My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

ATDR 3917


Meet Basil! This one-and-a-half-year-old beauty found herself in a north Texas shelter, scared and disoriented. She went to a temporary foster and then was brought into the fold in a local Houston foster home where she gets along fine with the other dogs, but prefers to be an only dog in the house. Basil needs to go to a forever home with no children and none coming or going.  Not a big fan of cats!   Applicants need to be experienced dachshund owners who will have the patience to let her settle in and become comfortable in her new home. Her new person or people must understand that she can sense fear and gently make sure she understands they are the alpha(s) in her life. In the right home, she will be a loving and loyal pet.

If you meet the criteria mentioned above, please submit an adoption application for Basil and this beautiful tiny girl could be yours!

More about this rescue

All Texas Dachshund Rescue, Inc., is made up of a group of volunteers whose primary goal is to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home disabled and otherwise endangered Dachshunds who have found themselves homeless for one reason or another. It is our policy that no dogs will be adopted out without first being spayed or neutered, have had all vaccines updated, are heartworm negative, are on heartworm preventative, and have had all other health issues we consider important to the pet’s life addressed that we are able.

All incoming Dachshunds will be placed in temporary foster homes, where they will be evaluated while living indoors with the foster families in a safe and nurturing home environment, until such time as they are ready to be placed in a loving, adoptive, forever home.

A 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
