DDRTX's available dogs

FEATURED FOSTER DOG

Name: Applesauce

Age: 5 yrs and 2 mths (best est)

Applesauce is a little 5 year old black and tan double dapple girl. She is blind and deaf, which sometimes happens with double dapples. She has Microphthalmia, where the eyes are abnormally small and sometimes only partially formed. Her foster mom thinks that maybe she can see shadows, light and dark, but she doesn't actually "see". She doesn't react to noises. She does her hearing through vibrations.

Applesauce is getting to know her foster home and can make her way around without much trouble, even going to the door to go outside.

She loves to be held and will sleep in your arms or beside you on the couch and bed. Right now, she is letting the fosters other dogs know she is here and not to get too close, especially when she wants to sleep. She's not mean but will give them a warning growl. She probably has never learned how to play.

Applesauce has had all her vaccinations and is heartworm negative and has been spayed.

What is DDRTX?

Diamond Dachshund Rescue of Texas is a rescue organization, operated primarily volunteers, in the heart of Texas that is dedicated to the health, welfare, and happiness of our dachshund friends. We are based in Central and South Central Texas and have volunteers in many parts of Texas. We are a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. As such, we must rely heavily on donations and contributions, which are a necessity in order to continue to be able to pay the costs of veterinary care and other necessary expenses for each of our dachshunds. Diamond Dachshund has rescued, rehabilitated and placed from 100 to 200 dachshunds each year since our incorporation in 2003. 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 families who adopt them are equally happy.
