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. We have many foster parents and volunteers. If you would like to help, please consider being a foster parent or volunteer.
Step 1 - You Submit a Pre-Adoption Application. Step 2 - Our Adoption Committee reviews your application. Step 3 - A vet check is conducted. Step 4 - An interview is conducted to ensure you are familiar with what to expect from an adopted dachshund. Step 5 - A home visit is scheduled to see where the dachshund will sleep, eat and play. (Currently, home visits are done virtually via Zoom, FaceTime, etc.). Step 6 - We all work together to match the right dachshund to your family. This is very important!! This will include a virtual "Meet and Greet" session with the dog you are interested in prior to the actual adoption. Step 7 - Finally, it is adoption** day and your new family member will be in your home.
