We have one sole purpose, and that is to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home Dachshunds in need of a second chance at life and love. We rescue purebred (and a few mixed) dachshunds from pounds and shelters. Some have had a wonderful life but were dumped by their only family at a shelter for no reason at all, while others have been abused, abandoned, neglected and starved of food and human affection their entire life. We believe there is a home somewhere for every dog rescued, some just take a little longer to find. Dachshund Rescue of Houston is a 501(c)(3) corporation supported strictly through donor contributions. Our volunteers include law, accountancy and taxation experts, who make sure that all funds are utilized in accordance with the laws and regulations required to be in full compliance with our tax exempt status. All donations are deductible to the full extent of this law.

Because we have no paid staff or facilities, every dime of your donation goes strictly to the care and vetting of our dachshunds. The events held to raise funds and awareness are self supporting through the generosity of sponsors and donors.

We are a small group of doxie lovers that all happen to call Houston "Home". We love the dachshund breed and can't bear to think of any dachshunds suffering.
