Diamond Dachshund Rescue of Texas

Diamond Dachshund Rescue of Texas is a foster based rescue group in the heart of Texas that is dedicated to the health, welfare and happiness of our dachshund friends. We have foster families in from San Antonio, New Braunfels, Austin, Georgetown, 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.

Meet Applesauce

Applesauce is a little 5 year old black and tan double dapple girl.  She is blind and deaf, which sometimes happens with double dapples.  She has Microphthalmia, where the eyes are abnormally small and sometimes only partially formed.  Her foster mom thinks that maybe she can see shadows, light and dark, but she doesn't actually "see".  She doesn't react to noises.  She does her hearing through vibrations.   Applesauce is getting to know her foster home and can make her way around without much trouble, even going to the door to go outside. She loves to be held and will sleep in your arms or beside you on the couch and bed.  Right now, she is letting the fosters other dogs know she is here and not to get too close, especially when she wants to sleep.  She's not mean but will give them a warning growl.  She probably has never learned how to play.     Applesauce has had all her vaccinations and is heartworm negative and has been spayed.
