Surrendering Your Dachshund

It is the policy of Dachshund Rescue of Houston to focus primarily on rescuing dachshunds who would otherwise be euthanized at shelters. As a result, the chances of DRoH taking an owner-surrendered pet are not good because we simply don't have the room. Please check out the links below to learn about alternatives to surrendering your dog.

Phone Screening Form for Dog Adoptions


If you are unable to find a new home for your dog, please consider taking him or her to Citizens for Animal Protection. They have the best adoption rate in Houston and, if for some reason they cannot adopt your dog out through their program, they will contact us.

If you have found a stray or abandoned dachshund, please contact the Houston SPCA, BARC, or other local animal shelter as we cannot legally pick up stray dogs. They will contact us if they have dachshunds they can't adopt out. If you don't want to turn a stray dog into a shelter, please attempt to locate the owner by posting flyers and having the dog scanned for a microchip.
