I recently lost my best friend Boo (a Dachshund) to a heart problem. I was devastated and wondering whether or not to get another Dachshund. Thank goodness the answer was YES. My vet recommended Dachshund Rescue of Houston and she was exactly correct in the right place to find a wonderful new pet. Everyone I associated with from Dachshund Rescue, Mary, Bill and Vickie were wonderful and helpful in the process necessary to find the perfect Dachshund for the family. It was obvious from the start how passionate and caring all these people are about finding the right dog for me and making sure the dog was right for the household. We found the perfect family addition in 'Stevie'. She has turned out to be everything we wanted in a new pet and more. We have only had her two days and you would think she has been th us for two months - she is happy and we are beyond happy. I want to thank Mary, Bill and especially Vickie for going above and beyond in assisting us in finding the perfect Dachshund for us.

The Dachshund Rescue of Houston is the perfect place to find a pet in need to become part of your family. They truly care about their rescue efforts and making sure their pets adopted out are placed with caring, loving families. They will certainly receive frequent donations from me. Thank you!

I can't quantify exactly how in love I am with our little boy Noodles (DROH name: Eddie). It's just too stinkin' much! He is completely adorable. We didn't exactly have an easy start - he's quite hyperactive and very crazy, but oh my word this little boy has become a big part of my heart and day. Actually it's hard to get a picture of him where he's not on top of me, as that's where he likes to be 24-7. My girls are so very in love with him too, and once a week Noodles is subject to getting dressed up in all their dolly clothes! He doesn't seem to mind, as it's a ton of attention for him, and he comes out looking very cute in the latest of American Girl outfits. We are so glad we chose to adopt through DROH, and that we got to bring Noodles into our lives, home and heart!

I can't tell you what a great dog Count (aka Coco) is and how well he fits into our home. He and Joey (our other standard) are best buddies. And you would think they had been together since they were puppies. We adore him and can't imagine our home without him in it!

I can't begin to tell you what an absolute angel Count is and how much we adore him!! And how much we appreciate all that DROH does!

We could not be more in love with Ernie and more grateful to DROH for giving him a temporary home before he found his forever one. This dog is absolutely perfect for us. I really appreciated how the DROH Volunteers took the time to understand what would make a great match for me and my husband and then pair us up with a dog that fit the bill to a T. Ernie had a big pair of shoes to fill after I lost my dachshund of 18 years. Such big shoes, I waited 10 years before even considering replacing "Snickers." If there was one dog that could measure up, it was Ernie. I really respect all the efforts the DROH team puts into their animals, and I'm looking forward to staying connected to them as a foster parent during my summers off. 

Forever grateful,   Amy Gremillion and Coby Scher
