Maya Butterscotch is available and looking for her special forever home! 

Maya came to DDRTX from another rescue deep in South Texas.  They reached out to us because she was paralyzed and would need extensive care.

Maya Butterscotch is a wonderfully sweet, playful, 1 year old girl.  And although she scoots around, it doesn’t hold her back!  She loves to play fetch – and will play fetch by herself by tossing her toys and chasing them if no one is available!  She loves meeting new people dogs, loves to meet dogs of any shape and size, loves treats and green beans, and is a well-rounded happy girl!  Her little barky howl will simply melt your heart!

We believe she is part dachshund and part basset hound which makes her a little larger than your average dachshund at around 20 lbs.  She uses a diaper, has her own wheelchair, and is very healthy.  She has fully recovered from an ulnar ostectomy surgery and is continuing water treadmill therapy.  While she will sway her tail, twitch her legs, and occasionally stand on her own, it is determined she will always be paralyzed and won’t properly walk on her own.

Maya will need a family that understands how special she is.  A family that understands her needs, is willing to change her diaper several times a day, will actively play with her, and will love her unconditionally!

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.
