Dallas - Fort Worth Dachshund Rescue Foundation

2010 Adoptions

Heidi has been with the rescue program since the summer of 2010, but had an approved adopter patiently waiting for the day when Heidi could join their family. She was finally old enough to be spayed, and now has a loving home with a veterinarian and his family. This lucky little dog has her very own veterinarian on call for any of her needs. Heidi was the 45th, and final adoption for the 2010 calendar year for this organization. We know Heidi will have a great 2011 - and a great rest of her life - with her new family!

Lucky Elliot is celebrating the New Year in his new, forever home! His family says "Elliott quickly found the key to our hearts". He loves to play with his longhair dachshund brother, and every night he gets to sleep in the "big bed" with his family. We are thrilled that Elliott now has a home with people who love and treasure him. Hurrah for Elliott!

Chloe, made much faster strides in developing confidence than we first anticipated, once she was in a foster home, separate from her litter mate. Our vet then determined that Chloe could be spayed sooner than January, so that was done in preparation for adoption. Chloe had learned a lot from her her special foster guardian dog Winston and we decided she was definitely ready for a forever home. A lovely couple with many years experience in dachshund ownership was seeking a companion for themselves and for their little chiweenie male dog who had been adopted from an area animal shelter. When we took Chloe for a home visit, it was clear that she and Max clicked, and she and the couple clicked as well. It was good to see that this was the right home for Chloe, and just as importantly, the right dog for this household. We are delighted that Chloe has found a home where she is loved and cherished. Congratulations Chloe!

Kiki found a home with a wonderful retired couple who are at home most of the day. She loves going in and out of her dog door and napping on the couch while her family watches TV or works on the computer. Regular walks are part of her new life. Her new family says "we couldn't be happier with this little dog". Yeah Kiki!

A wonderful couple came to us, looking to adopt not one dachshund but two. They fell in love with Eddie and also with Ziva, and adopted them both. One of the owners works out of the house, so Eddie and Ziva have companionship during the day. They have a huge yard where they can run and chase squirrels, and sun bathe to their hearts content. Their new family appreciates the wonderful personality that each of these dogs have, and we are thrilled that Eddie has a forever home!

Ziva was adopted along with Eddie from our rescue program. The people wanted two dogs, and the personalities of both these dogs fit in beautifully with the family. Now Ziva has a beautiful yard in which she can run and chase squirrels to her hearts content, aided by Eddie, of course. Their new family is appreciating the loving nature of both these dogs, and we are delighted that the dogs have the forever home that they needed and deserved.

Logan, our beautiful standard longhair dachshund, has found his forever home. His new owner reports that Logan has settled in beautifully and enjoys his two dachshund buddies. He loves to sleep on the bed and relax with his new owner. What a wonderful life for this great dog; who once was cast out on a country road, abandoned and unwanted. Now he has a great new life! We thank his new owner for giving him that great new life!

A couple who had adopted from us previously spotted Marlie's picture and were immediately captivated. Once they met her, she was definitely the one for them. Marlie joins a home with several other dogs, and two people to love. This little dachshund was one of the most precious dogs that has ever come through the program--we still wonder why no one came looking for her at the shelter. However, we are glad that we were there to step in and find her a true forever home. Yeah Marlie!

Miss Hazel had a short stay in rescue, and quickly found a home with a lovely couple who had previously owned dachshunds. Their last pair died of old age, and they were ready for a new friend. Happy, spunky little Hazel quickly won their hearts--and we are so glad for her!

Andrew has found a permanent home with a lovely couple and their dachshund. They had met several of our dogs, but none were exactly right... until they met Andrew! Andrew immediately took to them and their dog as if he had always been in the home. We're happy for Andy as he will now be known. Now he will have a loving family to care for him for the rest of his life!

Roosevelt had a long stay with us, but it was worth it. He found a lovely home with previous adopters who have another male dachshund from our program. They were ready for a second dachshund, and "Roozy" as he came to be known, was just right. He had wonderful care with devoted foster parents, and they were sad to see him go..but happy that he has a wonderful new home. This is the day we all look forward to....the day the dog graduates from our rescue program into a wonderful new home! Hurrah for Roozy!

Merlin, now re-named "Buddy", found a wonderful home with previous adopters who have a female dachshund from our program. Merlin's sweet face and wonderful personality won them over, and now he can look forward to a life with lots of love, walks and trips in an RV! Merlin (Buddy) thinks he won the doggie lottery with his new life, and we think so too. We were so happy to "shake his paw" and congratulate him for graduating from our rescue program and finding such a wonderful home! Hurrah for Merlin!

After a five month stay in our rescue program, Max found a wonderful home with a family who was seeking a lovable companion. Max immediately showed us at the home visit that he thought this was a great place; and the family felt the same way. After a couple of weeks, it was hard for them to imagine that Max hadn't always lived there! "Graduation Day" (aka "adoption day") is a happy day for our volunteers. We shook Max's paw and wished he and his new family the very best! Yeah Max!

Jake was adopted by a lovely family, with a daughter who had always wanted a dachshund. He joined another rescue dog who was already part of the family. Jake has settled in beautifully, and his family can hardly believe how quickly this little dog won their hearts. We appreciate the family's commitment to looking to adoption when it comes to adding a dog to the family. Hurrah for Jake and his new family!

Miss Lani our one and only "dachshund comedian" has found her forever home with a couple who has adopted previously from our organization. Lani's peppy and humorous personality really appealed to them, and she is fitting in beautifully into her new home. The happiest day for our rescue volunteers is when we can "shake a dog's paw" and congratulate the dog on his or her new home. Today was that day for Lani! Now re-named "Daisy Doodle", she has a bright future ahead of her.

Austin's adoption has been finalized, and he has been re-named "Maverick". We were proud to shake his paw and congratulate him on his new home, with a lovely couple who have a special love for wirehair type dachshunds. "Maverick" has two other dachshund siblings, and he is fitting in beautifully to his new home. He is going to have lots of opportunities to participate in dog activities now; and we hear that earthdog, obedience and possibly therapy work are in his future. Congratulations Maverick! We are so happy for you!!!

Our Princess Violet found her forever home--and now as fairy tales say--she can live "happily ever after!" A lovely couple was seeking an adult dachshund to share their life with and Princess Violet was a great match for them. She loves to go out on a walk, but is also happy hanging out on the couch while her family watches movies. Taking the time to get the right match for the dog and the people really makes the difference. Three cheers for the Princess and her new family!

After seven months in rescue, Rudy found the perfect home with one of our former adopters who has two other dachshunds from this program. He loves playing with sister Phoebe, and brother Blue is content to supervise them. His new owner reports that Rudy is fitting in beautifully. We are so happy for Rudy--he now has the home he deserves!

Fantastic news! Rusky has a new home with a family who already has a dachshund from this program. Now re-named Slider, he has a buddy named Crash to play with and wonderful humans to love him. The family is thrilled with their two standard sized dachshunds and we are thrilled that Rusky has what he deserves...a loving forever home! The volunteers at DFW Dachshund Rescue are celebrating!

Georgia, along with her buddy Paloma, were adopted together to a home. They are having a great time playing chase, wrestling with each other and getting lots of love from their new family. We're so glad these young puppy girls have a wonderful new life together. They have left their past behind and enjoying life to the maximum!

Paloma, along with her buddy Georgia were both adopted to one home. Paloma thinks it is wonderful to have a running, wrestling and chasing buddy. And getting lots of love from their human family is wonderful too--we hear that the girls do stop their play from time to time to have a nap on the couch with their family! So great that these two young dogs have a wonderful new life together!

Leo was spoken for quickly once he entered our program, but had some vet work to fiinish and needed to complete the minimum stay requirement. His new owners waited eagerly for the day that Leo could go home with them and we have already had glowing reports about what a wonderful, sweet little dog is. We weren't surprised - that's what we thought too! Leo will be traveling regularly with his new owners, and we hope he'll send the rescue foundation a postcard!

Cyrus now healthy and active, has found a fabulous home with experienced dachshund owners. They were looking for a new friend for themselves, and a playmate for their 2 year old wirehair dachshund. Cyrus loves to play and chase with his new buddy, and when he is not doing that, he likes to sit in laps. Knowing that Cyrus will have such a wonderful forever home warms our hearts. We hear that Cyrus may get to try participating in earthdog, and also may try his hand at therapy work. We think he'll be great at that! Thank you to the wonderful family who gave Cyrus a new life!

No one is happier than Cody to announce that he has found a forever home with adopters who have two other dogs from our program. He is playing with his new dog buddies, and also spends a lot of time in someone's lap--no surprise to us! This wonderful standard sized dachshund was with us for 8 and 1/2 months. We knew he was a special dog, and are so glad that he now has a forever home! Hurrah for Cody! We're celebrating with you, and we thank his family for giving him what he truly needed--a home of his own.

Little Winston, now named Dill has found a permanent home with adopters who have another dog from our program. They report that Dill has Olympic style athletic abilities.....the injury he had to his leg no longer affects him in any way. Dill loves his other dachshund sibling, and they play until both are exhausted. Dill has made a big hit with everyone he has met, and enjoys going to the lake with his new family. We are thrilled with his new life, and while the volunteers miss the cute little guy, we couldn't be happier for him! Thank you to his wonderful new family! May you have many wonderful years together!

Lucky little Rigby found a wonderful home with a couple who already had adopted one dachshund from us. Rigby and his buddy Schnitzel love to play chase through the house, wrestle for toys and of course, spend lots of time sitting in laps! Now Rigby has a shiny coat and a sparkle in his eye! We thank his wonderful family for giving him the forever home that he needed!

Wiley found a new home with a former adopter who has another dachshund from this program. He is enjoying daily walks and playing with his buddy Beetle. Safe, secure and loved.....life is great for this little dog now and we are so happy for him!

Jefferson got a wonderful home with a couple who already have another dachshund. They were looking for a companion for themselves and for their dog. They saw Jefferson's story and applied to adopt him. As soon as we met them, we knew that this was the right home for Jefferson and the right dog for them. Jefferson loves his wonderful new home, and has great fun investigating the beautiful yard where he is committed to keeping it squirrel free for his new owners. Our wonderful vet staff had a chance to meet Jefferson and his new owners and they too were thrilled that this sweet dog... who had been through so much after being hit by a car... found the perfect home. Hurrah for Jefferson!

Madison has found a forever home with a lovely couple and their black and tan smooth female dachshund. Now Madison has a sister and they enjoy each other's company; although Madison thinks she is the boss. She and her new family were off to the lake this weekend to enjoy the beautiful weather. We're thrilled for Madison and for her new family, who has gained a lovely little dachshund companion.

As we suspected, we had lots of interest from people wanting to adopt little Suki. We wish we had several dachshunds like her because we had some wonderful applicants. Suki was adopted by a couple who had a middle aged dachshund and who were looking to add a second dachshund to their home. Suki's gentle, but playful personality immediately won them over and she adjusted to their home very quickly. They are very happy with their new companion, and we are happy that Suki can live the rest of her life with people that truly love and cherish her. That's what rescue is all about--giving wonderful dogs a second chance at a happy home. Hurrah for Suki!

Mandy found a wonderful home as an only dog with an owner who loves Mandy's energy and intelligence! She is planning to take her to dog training classes with a trainer we suggested. Mandy loves her new home; when we stopped by to see her....her tail never stopped wagging! She has truly blossomed from the timid dachshund who arrived in our rescue program. Hurrah for Mandy and many thanks to her adopter!

Lucky little Carli was adopted by a couple who adopted another dog from us about a year ago. They were looking for a fun loving, playful companion for their first dog and for themselves. Carli fit the job description perfectly! She blended into the household easily and is greatly enjoying her new life!

Wilma has a new family and a new name - Winnie. Just as we thought, this little dog had a short stay in rescue. Her wonderful, happy personality wowed everyone, and our vet staff said "this one won't stay in your rescue program very long". Wilma loves her new family, and enjoys the company of a larger hound mix dog. She is happy to play with toys and equally happy to hang out in a family member's lap. We know we've done our job when we find the right home for the dog, and the right dog for the home. Our work is finished with Wilma, and her new life is well underway. Hurrah for Wilma - or should we say Winnie.

Rugar has a new home with a lovely individual and his sister. They spotted Rugar's handsome picture on our site, and once they met him, they knew he was the dachshund they wanted. Rugar has become buddies with the cat in his new home, and also has two other female dachshunds to play and hang out with. In Rugar's new home, he is loved and appreciated, and he will be able to live out his whole life there - and we know it will be a long, happy life! We celebrate Rugar and his new family!

Lucky little Lamar has found a new home with a retired couple who were seeking a small, affectionate little dog who could enjoy life in their home as well as go on trips with them.

He's a lucky boy to have found such a great home!

Truman had been with our group since January; as he had a few medical issues to attend to. A couple who had been on our waiting list for a male longhair dachshund quickly fell in love with this dog and waited until he was well so he could be adopted into the their home. Despite his scary experience of being caught in a trap, he has blossomed in his new home and is a happy, affectionate fellow. He is learning a lot of new things via the clicker training method and we are all happy to see this great dog learn and develop so well in his new home. Yeah Truman!

Lincoln our high energy fellow, found the perfect match with a wonderful family and their three children. They were looking for a fun, energetic dog and they found that in Lincoln! The family says "we laughed more in this last week with our new dog than we had in a long time". They also reported that Lincoln sleeps through the night and is doing well with his housetraining. The foundation he received in rescue helped him have a great start in his new life. We're so glad this family spotted Lincoln on our site! Hurrah for Lincoln and his new life!

Mystique has found a new home with a lovely couple who are experienced dog owners and committed to long term dog ownership. They have another dog already and wanted a second companion for their home.

We are happy to announce that Miss Rani (now named Lily) has found a home with experienced dachshund owners who already have two other female dachshunds. Rani had a couple of health issues that turned out to be ongoing, although they would not limit her substantially and her new home is well set up to provide any care she might need. Mainly, Rani is enjoying having a forever home. We are grateful to her new family for making her a permanent member of their household. Hurrah for Rani--or rather Lily!

We are delighted to announce that loveable Cady has found a wonderful forever home with a family who has another dachshund, and wanted a companion for him--and another dog to love for the humans.
