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.

Just because your dog is a senior doesn't mean they can't learn or do new things! Lots of ideas here.

Just because your dog is a senior doesn't mean they can't learn or do new things! Lots of ideas here.

If you’re the owner of a senior dog, there are many dog sports that are suited to dogs of any age so long as your veterinarian approves.

Congratulations to Orson! He is a sweet, but timid fellow so we knew he would need just the right home. We had a number of applicants, but it was clear that this particular home was the right home for Orson. He has settled in quickly, and his new family says "our family is complete". Live long and prosper Orson! We are so happy for you!

Dickens was about a year old when he came to rescue. He had a broken jaw was heartworm positive. An amazing veterinary surgeon repaired Dicken's jaw and he came through heartworm treatment well. A wonderful couple spotted his picture all those years ago and we knew they would be the right home for him. Dickens was 18 years old when he passed away. So thankful that after his rough start in life that he lived many happy years with his loving family. Run free Dickens!

We've had people ask over the years in regard to what grooming products we use. There are certainly lots of good options, but this combination of shampoo, conditioner and coat finisher we think is great. These were recommended by one of our board members, who is a retired professional dog groomer.

Welcome to Hogan; a 4 year old red smooth dapple dachshund. Although these pictures show him sleeping, he actually is a high drive, high energy dog. He will need a very active home with owners committed to doing something regularly with this dog; whether it is to go to regular agility or obedience classes, long walks every day etc. He gets along well with other small dogs, and would be best with another dog that he can play with. This is not a dog for someone that mainly wants a dog to sit around the couch...Hogan is a busy boy!

Tonight we remember the life of sweet "Daisy"; she had 8 and 1/2 years with her wonderful family and passed away this last Saturday. She was treated for heartworms while in our program, and we felt blessed that Daisy had such a fine home. We know if Daisy could send a message back, it would be to her family "thank you for my great life!". Run free Daisy!

Jake is a 9 yr old mini dachshund/terrier mix. HIs mother has gone into an assisted living facility due to dementia and so now Jake is looking for his new forever home. Jake is current on all vaccines, heartworm and flea preventative and is neutered.

Jake has lived with another dog most of his life. He is in a foster home that has several small dachshunds that he is engaging with. There are lots of big dogs that come and go and he is happy to run and chase with them. He is a sweet boy who loves to dance for his food or treats. Like most dachshunds, he loves to go out and chase the squirrels. He is happy to sit with you when you watch tv.

He is potty trained and crate trained. He will sleep in his crate at night but his foster mom has started letting him in her bed with the other dogs and he is quite fond of that.

Can you be Jakes' new forever family?

Ella is a 14 yr old Cairn terrier. Her mother has gone into an assisted living facility due to dementia and so now Ella is looking for a soft place to land for her new forever home.Ella is current on all vaccines, heartworm and flea preventative and is spayed.

Ella has lived with another dog most of her life. She is in a foster home that has several small dachshunds that she is neutral with. She does not care to engage with them but she also does not mind them being there and cuddling with her. There are lots of big dogs that come and go in this foster home and she is happy to see them. She is happy to hang out wherever you are. And would love a lap to hang out in when watching TV.

She sleeps in her crate at night and her foster mom doesn't even close the crate door. She loves her bed and blanket to cuddle up with in her crate. She does have some skin allergies that need to be monitored. She is currently taking cytopoint shots which help her a lot.

Can you be Ellas' new forever family?

Meet Lulu; a female black and tan wirehair dachshund. Her former owners were overwhelmed with a large family of small children and could no longer financially manage the care of a dog. She is at our vet now, getting bloodwork so we can first determine if she is heartworm negative (she has never been on heartworm prevention), then she will need her vaccines (not current on any vaccines), skin infections treated and spay surgery scheduled (if she is heartworm negative--otherwise she will have to wait on that). She also will need a dental when the rest of this is done, as she has a fractured tooth and other dental issues.

We have someone on our approved waiting list that wants to meet her, so she may already have a home. But it will be a little bit before all her medical issues are dealt with. Let's keep the positive thought that she will be heartworm negative!
