00:01When a rescue in New York heard that more than 40 dachshunds suddenly needed
00:06somewhere to go, there wasn't exactly a playbook for what came next. A lot of
00:11people reach out to us about surrendering dachshunds to us because
00:14they can be a very challenging breed. One of our volunteers saw that there was

01:05Most of them have been adopted. Many of them actually were bonded pairs. All of our
01:12adopters. A lot of them will send updates.

01:36co-founders. We're really trying to find him the right fit and somebody that's
01:40going to be patient with him. After everything he's been through, Titan just
01:45needs the right person and a very cozy home to land on.
01:51We're really trying to find him the right person, and he's been running out on the
01:52track. He's been running out of conditions for the DPF.
