Events Calendar
Do you have room in your heart and home for a homeless Dachshund? We need more foster homes to provide a loving, stable environment for dachshunds in need. DDRTX takes care of the vet bills and the foster provides room, food, and a family home for the needy dog until the dog is adopted to a carefully screened adoptive home. Foster homes pass the same requirements as our adopters, so fill out a Foster application today. For more information contact ddrtxinfo@gmail.com

Featured Foster Dog
Name: Baylee Bear
Age: 1 year old (est)
Baylee Bear is not a dachshund but an honorary dachshund. She and two other dachshunds were involved in a house fire and needed our help. The owners could not keep them due to the fire. We couldn't say no to Baylee. Baylee is a 1 year old chihuahua and only a little over 9 pounds. She is a snuggler. She loves being where you are and loves sleeping in the big bed. Baylee is quiet and is gentle taking treats from you. She loves belly rubs....on her terms :). She is great with older considerate kids too. She likes women but really seems to be drawn to men when there is a choice. If you think you could be the right home for Baylee, please put in your adoption application!
During the coronavirus pandemic, dachshund rescue can't stop...they still need us as much as any other time and we pledge to be there for them.
During this time, DDRTX adopted out many dogs to wonderful families. But we also took in many injured doxies. Some are suffering from extensive medical issues.
Now is a great time to give back and help our organization so we can continue to save lives and make families feel whole during this difficult time.

What is DDRTX?
Diamond Dachshund Rescue of Texas is an all-volunteer group in the heart of Texas that is dedicated to the health, welfare, and happiness of our dachshund friends. We are based in Central and South Central Texas and have volunteers in many parts of Texas. We are a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. As such, we must rely heavily on donations and contributions, which are a necessity in order to continue to be able to pay the costs of veterinary care and other necessary expenses for each of our dachshunds. Diamond Dachshund has rescued, rehabilitated and placed from 100 to 200 dachshunds each year since our incorporation in 2003. We strive to find the right home for each dog's individual personality and needs so that the placement is permanent and both the dogs and the families who adopt them are equally happy.
