8. Otto: 7-pound Resilient Dachshund Mix
When Otto was rescued, he weighed just 7 pounds—barely more than a bag of sugar. The three-year-old wirehaired Dachshund had endured unimaginable neglect, found starving and alone in a home where three of his siblings and both parents had already died of starvation.
Otto’s life before rescue was filled with deprivation and fear. Thankfully, a compassionate family intervened, pulling him from the cruel environment he had somehow survived. But Otto was more than physically malnourished—he was emotionally shut down and overwhelmed, unaccustomed to love or security. When his temporary family realized his needs were greater than they could manage, they reached out for help, and All American Dachshund Rescue immediately stepped in. Learn More
