Oscar The Flying Weiner Dog

Read heartfelt stories of rescue, and share your rescued animal stories with others.

We were looking for a female dachshund, but when the Rescue organization showed us Oscar he wagged his tail so hard it went from hip to hip in a blur. It was love at first sight. He's been with us for 12 years now, and still barks everytime someone comes in or goes out the door. He marks his territory when he's upset and has been know to nip when someone gets in his space. But he's a bundle of love, and we couldn't do without him. He loves to ride in the boat with his ears flying in the wind.

About The Animal Rescue Site

The Animal Rescue Site focuses the power of the Internet on a specific need — providing food and vital care for some of the eight million unwanted animals given to shelters every year in the U.S., as well as animals in desperate need around the world. Over four million animals are put to death each year in the U.S. alone because they are abandoned and unwanted.

Each click on the purple "Click Here to Give — it's FREE!" button at The Animal Rescue Site provides food and care for a rescued animal in need. Funding for food and care is paid by site sponsors and distributed to animals in need by Rescue Bank, The Fund for Animals, the Petfinder Foundation, North Shore Animal League, International Fund for Animal Welfare,and other worthy animal rescue organizations supported by GreaterGood.org.

In addition to clicking the purple "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button, visitors can help more by shopping in The Animal Rescue Site store. With each item purchased, shoppers generate funds for the feeding and care of animals in shelters and sanctuaries.
