaps her favorite request, "I believe it's time for a snack!"

It's not an aggressive growl, just Harley's charming way of making her wishes known.

A little bit diva? Absolutely. Completely lovable? Without question!

Life in the Slow Lane

These days, Harley prefers life's gentler pleasures.

She absolutely adores sunbathing and would be delighted to have a safe, sunny spot where she can stretch out, enjoy the warmth, and watch the world go by.

She also enjoys leisurely little strolls, although long walks can be difficult for her. Harley doesn't need miles of exercise or an action-packed schedule. Short, comfortable outings, a little exploring, and plenty of time to relax are much more her style.

Harley is a low-energy, generally quiet companion who would be happiest in a peaceful home where she can enjoy a predictable routine, soft places to rest, and the companionship of people who appreciate the special joys of senior dogs.

She is friendly with adults, children, and other dogs, although she has one particular preference: Harley would really rather be the only lady dog in the household!

Her Frankie is, of course, nonnegotiable. And if there happen to be a few other friendly Dachshund gentlemen around, well, Harley certainly wouldn't object to having her own little harem of admirers!

Keeping Harley Happy and Healthy

Harley has recently received dental care and is current on her vaccinations. She is also spayed and already housetrained.

Like many senior Dachshunds, Harley needs a few thoughtful accommodations to keep her comfortable.

She has a cataract in her left eye, but she continues to enjoy exploring her surrou

Frankie is a peaceful, contented little soul who doesn't ask for much. Give him a comfortable place to rest, a warm patch of sunshine, some gentle affection, and the companionship of his favorite people, and he's a happy boy.

But there is one thing Frankie simply cannot do without.

His beloved girlfriend, Harley!

A Love Story That Deserves a Happy Ending

Frankie and Harley, a beautiful black long-haired Dachshund, have shared their lives together for years. Their bond is deeply special, and these two sweet seniors find comfort and companionship in one another.

Sadly, their lives took an unexpected turn when their previous owner entered hospice care and could no longer care for them.

Imagine how confusing such a change must be for two little dogs who had known the comfort and familiarity of their home for so long.

Thankfully, Frankie and Harley still have each other, and we are determined to keep it that way.

To help these two precious seniors find their forever home together, DRLA is offering an ADOPT ONE, GET ONE FREE adoption special!

When Frankie and Harley are adopted together, the adoption fee for one of them will be waived.

Two devoted companions, twice the love, and one wonderful opportunity to give a bonded senior pair the happy ending they deserve.

A Gentleman Who Appreciates the Finer Things in Life

Frankie is what you might call a true connoisseur of comfort.

He's happiest lounging on the sofa with his favorite people, enjoying a little companionship without needing to be the center of attention every minute.

He also happens to be an enthusiastic sun worshipper! Find him a sunny window where he can settle down and bask in the warmth, and you've given him his very own little piece of paradise.

Frankie doesn't need a packed social calendar, long hikes, or endless excitement. His idea of a perfect day is spending time with the people he loves, enjoying a little sunshine, taking a leisurely stroll, and settling in for a peaceful evening.

He's a wonderfully mellow companion whose calm, affectionate nature makes him especially endearing.

And while Frankie is generally a quiet fellow, he does take his responsibilities as household greeter seriously. If someone knocks on the door, he'll offer a few barks to let you know there's a visitor. Once his announcement has been made, he's usually content to return to his regularly scheduled relaxation.

A Little Patience, a Lot of Love

Frankie is a gentle boy, although he can be a little cautious when meeting unfamiliar people in his home.

His first instinct may be to hang back and observe, taking a little time to decide whether this new person is someone he'd like to know.

But give him the opportunity to become comfortable, and you'll discover the affectionate, devoted companion beneath that initial shyness.

Frankie isn't interested in rushing into new friendships. He simply appreciates being allowed to make them at his own pace.

Once he knows and trusts you, he's more than happy to join you on the sofa, keep you company, and enjoy all the wonderful comforts of being a cherished family member.

Frankie gets along with people of all ages, including children, and generally enjoys the company of other dogs, particularly those he already knows.

Larger dogs, however, can make him uncomfortable, so we're looking for a home without large dogs where he and Harley can feel secure and relaxed.

And

Marcus isn't your average couch-potato dachshund! This energetic boy loves being outdoors, exploring the neighborhood, enjoying long walks, and putting those powerful little legs to work.

He's an enthusiastic exercise partner who has even enjoyed running alongside a bicycle! He's also a wonderful car companion, always happy to head out on another adventure.

And when the day's activities are finished? Marcus knows how to relax. Give him a sunny backyard, a comfortable place to stretch out, and his favorite humans nearby, and he's one happy dachshund.

The Home Marcus Dreams Of

Marcus is looking for something special: a peaceful, structured home with plenty of room to enjoy life.

A house with a securely fenced yard is essential. Because of his size, strength, and activity level, apartment and condominium living would not be suitable. In fact, we think Marcus might absolutely love life on a farm or a spacious property where he could enjoy the outdoors safely!

Marcus forms strong attachments to his trusted people, but he needs time and patience when meeting unfamiliar people. He can be reactive toward other dogs while on leash and has sometimes reacted unpredictably toward strangers and children. Marcus has a bite history, so an adult-only home with experienced, responsible dog guardians is essential.

His ideal adopter will understand canine behavior, recognize his boundaries, and be comfortable continuing positive, consistent training. Marcus has already made progress, and we're committed to supporting his continued development with professional training.

With thoughtful introductions and careful assessment of compatibility, Marcus may also enjoy sharing his home with a calm, confident dog his size or larger.

Marcus's Perfect Match ❤️

An adult-only household with no children

A house with a securely fenced yard — no apartments or condos

Experienced dog owners who understand reactivity and canine body language

A calm, predictable environment with consistent routines

Someone committed to continued training and positive reinforcement

Plenty of appropriate physical activity, enrichment, and outdoor time

Potentially a stable canine companion of similar or larger size, following a successful introduction

A Special Dog Deserves a Special Person

Marcus isn't looking for just any home. He's looking for the right home.

He has so much to offer someone who appreciates his intelligence, athleticism, loyalty, and unmistakable dachshund personality. He needs a person who will respect his boundaries, celebrate his progress, and give him the guidance and stability he deserves.

Marcus has been patiently waiting for his forever family for a year now. During that time, we've gotten to know his wonderful personality, his devotion to the people he trusts, and just how special he truly is. We're hoping the right person will see beyond his challenges and recognize the loyal, loving companion waiting for them.

We believe that with the right environment, experienced guidance, and a patient, loving family, Marcus has the opportunity to build a wonderful future.

Could you be the person Marcus has been waiting for?

If you have experience with dogs who need a little extra understanding, a secure yard, and a heart for a dachshund with a big personality, we'd love to hear from you.

And his list of accomplishments is pretty impressive for a puppy his age!

For the past several weeks, Bear has also been receiving professional training, giving him a fantastic foundation to build upon.

What makes Bear especially wonderful is his combination of intelligence, confidence, sociability, and trainability. He has so much potential, and he's already demonstrating the qualities that make a truly exceptional companion.

Bear's ideal home?

An active family or individual who appreciates intelligent working breeds and understands the importance of structure, consistency, and continued engagement. Bear will thrive with someone who enjoys being active, values training, and wants a dog who can be both an adventure partner and a loving member of the family.

After everything this sweet boy has been through, he deserves a home where he can continue to flourish and be loved for the incredible dog he's becoming.

Bear is ready for his forever family. Could that be you? ❤️

Please message me if you're interested in meeting Bear, and feel free to share this post to help him find the home he deserves!

An active home or family that can meet her exercise needs
Someone experienced with high-energy breed mixes (or ready to learn!)
A foster or adopter with patience and consistency for training/socialization
A yard, regular walks/runs, or an active lifestyle is a big plus

Why Foster or Adopt Eli?
