Dallas - Fort Worth Dachshund Rescue

Dallas - Fort Worth Dachshund Rescue The DFW Dachshund Rescue Foundation rehabilitates and re-homes abandoned, discarded, and surrendered dachshunds in the Dallas - Fort Worth area.

We are staffed solely by volunteers, and are supported by donations and adoption fees. The Dallas-Fort Worth Dachshund Rescue Foundation is a well-established 501(c)3 organization with a history of providing dachshund related education and service to the DFW community. If you are looking to adopt or purchase a dachshund, have dachshund related training or behavior questions, or need to place your

dachshund, we may be able to assist you. If not, we will make every effort to find you someone who can. Dachshunds in our program are fully vetted before adoption. This includes being altered, receiving all needed immunizations, having a dental cleaning and being microchipped. Any other medical issues the dog has will also be addressed before being adopted. Our dachshunds are placed in foster homes while they undergo rehabilitation and await adoption. This allows us to better evaluate the personalities of each dog, which provides a better match for potential adopters. While in their foster homes, the dachshunds are socialized, given plenty of love and praise, and some begin to pick up basic housetraining skills and obedience.

The best reward for us is hearing the happy updates from our adopters, about their adopted dog. Apollo's family reports that he is a happy, sweet boy and wonderful with all their grandchildren that range in age from 3 to 19. So nice to know what a great life this little dog is having!

We are remembering with gratitude -- the wonderful work of photographer Teresa Berg, who photographed dogs for our group and produced the annual calendar for more than 16 years! She is now retired, but we will always be profoundly grateful for the difference she made for this group! Here are a few of the "cover dogs" that were the face of the rescue calendar over the years. Enjoy!

“A common misconception is that dogs have hair coats and that they’re never going to be bothered by the cold,” said veterinarian Nancy Kay. “That’s not true at all.”
