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.

Meet Amelia. Your perfect Cuddle Companion Amelia is a 3 year-old, 10 pound girl with a sleek black coat that's as soft as her gentle heart.  This petite girl is the ultimate snuggle bug-she doesn't just want to sit next to you, she wants to burrow right into your heart (and possibly under your blanket).  While Amelia loves playing with her toys and romping with her foster sister Rose, she's a gentle soul who prefers playful over rough-and-tumble.  She's the friend who knows when to say "that's enough" and keeps things sweet and easy.  Amelia is blossoming in her foster home.  She's a bit shy at first, but once she warms up to you (which happens quickly!), you'll have a devoted companion for life.  She's met new people and done beautifully and she gets along wonderfully with her foster sister.  She's mostly housetrained and does well going outside, though she appreciates having a backup pee pad option indoors.  She's also learning that walks can be fun, though they're still a work in progress as she builds her confidence in the big world outside.  Amelia would thrive in a calm, patient home where she can continue gaining confidence at her own pace.  If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate little shadow who will make every couch session infinitely better, Amelia might just be your girl!

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.
