2012 The March 2 tornadoes that struck the midwest tore apart many lives. One story that has touched our heart and those of dog lovers everywhere is that of Sheryle Pickett of Holton, Ind. Her husband Ron, home sick from work that day, was curled up on the couch with their beloved dachshunds, Jules and Katie. The tornado destroyed the house and claimed all three of their lives. While it's hard to fully understand the enormous grief Sheryle must be suffering, there is a silver lining. Soon after learning of the tragedy, Dachshund Rescue of North America started a ChipIn fund to help Sherlye get back on her feet. Word spread quickly across Facebook and other social media outlets, and within one week the fund rose to over $13,000. For more on this story, stop by The Bark, the online home of Bark Magazine. It is truly amazing to see the love and support that dachshund owners show for each other. |

2012 North Carolina Wiener Roast March 30, 2012 The 2012 North Carolina Wiener Roast is fast approaching, and this is one big dachshund shindig you won’t want to miss! In its tenth year, the NC Wiener Roast is a smorgasbord of wiener races, musical chairs, costume contests, kissing contests, great shopping, a silent auction and “wiener bobbing” (did you think they would dive in after apples? No, of course not!). The annual event takes place at beautiful Castle McCullough, which is one of the only castles in the southern United States. If you’re looking to add a wiener dog to your pack, come visit some dachshunds who currently live in foster homes and are looking to connect with their forever family. Join AHRDS on May 5 in coming together to celebrate the breed we so adore. It’s a great opportunity for rescuers to reunite with former foster dogs and enjoy each other’s company. Proceeds from the event go directly to fund dachshund medical treatment, and each year thousands of dollars are raised to support life-saving dachshund rescue efforts. We are proud to join forces with Dachshund Rescue of North America for this fantastic annual festival. T-shirts are available for a limited time; make sure to snag yours today. Here are just a few of the amazing raffle items - you can even purchase your raffle tickets ahead of time!
