My story

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

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Rescue Dachshunds.  Look around and read their bios.  Find a few whose personality seems to fit well.  Consider one of our Well Seasoned Seniors who are truly wonderful and have so much to offer.  Need help finding the best fit?  We'll help with that too.  Please fill out an application and let’s get you all matched up with a loving new “furever’ companion and friend. You’ll find the application on the “Available Dogs” page.  NOTE:   Adoptions to Central/South Texas residents only   

Please see FAQs for current adoption fees.  DDRTX only adopts in Central/South Texas.

Lady Sage is a 5 year old, 14 pound female dachshund.  She came to our rescue due to no fault of her own.  Her owner loved her but her health was declining, she was being evicted and she couldn't keep her. She is very nervous right now and will need some time to learn to trust other humans. She is making progress.  Here is what we have learned so far.

 Loves walks and car rides.

  House training is progressing
  She loves to chase toys and will do "tug" at times. 
  She is crate trained 
  Now that she knows me, she responds to being verbally corrected.
  No real issues with my dogs as she initially ignored them until now. She loves to join in barking competitions, either with my dogs or the neighbor's dogs.

Summary:  she REALLY wants a human all the time.  Secondarily she wants a low chair that she can burrow into.  She has done well with both men and women.  Probably not suited for small children.  She has taken well to a yard. She will bark at other dogs, the doorbell, and other sounds and her bark is impressive for such a little dog.  She does well on the leash and only tugs a little.  She has had limited contact with cats and seems to wonder why the dogs in her foster home want to bark at them and chase them.  She needs an experienced owner who will not give her human food or give in to her growls or moans as she is quite an actress.  

Lady Sage has been working on a lot of things and is doing great. She will still need some work but she is wanting to be loved.

More about this rescue

Diamond Dachshund Rescue of Texas is an all volunteer group in the heart of Texas that is dedicated to the health, welfare and happiness of our dachshund friends. We are based in San Antonio, Texas but we have fosters/volunteers in Austin, San Angelo and DFW areas. We are a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization. As such, we must rely heavily on donations and contributions to be able to pay the costs of health care, administrative needs, and other necessary expenses for each of our dachshunds. Diamond Dachshund has rescued, rehabilitated and placed approximately one hundred dachshunds each year since our incorporation in 1998. That's a lot of happy, healthy dogs and equally happy families! We strive to find the right home for each dog's individual personality and needs, so that the placement is permanent and both the dogs and the humans who adopt them, are equally happy.
