Not all DRoH Dogs are listed on our website. New intake dogs are first presented to approved adopters and often get adopted.  We recommend any serious adopter applies to adopt and gets in the DRoH approved adopter queue so they will see the newest dogs as they arrive.

I was dumped in a dumpster.  Then the shelter saved me from that awful fate.  The shelter reached out to DRoH, and now I am safe and sound and loved with Dachshund Rescue of Houston.  I have bit of a journey to full health, but in the meantime I will let everyone get to know my sweet and gentle personality.  

Boy am I ever so glad to be a DRoH girl.  I used to be known as the the Dumpster Dachshund -- someone tossed me in a dumpster like yesterday's trash.  I don't know how that happened, so my story will be begin with the day that Animal Control contacted DRoH and I am became a DRoH girl!   I got my teeth cleaned (and boy, did they need to be!) and now I am getting ready to get rid of the pesky heart worms that have infected me.  Gosh, y'all -- just one pill a month can prevent this.  I do know somewhere in my past I was a much loved girl.  I have very nice house manners - I LOVE everyone - men, women and other dogs. My favorite thing?  I love sitting in laps or snuggling under a blanket. I am pretty good with my potty skills and appreciate the freedom of a doggie door, since I'm an older lady and sometimes need to make frequent pit stops. I am on a RX food diet to help me stay regular - another unfortunate side effect of my advancing age, but since I'm a pretty petite female, I don't need to eat too much, and the special food really makes me feel great. When I feel great, my true personality shines through. I can sleep in a crate or in a dog bed at night. I'd prefer to be in the same room as you during the day and night, but I can be alone if its necessary, though I'm not sure why anyone would ever want to leave me out of anything.  I have a very cute little 'song & dance' trick that also leads those that meet me to think I was once a pampered princess.  I am petite and sweet and have been told I am very beautiful.  I am looking to be someone's princess again -- could that someone be you?
