When I came to Diamond Dachshund Rescue, I had no idea what a couch, bed, grass, or even a toy was.  I was a puppy mill dog and Diamond Dachshund saved me from my awful life.  Since coming into rescue I have learned a lot and have worked very hard to learn to trust people again.  I am a very special dog who needs a very patient, understanding, quiet household who will allow me to come to them when I am ready and never push me too far, too fast.  I am about 3 years old and weigh about 13 pounds with a luxuriously long, blonde coat and cute brown nose.  I enjoy toys and playing with other friendly dogs, but I do not do well with children—though I am working on it.  Once I get to know you a little, I will start sitting near you or allowing you to touch me, but this all has to happen on my terms.  I know how to use a doggie door and am pretty good with most of my house manners though I will occasionally mark something that I think I should claim as my own.  I would do very well in a quiet, gentle, loving household of people who like to stay home and understand my need for space.  I have a lot of years ahead of me to learn to trust… I just need someone who is willing to help me learn.

Love dachshunds and not ready to adopt or circumstances won't permit having a dog?  How about being a sponsor or making a donation.  Every one of our dachshunds receives excellent medical care along with day to day food, love and housing.  Being non-profit, we rely on generous individuals like yourselves to help save these fur babies.  You can do this specifically for one dog with the sponsor button on their webpage or a general donation on our “How To Help” page.  Easy and quick through Pay Pal or your debit/credit card.  You generosity is sincerely appreciated by all and is tax deductable.  Need other ideas?  You'll find tons of them on the How to Help tab.  All contributions are tax deductable.

Diamond Dachshund Rescue of Texas is a non-profit 501(c)(3) volunteer organization with focus on rescue and adoption of pure breed Dachshunds.  All dogs are fully vetted and housed on private property.  Meetings are scheduled upon adoption approval.  Thank you for your continued support to the rescue and shelter communities!  Opt to Adopt!
