Picture Name Date Adopted Adoption Story
Frankie 09/02/2010 Frankie has broken his foster mom\'s heart and moved on to his forever home. She didn\'t really care if he was ever adopted because he was her favorite! She even called him Bear, like a CareBear because he was such a pleasant pup. Bear is already taking over the home of Laura and Nathan, where the reigning Doxie Diva, Junebug, will show him how to \"work\" the humans! Another special pup finds a whole family to love...
Hamlet 09/02/2010 We have another chapter to close in our Shakespeare story. Hamlet has found his forever home with Gina and Jeff. His first job is to start patching that dachshund-shaped hole in their hearts, but measure for measure, this little dachsie is up to the job. He\'ll also have two sisters, Rana and Olive to welcome him to his new life far removed from a nasty puppy mill.
Mariana 09/02/2010 Mariana, another one of our Shakespeare gals, found her forever home today with Donna and Wayne. For her foster mom, parting is such sweet sorrow, but that is the destiny of a foster family. Mariana joins her new sisters, Furbee and Rowdy to make much ado about nothing, as these three vie for attention. Another happy ending from an awful beginning!
Portia 09/02/2010 Portia, another one of our Shakespeare group, has found her forever family. She\'s travelling all the way from the south side of Houston to the north side, where she has a new big sister Flo. She fell into the arms of her new parents, Vicki and Pam as if she was meant to be there. Her foster mom had been calling her Pepper, so when another Pepper in our group was unavailable, karma stepped in, influenced by her new name. As they say, the rest is history...All\'s well that ends well.
Paul 08/30/2010 Another lucky pup squeaked in under the dog days of August! Paul found his forever family yesterday and was so excited that he had a little \"oops\" as soon as he walked in. His new family forgave him and the only drops left were the teardrops of his foster mom. A happy sad day for her, but a forever home for her former charge - a foster parent\'s best \"payday\".
Mary Jane Watson 08/29/2010 Little Mary Jane found her beautiful new forever home in Katy today. As an only dog, and with three little girls to play with, she won\'t have any problem getting all the love and attention she deserves!
Barnaby 08/21/2010 Barnaby found his forever home with a couple of Dachshund lovers complete with a red brother and sister just like him! Barnaby discovered his true inner Dachshund when he stepped into his new beautiful backyard with squirrels and special Dachshund path that skirts the perimeter. What happy bliss to be home at last! Barnaby would like to thank DROH and his new family for making the rest of his life blessed.
Lucy #3 08/08/2010 Little Lucy found her forever home this weekend and will get to stretch her sea legs (as short as they may be). Her sea-sister Phoebe is happy to show her the ropes for a life of smooth sailing. Lucy has many more sailings into the sunset ahead of her! :)
Bianca 08/07/2010 In a midsummer\'s night dream that Bianca won\'t have to leave, another one of our doxies has found her forever home. From a nasty puppy mill to glorious digs in Katy, Bianca has stolen the heart of her adoptive family. She has two canine sisters now, Sadi and Edith, who welcomed her to their little piece of heaven and assured her that she\'ll get to stay with them well past the twelfth night. All\'s well that ends well!
Fredrickson 08/07/2010
Jon 08/01/2010 I have handed Jon over to his new forever family. Wow, that is really hard. Jon is an asset to any home he lives in; however, Jon got really lucky. His new family has a beautiful home and a spoiled red doxie girl. She will benefit from romping with Jon if she will let him do it. He will romp with anyone who will let him.
Ringo 08/01/2010 Our friend Ringo has finally found his forever home! He even has a 7 year old boy to play with. Life is grand for Ringo and his new family, and he is drumming the praises of all who helped get him home.
Clark Kent 07/31/2010
Puck 07/31/2010
Deb 07/27/2010
Minda 07/27/2010
Terri 07/24/2010 Ms. Terri is no longer a country girl. From Cut & Shoot to Spring Branch, she has been adopted by a family who lives right off I-10. Can\'t get any more city than that. Terri was welcomed home by her new playmate, Grizzly. This little lady has finally found her forever home!
Reginald 07/18/2010 His adopters have opened their hearts and home to Reginald, who now thinks he\'s the king of Montrose. This couple loves to stroll the neighborhood and will be happily showing off their newest family member. Their cat Lola, has also given her approval of this lucky Dachshund.
Tabitha 07/18/2010 Tabitha has bewitched her new adopters in the Woodlands. They were able to overlook her mischievous ways and see what a magical Dachsie she is! Congratulations, Tabby, on finding your forever home!
Prissy #2 07/14/2010 Missy (Prissy) is our lap dog and loves to be with people. She is timid and does hide under our bed from time to time. Seems loud noises startle her a bit. We are working with her on the potty training and definitely good to have another dog in the house for her to learn from. She and Monty get along great. We have them sleeping in our bed with us and Missy does not move a bit during the night. We are getting our routines set up and we\'ll get them settled in soon.
Annette 07/11/2010
Clementine 07/10/2010
Giselle #2 06/29/2010 Giselle is happy to report she has moved to her new digs in Tomball, getting to live with her new step-sisters, Cimmy and Lily (also adopted from DRoH). Keep an eye out for those three at upcoming Wiener Dog Races... they are a force to be dealt with!
Duncan McShipley 06/28/2010 Where can I start? My foster mom - the most beautiful mom on the planet - has decided to keep me. So I get to stay and live in this wonderful place with all my adopted brothers and sisters, such as Daisy (formerly Snow White, also adopted from DRoH). My wonderful mom also does wildlife rescue... can you believe she is taking care of five baby skunks?! How cool is that? She nursed me back to health and got rid of that horrible mange. You would not believe how handsome I am now!
Baby 06/26/2010
Lois Lane 06/24/2010 Lois Lane has found her Metropolis in League City. Her new big sister is a Lab named Penny and it must be a lucky penny for Lois. She won\'t have to be looking for her Superman and has graciously allowed him to move on...I think she\'s making plans to be her own Wonder Woman. Afterall, what doxie diva doesn\'t think she\'s anything less than wonderful?
Jethro 06/16/2010
Stefan 06/15/2010
Nicole 06/14/2010
Lovey 06/10/2010
King 06/07/2010 King\'s adopters have chosen a new forever friend to rule their hearts and home. King will be setting up all the fetch-balls he can find, and his new big sister, Olive, is just as obsessed with the art of \"fetch\" as he is. King sends his royal thanks to you!
Jena 06/06/2010 Jena has won the hearts of all and has found her forever family in Spring. She\'ll have a sister, Delilah, to share all her doxie diva-ness, as well as a court jester (the cat) Crash Bandicoot for entertainment. All the efforts on the rescue mission got her there and Jena will be forever grateful!
Minnie #4 06/06/2010 One of our babies has moved to the country! Minnie has been adopted by a family in Brenham. Minnie can now be right there for all the Blue Bell ice cream she can eat. It\'s so hot today, we should celebrate with Blue Bell all around as a toast to Minnie\'s good luck! Thanks for your help in finding Minnie\'s forever family! A special thanks to Kayla for spending the morning on the road getting Miss Minnie to her new home!
Blake #2 06/01/2010 Way back in March, we worked on an application for Mary and Guy. None of the doxies could please them and it turns out that they were just waiting for Blake #2 to come along. Blake officially took over their home yesterday and this family has found a forever friend.
Hershey 05/22/2010 According to his new \"mom\", Hershey is wonderful and such a trooper. He met the other dogs and slept in a cozy crate in the bedroom. He has been eating and getting a lot of exercise. They absolutely adore him!
Bella #3 05/12/2010 The \"Meet and Greet\" went just as expected last night. I came home without my friend Bella. But what a wonderful forever family she is with now! The daughter, has already called to tell me how well the bonding is going with the folks and Bella, and everyone had a great night. I’m so glad this worked out, I felt very comfortable placing Bella in their arms. Just a wee sad... she is a wonderful little Doxie.
Maddie 05/10/2010 Our latest adopter, Mary, was mad for Maddie from the moment she laid eyes on her bio. Maddie has a new sister, Speckles, who has already clued her in to how great it is to be spoiled. Mary now has a home with two doxie divas - and life is good....
Claire #2 05/01/2010 Claire has found her forever home. She was one of those unfortunate babies from Alvin. Her best buddy Minnie was adopted yesterday, but she had no time for a lonely heart. She\'s gone from the muck and mud of a puppy mill to cushions and blankies galore. I\'ll bet there\'s even a few treats there for her, too. Thanks for your help in getting her there.
Minnie #3 04/30/2010
Rachel 04/30/2010
Zero 04/30/2010
Dotty 04/29/2010
Nancy 04/28/2010
Jasper 04/25/2010 Another one of our babies found his forever home this weekend. Jasper, now known as Danny, has set up new digs with Nicole. Her family has two other doxies, so he falls right into a new pack. This beautiful doxie found his forever family on a beautiful weekend!
Tammy 04/25/2010 Tammy \"Peaches\" stole the heart of her adoptive \"mom\" at our Spring Fling Party this year. Was is because Tammy won the Foster heat of the Wiener Dog Races or just because she\'s so darned cute? Whatever the reason, the result is a happy one for all parties involved.
Brittany 04/22/2010 Another one of our \"Alvin Pals\" has found a forever home. Brittany, now known as Nina, will be living the good life in fancy digs near Hermann Park. What a wonderful change for her. She went from the muck and neglect of a puppy mill to a loving home with international friends. And just to make sure she has a perfect life, her new parents are also adopting Minnie! They don\'t want Nina to be lonely. When someone asks why you volunteer, you can tell them this story.
Duchess #2 04/20/2010 Duchess had a sleepover at Nina\'s house this weekend and must have been very well behaved. This will now be her forever home to rule over, as any good Duchess should. She also patiently awaits the pending arrival of Rachel, who must be vet cleared before she can find her way home. Thanks to all, not one, but two of our lucky girls find a forever home!
Ross 04/19/2010
Theodore 04/18/2010 I\'m pleased to report that Lynell and Dale completed the adoption this afternoon of the infamous \"Mr.Theo\". I transported Theodore to the family in Kingwood this afternoon and after about an hour visit, including the introduction of Theo to Rowdy, the other family Dachshund,another DRoH doxie dynamic duo was formed!
Alvin 04/17/2010 Have you heard the good news? He hasn\'t because he\'s deaf, but Alvin has found his forever home and what a fabulous home it is. His new forever friend is retired and has the whole day to be his \"ears\". Our charter member of the Alvin bust in January has come a long way! Those awful puppy mill conditions cost him 27 teeth, but not his charm.
Annie #2 04/14/2010 She can sell seashells by the seashore! Our fiery little redhead, Annie, has found her forever home seaside in Galveston. She\'s living in one of those fine old Victorian homes, as only the best will do for this Doxie diva. Annie is now an Island Babe!
Simon #4 04/14/2010
Chandler 04/09/2010 You\'ll probably have to press on that gray matter to remember working on an application for Mary and Chris back in February. They wanted two of our members and adopted Martin #2 back then. They have now officially adopted Chandler. He had a nasty case of heartworms and had to wait for clearance by the vet before he could consider their household his forever home. Chandler and Martin are best buddies and everyone\'s efforts got them together! This family now has their very own DRoH doxie dynamic duo!
Merle 04/02/2010 Merle\'s \"Meet and Greet\" went so well, it was a match made quicker than speed dating! His adopters are thrilled with how well Merle fits in. Lucky Merle found his forever home just in time for Easter!
Bowie 04/01/2010 Bowie needs to send out a notice to the Easter bunny that his jelly beans must be delivered to his new forever home! His adopters have chosen an Easter Doxie instead of chocolate bunny ears to celebrate. Bowie will become a most cosmopolitan canine in his new digs in Midtown. Everyone deserves a marshmallow Peep (or two) to celebrate!
Phoebe #2 03/30/2010 In the words of her new Mom, Phoebe \"is just precious and has stolen our hearts\". This little bundle of chocolate kisses has found her forever home with Sara and Lynn. A chocolate doxie beats out chocolate bunnies and Peeps any day - even this close to Easter! A round of jelly beans to all for you efforts.
Wilbur 03/27/2010 Well, he didn\'t keep looking for Mr. Ed, but our Wilbur is quite happy with Mr. Tom. Wilbur, our most recent DRoH alum has found his forever home in Pearland. Tom says he\'s everything, and more, than he hoped for. We have two happy guys who are forever friends.
Brownie #2 03/26/2010 Brownie worked his charm and his foster mom\'s parents decided he had to join the family forever. Deborah and Orion decided that living out in the country could only be made sweeter by adding a little Brownie. Our bashful little man has a Doxie sister, Phoebe, and lives the good life listening to the crickets and patrolling the property for critters.
LuLu 03/20/2010 Lulu, now \"Lucy\", was adopted from Dachshund Rescue of Houston in March 2010 - she had been in foster care since June 2009 and had to be treated for heartworms before then. She may have been in foster care so long because she is a Dachshund mix and because the photos of her on DROH\'s website weren\'t that cute - well, she is definitely cute and definitely a sweetie!
Steve 03/16/2010 Steve has found his forever family! \"Mom\" was so excited about his arrival that she had already purchased a bed and collar - oops! too small! Steve was a bit larger than his bed, but in true doxie fashion, any bed will do, even if it\'s got \"wiener spillage\" over the sides. Our formerly homeless, hairless hound has become silky Steve in the suburbs, thanks to your efforts.
Martin #2 03/13/2010 I\'m happy to say that Marty has found his life long people. He was a little nervous at first but then he finally settled down and became the sweet boy he really is. I think he and Chandler are on their way to becoming great buddies... even if they don\'t know that yet! I was a little sad to see him go... he\'d been with me for almost 2 months so you do get attached... but more happy for him than sad because I know he will be very loved and have a good home and people for the rest of his life!
Henry #4 03/07/2010 Our gentleman pooch Henry broke a heart today, but found his forever family. His foster mom is sad but happy that he has found a great family with Jennifer and Wendell. What dog wouldn\'t love growing up with his very own boy? Happy Henry is home.
Shorty #3 03/06/2010 Lois has finally gotten her girlie companion for Roxie, (a DRoH alum formerly known as Valerie). Looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship...
Fabio 02/27/2010 I can\'t believe it\'s not butter, but I can believe that all of you assisted in finding a forever home for Fabio. Like the best romance novel, it was love at first sight for Laura and Fabio. His new home is a Victiorian-style townhome in the Heights...and they lived happily ever after.
Derby 02/24/2010 The Wiener dog races must have carried good fortune for a dog with a race name. The luck of the races carried over for Derby. He found his forever home tonight with Kelli. He is ready to carry on the dachshund tradition of loyal companionship and thus begins a beautiful friendship. This wiener dog has crossed the finish line to a happy home life!
Peanut 02/24/2010
Pebbles & BamBam 02/24/2010
Rhodes 02/24/2010
Prudence 02/21/2010 Our little Miss Prudence won over the heart of \"Mom\" Devine almost immediately. What a life she\'ll have - and her new name: Prudence Devine. And NO - contrary to her name, she is not taking up stripping !....
Poppy 02/20/2010
Tom 02/20/2010 Well, Tommy worked his magic! After all, he IS a pinball wizard...(Except for that dismal halftime show). Shae and Michael were able to choose a forever friend for Motley. I think Tommy will give Motley a run for the money and there will be some heavy-duty doxie snoring going on in their home in the Heights! Thanks to your efforts, this whole family is now Motley\'s crew...
Biscuit #2 02/15/2010 They may have applied last October, but they have decided on a forever friend. Biscuit is well established with Terri and J.R. up in Kingwood. What a perfect place for a doxie king!
Alamo Adelaide 02/13/2010 Our little Senior Miss found her forever home today. Alamo Adelaide will now be the constant companion for Kathy and both ladies will have a special Valentine\'s Day tomorrow. What a great day to find your forever friend! Thanks to your efforts, we now have two happy hearts!
Riley 02/13/2010 Riley has found his forever home with Martin and Gudrun. He was passing out sloppy doxies kisses to both. It was a long morning for him and by the time I left, he could barely keep his eyes open. The family was raving about our organization! Each of you who had contact with them left such a glowing feeling that they hold DRoH in highest regards.
Daisy #5 02/06/2010 Ross decided that he didn\'t want roses for Valentine\'s day. He chose a Daisy instead. Daisy #5 found her forever home with him today. You\'ll see her and Ross walking the neighborhood and the best news for her: he has an elevator, so she won\'t even have to climb stairs! What a life!
Adonis 02/05/2010
Sweetpea 02/05/2010
David 01/31/2010
Chester 01/30/2010 Well, Chester got his new home today. He gave them lots of kisses and fit up in daddy\'s arms perfectly. He was sporting a new harness that looked perfect on his red coat. By the way, his new name is KC after KC and the Sunshine Band. Boy you can really tell our age. Not too many kids even know who they are.
Tribe 01/30/2010 This is how it started: \"This may sound crazy (but what owner of Dachshunds isn\'t a little crazy), but we are also interested in one of the dogs currently receiving care, Tribe. Does he need a foster while he is receiving care? We may be interested in adopting him when he is ready. What is the process for this? Do we need to fill out an application again?\" And this is how it ended: ADOPTED!
Dallas 01/22/2010 Back in September, we worked on an application for Joanna. It was a foster application and she was \"not adopting\" - ever - because she may end up back \"across the pond\". Well.....Dallas worked on Joanna these last few months and we now have a new foster failure. I guess if she ever moves back to England, she\'ll always have Dallas... (poor Casablanca reference).
Constance 01/15/2010
Shandy 01/15/2010 Shandy, now Andy, has found his new forever home! Carrie and David already have good reports and said it\'s like he\'s always been a member of the family. Andy has three kids to keep him busy and one of them has been sleeping on the floor next to his crate. I\'ll bet Andy\'s thinking he\'s fallen into a golden pack!
Bradley 01/14/2010 Bradley has made himself quite at home in the library, where he has staked a claim on one of the leather chairs and soft throws. He had been with DRoH for a while, so I\'ll bet he\'s pretty happy to finally be home.
Dunn 01/07/2010 Well, it was a whirlwind meeting and Dunn met his doxie soulmate in Chikki. Mike and Debbie now share their home with two happy wiener dogs. Dunn\'s charming personality won them over instantly and life is good.
Hope #2 01/05/2010 With all your efforts on her behalf, Larry and Alfreda have Hope (#2) for a wonderful new year and a fabulous forever home. This little doxie lady hopes all her doxie friends can be as lucky in 2010!
Number of dogs: 86
