Named in honor of our beloved Cindy Lou, the mission of Cindy Lou’s Sanctuary is to rescue and provide sanctuary as a loving and safe home for Dachshunds and other small breeds.
When possible we arrange adoptions to forever homes, but we are always committed to each one’s lifelong emotional and physical care.
Please welcome Jazz to Cindy Lou’s Sanctuary! This sweet sad little girl was pulled from Lauren’s, SC animal shelter where she was just not doing well. She is estimated to be 14 years old, is emaciated, can hardly walk, has almost no vision if any, and is as sweet as a frosted brownie! She will need so much love and vet care- she had basic shots at the shelter and is heartworm negative. We are already in love! ❤️❤️
UPDATE: transport arranged!
anyone close to Laurens, SC? I need to arrange a tiny dog pick up!
UPDATE: we have found a place for these supplies – thank you! 💕
One of our sweet friends lost her amazing furbaby Alex today, we are heartbroken for her and her family, he was the best boy. She would like to donate his Vetmedin, insulin syringes and prescription diabetic food. We don’t currently have any diabetic dogs – do anyone have a diabetic dog or know aStarr Weathersbee Schrenkerue who can use this??
Run free sweet Alex! You and Starr will meet again at the rainbow bridge ❤️🐾🌈💔
A huge THANK YOU shout out to everyone who donated yesterday during Giving Tuesday! We are still adding up the totals – but we are so thrilled with the funds raised to help Rolf and our babies get the vetting they desperately need! Y’all are just amazing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
When it’s SUPER cold out and you’re REALLY tiny! You find all about heat registers, then that lady finds the tiniest sweater and your ear reflects that you are not sure about it at all…… We love you Lolli so big! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A short wishlist for Rolf! Thanks in advance
A huge thanks to Lori Abel for rushing in to pull sweet Rolf from the Lexington shelter today for us, she was able to run him to our rescue vet at PetCare of Newberry to have the doc take a look! He’s got a lot going on – not only is he morbidly obese, he has both ears infected, skin issues, the big tumor, dental, and that’s just to get started! We have bloodwork coming back tomorrow and will know more. This boy is a heartthrob!!! ❤️
Rolf weighed in today at 28 pounds! The vet says he should be between 10 to 15 pounds!!! She wants a very strict diet and good exercise to start immediately – I will be posting a small wishlist with just a few needs for this sweet boy. He is a very friendly, happy boy. Rolf is 11 years old and his owner passed away. He has a long way to go to be healthy but we will start one step at a time! Thank you for helping him on his way! ❤️❤️
💸💕 Matching Challenge!! Angie Patterson Davis has offered to match any donations up to $300 between now and midnight to help Rolf on his way to a new healthy life! What an amazing offer! Let’s make every dollar count double!!! 💸💸
💸💕🐾 IT’S GIVING TUESDAY! Can you help us help our babies? We are raising funds this Giving Tuesday for vet care for dogs like this gentleman that we are on our way to pick up and take to the Vet. This is Rolf, 11 years old, owner died, no family. He has a huge tumor on his chest we need to get taken care of and we need your help to do it! Will you give to help him? And all the others like him? If you say yes, so can we!

❤️❤️ We’ve been working on the 5 little fluffies we took in last week, they’ve been so scared and sick it just breaks my heart. There are 4 girls and one boy. Today, the little boy, Bear, decided he need to leave the isolation room where they’ve been decompressing and join the main population for a little Sunday relaxing! He’s decided life is good here! Well done Bear! We’re so in love with you! ❤️❤️
It’s a beautiful day at Pints for Paws! Come on out and play with one of our tiny babies!
We will be at Pints for Paws today with several of our sweet available dogs for you to come out and meet! We also have a wonderful spa raffle basket! Come on out and say hello, buy a ticket and meet the babies! 🐾💕😎
Tiny Missy and sweet Archie are at the vet for emergency appointments! Archie is not feeling well at all and Missy had a big seizure. Last thing we needed right now is extra vet bills! If you can help we would appreciate it! ❤️🐾💔

Welcome to Oscar! A very nervous Doxie (mix?) who just came to us this afternoon from Gaston County Animal Care and Enforcement. He was just neutered and is going to spend some time with foster dad H. To decompress and learn that some people are really ok. Thanks so much to Anthony Ditrio at Cam’s Rescue & Transport for bringing this boy to us! ❤️❤️
❤️Hey Everyone!! Happy Saturday! We will be at Pet Supplies Plus – Goose Creek, SC today from 9:00-12:00 – come on out and see us, meet some of our little loves and say hi! ❤️😎.
❤️🐾 Sugar had a transformation yesterday! Thanks to The Art of Dog Grooming by Tina Sugars horrible matts all over her sweet body are gone! No more grinch feet! Just sweet as sugar girl. ❤️❤️
Thank you so much Tina! She was running around last night and happy as can be!
We are at the vet with 5 new dogs – 6 ear infections, toenails into paws, skin infections, respiratory issues, heart murmurs, rabies shots, it is adding up!!!
Update! 💕💕🐾. All 5 saw the vet and there are a multitude of issues – but we will get them sorted! Our first vet bill was right at $800
To get them started! We appreciate everyone who has donated to get these sweet babies on their way to healthy ❤️❤️❤️
It’s a late night at the Sanctuary – we are reaching out to ask for your help! I went to Lexington SC to pick up a Chihuahua- and snagged some extra for the freedom ride. These 5 little fluffies all came into the shelter today with an owner surrender, owner has lost their home and is unable to care for them. They are all seniors – 11-12 years old and in rough shapeTammy Glee Smith to get to the vet asap- we are thinking ear infections for all of them, skin issues for all of them, most are matted to the skin and will need to be shaved down, toe nails horribly overgrown. Yall get the picture. Broke our hearts tonight. I’m so thankful for Tammy Glee Smith who brought in each one and gave them an anti fungal bath and loved on them while I fed the whole crew.
Can you help us with Vetting/grooming costs?? Any amount will help!!

Surgery was successful – we are so thankful for the skill of Dr Rendon who performed the surgery at Animal Medical Clinic of Goose Creek, Rachel her nurse, Dr Johnson who diagnosed on Friday, all the staff who loved on her while she was there today, and especially everyone who donated to make it possible! ❤️❤️❤️🐾🐾

Is there anything as sweet as a puppy tangle? ❤️❤️. This is tiny Lolli and Handsome Archie! They’ve been playing hard all morning and have now collapsed in a heap – they make my heart melt!
❤️💔🐾💰 Can you help? Our sweet Sophia who has been out with a foster to adopt had to come back to us emergently yesterday – she is very ill – she has Pyometra and is scheduled for surgery on Monday morning. She’s on medicine and had IVs to keep her stable over the weekend. The tests, treatments and surgery will be over $1,000. We are asking for donations to help with the cost so we can continue to assist the little loves

It was 2 years ago today that my precious Cindy Lou lost her life. I relieve those last days over and over, but keep moving forward every day – saving small lives in her honor and will never let her memory die. She was a one in a million girl. Please take a moment today with me and remember all those babies who have passed and those we try so hard to save, hug your babies and tell them how much you love them 💕💕
Black Dog Day?! We’ve got ‘em! Candi, Grace, Lolli, Johnny and June, and Archie! Love them all!
We had an amazing day at Rescue Me on Saturday! We had 2 preapproved adopters come to meet their forever babies, raised $359 for the babies and have 7 applications we are processing! We have at least 1 new interested foster, and met so many wonderful dog people! I want to personally thank the amazing volunteers who staffed the day for us – Herb Watson, Tammy Smith, Laura Dutkiewicz, Maria Christina, Patty Strain – without each of you the day would not have been possible! Thanks also to our amazing donors – Susan Hogan, Jenn Bayer, Saundra Rebholz for providing basket donations and wreaths! And a very large thank you to Olivia Whitehurst for making the event happen! ❤️
