Because we are busy rescuing and rehabilitating Dachshunds, we are unable to answer specific questions about dogs. Most general questions are answered on the website.

We do not own or operate an animal shelter. All our dogs are in foster care all over the city of Houston. If you are interested in meeting one of the dogs for adoption or fostering, please fill out a Foster or Adoption application.  If you wish to volunteer to assist at an event, please fill out our Volunteer application.

It is the policy of Dachshund Rescue of Houston to focus primarily on rescuing dachshunds who would otherwise be euthanized at shelters. We do, however, accept owner-surrendered pets as long as we have foster space.

If you have found a stray or abandoned dachshund, please contact the Houston SPCA, BARC, or other local animal shelter.  If you don't want to turn a stray dog into a shelter, please attempt to locate the owner by posting flyers and having the dog scanned for a microchip.

PLEASE NOTE: Because of our ongoing commitment to providing the best possible homes for our rescued Dachshunds, home visits are a crucial part of the adoption process. For this reason, we do not adopt to people living outside of the state of Texas.
