Welcome to Puplifting Moments, where we bring you our favorite stories about people making life better for pups - and pups making life better for people. This week, a pet-friendly Airbnb with a delightful twistâ¦
[The Long Dog Retreat Dachshund Rescue](âs motto, from the very beginning, was âTill they all have a comfy bed and a warm lap!â And now that the Rescue's founders have opened an Airbnb cottage across the street, their Doxies get those comfy beds quicker than everâ thanks to a delightful program that invites guests to rent a Wiener!

The rescue's founders, married couple Kellylynn Caldwell and Joseph Landgraf, advertise the cozy, well-reviewed Michigan home on [Airbnb]( with a nice little tagline: Rent a Cabin & Save a Wiener!
[OMG wiener vacay][The Long Dog Retreat via Facebook](
âOne day I read an article about an animal shelter in Colorado that âloans outâ their animals to people on vacation,â says Kellylynn. âIt made me think about the possibility of having folks who are staying in the cabins âborrowâ one of the Dachshunds during their stay.â

The cottage was already pet-friendly to start, so the âRent a Wienerâ program was a no-brainer for Kellylynn and Joseph. For one, it gives people a chance to learn about The Long Dog Retreat. And even more importantly, the program helps socialize the dogs, which prepares them for life in a new home and gives them a better chance of getting adopted.

âIn a foster care environment, the dogs get very comfortable with us," Kellylynn said. "Some of these dogs are with us for many months. By spending a night or two away from us, they get one-on-one attention with another family, they get to practice socialization skills with different humans.â

Wiener rental only costs $5 a day, and the fee is waived if you take the Wiener for a walk, give the Wiener a bath, or brush the Wienerâs hair. Thatâs a pretty good deal, if you ask us.

If you love what Kellylynn and Joe are doing as much as we do, make sure to follow [The Long Dog Retreat on Facebook]( (you can also [donate to the cause here](). And if youâre ever near Marcellus, Michigan, consider staying at their [Airbnb cottage]( and participating in the âRent a Wienerâ program. We hear thereâs a little Wiener named Fritz Charming who particularly loves the extra attention and extra treats.
