We have two Doxie's, both rescues, both fantastic dogs in their own right. Our boy is usually pretty quiet but our girl is obnoxiously loud... she's very protective of us, which is nice but sometimes a little too protective. We don't know what happened to her in her previous life... we adopted her through our local doxie rescue.
Our boy came from a rescue in the midwest called Hearts United for Animals. If you can't find your dog at your local pound or Humane Society, consider checking out the HUA website (I think it's HUA.org). They have many dogs of different breeds looking for homes. We adopted Rudy via email and phone communication and a house visit by a local volunteer. We had the option to fly out and pick him up but the timing didn't work out, so they flew him to us. It was a good experience working with them as they seem to be a stand-up organization with good process controls in place... it also helped that we got a pretty good dog too. He's currently asleep next to me after a hard day of eating, playing and napping.
