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.

Adopters! We are excited to see you at the reunion picnic tomorrow! As you are getting close to the location, look for a sign on the right that says "Bob King" and the road to turn on is the next place to turn.

If you have any concerns with directions, the contact information for us is on your invitation.

Get ready for a great time!!

We would like to share a remarkable story today about a remarkable human being. An UBER driver called us about one of his customers that he had been transporting and delivering food to for about 3 years. She had two dachshunds and evidently a very isolated person without support so the driver befriended the woman and her dachshunds, and would help her out now and again. The woman became very ill and begged the driver to find a place for her two dogs. He continued going to her home and caring for the dogs while she was in the hospital. One dog is 6 and one is 14. Fortunately, we had an opening in both our sanctuary program and our adoption program so both Buddy and Coco were able to join our program.

The driver almost broke down in tears when we arrived to get the dogs and told us the woman was on life support now which was going to be disconnected today. He was so relieved that he could keep his promise to the woman!

Now there is a wonderful human being! How many people would do something like this?

Buddy, the 6 year old is morbidly obese, weighing in at 30 pounds so he will be with us until he reaches his goal weight of 15 pounds. Coco, the senior dog, will go to one of our sanctuary homes once her vet work is updated and done.

We are SO PROUD of Clarence and his family! Clarence has now finished his advanced class at Petsmart where he learned more about meeting people, ignoring other dogs and other social behaviors. It makes a big difference to give a dog opportunities to learn and we are thrilled to see how Clarence has blossomed! Please give Clarence and his family a big internet "BRAVO"!

We are happy to announce that Miss Aspen found a lovely home with a couple that live in the same neighborhood as another one of our adopters! She has settled in nicely, and enjoyed a ride on the golf cart so the neighbors could see and admire her. She is definitely the queen of her new home! Congratulations to Aspen and her new family!

In the canine world, behavioural challenges are often approached as faults within the dog. Dogs are labelled as difficult, stubborn, dominant, or broken, and the solution offered is to "fix" them. The use of "dominance" as an explanation for individual dogs' behaviour has been extensively criticised...

People that only focus on the high they get from "saving" the dog but don't care about where the dog ends up are in rescue for the wrong reason.
