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.

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.
