Dogs We Rescue

Each year DDRTX takes in hundreds of lost and abandoned dachshunds and dachshund mixes.  The origins of the dogs range from strays found on the street, transfers from regional Animal Care Services, and owner surrenders. 

We encourage every pet owner to microchip their pets to help with reunite lost animals.  We also encourage including your pets during your personal estate planning.  

What We Do

As a foster based rescue, every dog that comes into our care lives in a safe loving home and not in an anxiety-driven kennel with hundreds of other dogs.  These private homes allow the foster dog to interact with people and other animals until they are adopted by a carefully screened forever family.  

Every dog receives medical attention including rabies and DHPP vaccinations, microchip registration, spay/neuter surgery, heartworm testing and treatment if necessary, heartworm prevention, and fecal testing and treatment if necessary.  Other services may include dental cleaning and extractions, eye and ear care, and special surgeries for hernias, growth, or amputations.

Foster Based Rescue

As a foster based rescue, we are dedicated to the health, welfare, and happiness of our dachshund friends. We rely on the support of foster homes. These homes offer a safe environment, nutritious food, and plenty of affection. DDRTX covers all medical costs associated with the care of the dogs. By becoming a foster, you can also play a vital role in helping us save the lives of dachshunds!
