Can having a dog boost your longevity? Here’s what science says. There is some research that suggests furry friends improve the health of their humans.

We have made great progress towards our match of $5000! We have now received $3460 in donations and just $1540 to go! If you haven't already, help us make it to the $5000 match. You can donate via Pay Pal (link below) or mail a check to: DFW Dachshund Rescue PO Box 1892 Colleyville, TX 76034

We received an update from Penny and her family recently. Penny was one of the three puppies in the "Rainbow Litter" (all three puppies were completely different colors!) She is having a very happy life with her family and we are delighted for her and for her humans!

Oscar; a 4 year old red miniature longhair, was surrendered to us by owners who did not have time for him. He is one of a number of dogs that come to our program and receives the veterinary, grooming and training help needed to prepare for a wonderful new life. Your donations to our matching grant help insure that dogs like Oscar get all needed care.

You can see some of the grooming issues Oscar had, plus a final photo of his completed professional grooming session.

If you'd like to contribute to our matching grant program which is going on now, the link is at the top of our page. Oscar and other dogs we care for appreciate your support!

Please note: Oscar will not be available for adoption until August.

And MORE happy news! Georgie Boy found a lovely home with former adopters and the dog they had previously adopted from us. Both dogs love to play ball and both love the pool at their home with the special shallow shelf where they can cool off after a fun ball playing session! Congratulations to Georgie Boy and his adopters! Live long and prosper!

Some happy news this weekend! Mia found a wonderful home with an individual that was looking for a sweet, laid back girl and once the two connected--we could see it was a great match! Congratulations to Mia and her new owner! Live long and prosper!

"Bailey" is our spokesdog this year for the matching campaign and she would like to encourage you to contribute to our annual matching fund. The information on how to donate is in the post below.

Bailey's care had been neglected for a number of years, and she came to us with horribly infected mouth, a bladder infection, an ear infection and a growth on her eye. She had no vaccine history and will be spayed once her other health issues are addressed. She will be the third dog in our sanctuary program, as she is 11 years old. Donations you make help dogs like Bailey that are in our small sanctuary program and of course help the many dogs that come through our program that can and will be adopted.

It's time for our annual donation matching campaign. Our wonderful benefactor has offered $5000 as the matching amount and we hope to reach that goal. If you've thought about donating to the DFW Dachshund Rescue, this is one of the best times to do it.

You can choose to donate via Paypal or directly with a debit or credit card by clicking the "Donate" button below..

If you prefer to send a check -- it can be sent to:

Donations help us with regular and specialist veterinary care as well as supplies related to the care of the dogs, plus the ongoing care for our senior sanctuary dogs.

Thank you for being a friend to the dachshunds.

Capacity does matter. When groups take large numbers of dogs into their care, it can quickly deteriorate into a hoarding situation. Approach cautiously if you see a group is constantly taking in dogs and has large numbers of dogs in their care. Some groups may be able to do this well, but many can not.
