FEATURED FOSTER DOG
Name: Willie Waffles
Age: 5 yrs (best est)
Willie was found as a stray and after several attempts to find his family, he came to rescue. He is 5 years old, and about 14 lbs; he is a handsome double dapple and a lucky one. Although his eyes do show some genetic abnormalities, there are no evident hearing or sight issues though it's suspected his peripheral vision might be slightly limited. This does not cause him any issues at all, in fact you might not even notice it. He is a very active, very happy little guy whose tail never stops wagging! Willie is incredibly sweet and loves people. He is looking for a home that can reciprocate all the love and affection he has to give. He likes being a part of everything, so if you want a helper around the house or to run errands, he's the guy for you. He loves car rides and cuddle sessions. At night he enjoys burrowing in the big bed close to people. A safe yard would be preferable because this guy loves to run! Foster mom describes Willie as a perfect, well-balanced dog. He gets along with other dogs (but might not be cat friendly). He does well around kids and tends to mind his own business around them. He is housebroken, playful, and quiet. He does well in the crate and is getting better at not pulling on the leash. Willie does not care for toys because he prefers constant human interaction and follows foster mom everywhere, and we mean: EVERYWHERE. Willie only sits when you sit. If you've ever dreamed of a life where your sidekick is an adorable double dapple little ween with the most gorgeous blue eyes, do submit your application ASAP! Willie is ready to love you unconditionally and join you in many adventures!

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.
