Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Schnitzel is a 9-year-old, 17-pound, Cocker Spaniel/Dachshund mix. He is an incredible companion dog who just wants to be held and petted and told what a good boy he is.
Schnitzel is blind and partly deaf, which you’d think would be an impediment but isn’t. After a few days of roaming around like a Roomba in his foster home, he understood the lay of the land. And now he always just seems to know which room Foster Dogmom is in. He’s a very curious boy and likes to investigate new places.
If you have a lap, Schnitzel wants to sit with his head on it. He is impossibly soft—particularly for a Dachshund. He will happily nap as you scritch his head and rub his belly. Should your hand go still before he falls asleep, he will gently remind you to resume the petting. Of course Foster Dogmom likes all dogs, but there’s something particularly special about the warm feeling she gets holding and loving on this guy.
As a young-ish senior, Schnitzel spends a lot of his day napping—either with you on the couch, or under the bed, or on a dog bed. He has his manners down. He is well house-trained. He is totally non-destructive—no chewing or other bad behaviors. He’s in a foster home with five other dogs and he gets along fine with all of them. He rides well in a car, and he’s leash-trained. We’re not sure whether he doesn’t like cats or if he is just overly curious, but we do know that cats don’t like him. So no cats.
Schnitzel doesn’t play with toys, but he is very fond of food and treats. He is also adept at mindreading--at the moment the thought of feeding the dogs comes into Foster Dogmom’s head, he’s right there at her side. He will also has an amazing sensor system (his nose) that wakes him up from a deep-sleep nap every time Foster Dogmom opens the treat jar.
Schnitzel came to us because his owner died. He adapted quickly to a foster home once he was sure he would be fed, loved, and let outside to do his business. He would do well with a single, couple or family. But as he is curious and likes to explore—and can’t see stairs—he needs to be in a single-story home.
Schnitzel’s adoption fee is $200. He has just gotten all his shots and tested negative for heartworms. He is neutered and microchipped. In addition, we had his teeth cleaned and a few of them were pulled, so he’s in excellent shape.

During Covid, we got used to doing our adoptions online, and that's how we still operate. However, we occasionally do adoption events at Hollywood Feed in Flower Mound and at PetSmart in Roanoke.

More about this rescue
We’re a new group (as of January 2019) composed of experienced dog rescuers. We are all-volunteer and 100% foster-based—no shelters or facilities to crush the spirits of our dogs. We have applied for 501c3 status as a non-profit corporation.
We are an oddball assortment of misfits who all happen to love dogs. We pull our dogs from shelters, we find them on the streets, we take them from homes that can no longer care for them, and we find them permanent, loving homes. We are not breed specific--we love them all!
We're headquartered in Lewisville/Flower Mound, but our members are far-flung through North Dallas and into Fort Worth.
