Thank you for visiting Sammy's fundraising page!

Donate to All American Dachshund Rescue to help Sammy get the treatment he needs!

Sammy is 8 years old and this picture depicts what his entire life has been like up until this month. Living in the mud and surrounded by snow and ice, Sammy sits chained to a filthy and leaky dog house.  Sammy has never known the gentle touch of a hug or the warmth of his own bed. He doesn't know what its like to have shelter from winter's toughest storms and to feel safe in his person's arms.

If that isn't bad enough, Sammy is paralyzed. He only has use of his front legs. Just to stay out of the rain and to eat what little food
he was given, Sammy was forced to drag his tiny body across the
freezing, hard ground to stay alive. His pain is excruciating and he
has been living this way for 4 years! His muscles have atrophied and his body has deteriorated.

Despite all of this, when a good Samaritan came to pick up Sammy and to meet his previous owner, Sammy showed nothing but happiness! His complete focus was on his previous owner despite how he had been treated. Sammy has a heart of gold and unwavering devotion.

Due to Sammy's condition and to the amount of time it has been left untreated, we have no doubt that his recovery will be expensive and time consuming. He needs back surgery desperately, not to mention he has not been given shots and heart worm prevention and has not been neutered. Sammy's medical treatment will cost in the thousands yet we know that he is worth it! All American Dachshund Rescue could not let this sweet boy continue to live like this and we are dedicated to his well being and happiness.
