My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Rescue Dachshunds.  Look around and read their bios.  Find a few whose personality seems to fit well.  Consider one of our Well Seasoned Seniors who are truly wonderful and have so much to offer.  Need help finding the best fit?  We'll help with that too.  Please fill out an application and let’s get you all matched up with a loving new “furever’ companion and friend. You’ll find the application on the “Available Dogs” page.  NOTE:   Adoptions to Central/South Texas residents only   

Please see FAQs for current adoption fees.  DDRTX only adopts in Central/South Texas.

"Meet Harrison, or as his foster mom lovingly calls him, Pappy Harry. He’s a sweet 10 year old standard sized senior dog looking for a loving home to spend his golden years. Despite some health challenges, Harrison is getting all the care he needs and continues to thrive. While his eyesight and hearing aren’t what they used to be, his sense of smell is still as sharp as ever!

Pappy Harry gets along well with both dogs and kids, though due to his limited vision and hearing, he might feel a bit lost in new environments at first. He’s potty trained, but sometimes accidents happen. He’s a low-energy, laid-back companion who loves nothing more than relaxing and enjoying a cozy spot to nap. He enjoys short walks and exploring the yard at his own pace. Harrison is on heart meds now and will continue through his lifetime.  He is feeling better now with all the love and vet care he has been receiving.

He’s the perfect fit for a calm and patient home that will give him the love and comfort he deserves. All he needs now is a warm place to call his forever home, where he can enjoy his remaining years in peace. Could that be with you?”

More about this rescue

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 San Antonio, Texas but we have fosters/volunteers in Austin, San Angelo and DFW areas. We are a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization. As such, we must rely heavily on donations and contributions to be able to pay the costs of health care, administrative needs, and other necessary expenses for each of our dachshunds. Diamond Dachshund has rescued, rehabilitated and placed approximately one hundred dachshunds each year since our incorporation in 1998. That's a lot of happy, healthy dogs and equally happy families! 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 humans who adopt them, are equally happy.
