Animal Success Stories

Here are just a few examples of some of the fantastic happily ever after endings DROH was able to provide for our animals and our supporters. We'd love to add your story to this page too. Email us at doginfo@dachshundrescueofhouston.org and share how one of our dogs has changed your life.

Jay and Art are great!! Jay is such a sweetie! He is also our athlete! He is quite the runner and jumper. He has managed to catch a squirrel. (Poor squirrel). He did escape from the backyard once into our neighbors yard-- we need to go to obedience school to teach him to come to his name. He gets along great with Art and Bella. He is the leader on our walks. Thanks for keeping in-touch !!

Time for a "Failed Foster" update. Ernie was brought into DROH's loving care, not knowing if he would make it through his trauma or not. DROH decided to spend thousands on this little boy just because of their love for every deserving dachshund. The pictures on the left are after about 3 weeks of 24 hour vet care. There was much rehab yet to do and the group committed to Ernie. Today he is a happy, bubbly little boy that fills the Henderson house with joy. Not to mention wrestles with another DROH failed foster, Paige. They have become close buddies and often do the Dachshund joust to our enjoyment. If there has ever been a rescue organization worthy of your time, home or funds to keep this love working for this breed, DROH is the one. Can you donate? Can you foster? If you can, you will be glad you did!

Thank you for checking in on Eddie. He is doing great! I brag to everyone about what a great experience we had with Dachshund rescue.

It still amazes me how perfectly Eddie fits in to our family. It seems as if he was made just for us  :) He still chews through his collars. (I think he has gone through about 4 of them, lol) We might have to go to a small chain collar. He did escape once, right after we first got him. Freaked me out!!  Now we have bricks under our gates. That seems to have done the trick. Jambi and Eddie get along fantastically. We have taken Eddie to the dog park a few times and he does great. He is not intimidated by the big dogs at all. Jambi watches over him like a big brother. He is so full of life!  We love having him! Thank you again for all you do to find these dogs homes!  We love Eddie!!!

Thank you Dachshund Rescue of Houston for bringing Ava into our lives. She is wonderful, sweet and has wrapped herself around our hearts in just a few days. Can't imagine our family without her.

I was fortunate enough to be Rusty's foster mom. My job was to care for him until he found a permanent home. Well it didn't take long before I realized he already had. He is an amazing, sweet, loving, friendly, potty trained! dachshund. He was my 12th foster. I'd been looking for "The One" to foster fail with, and sure enough, this was my guy. I am so proud and grateful that DROH said yes when they got the call this guy was at the shelter. I'm down one foster spot now, but I have a family member I will never be able to part with. And I'll always have room for 1 or 2 or more dachshunds in my life.
