Rainbow update: Visit Rainbow's page to read the full update. The short version is that Rainbow has multiple bone fractures, suffers from severe vitamin and calcium deficiency, and is in a great deal of pain. With rest, better nutrition, vitamin and mineral supplements, pain treatment, and physical therapy, she may improve. At this point, she needs a chance to heal, and that's what we're able to give her, thanks to your donations.

KAAZ NEEDS YOUR HELP!
Kaaz had a little misadventure recently, involving kidney stones! He ended up at the emergency vet clinic for days - had surgery - on IV's. Very sick little doggie. He's now recovering from his surgery and will need to be kept on a special diet to reduce the chance of this happening again in his future. If you can help in any way, please donate to his huge vet bill of almost $4,000.00!! We are a small rescue funded entirely by donations and kindness of volunteers and public! So coming up with that kind of money for one surgery is next to impossible without YOUR help! Two very generous donors recently took care of most of this bill, so we have about $1000 left on the bill! With a few more donations, this surgery will be paid in full! Please donate today!

What is DDRTX?
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 Kerrville, Texas but service all of San Antonio and the surrounding areas. Our volunteers come from San Antonio, Kerrville, and other parts of Central 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 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.
