As cities across the world are responding to the Coronavirus outbreak, it is important that Central Texas Dachshund Rescue responds with our own precautions to ensure the safety of our community of rescue supporters. Effective immediately the following precautions are in place:
CTDR SOCIAL and Adoption Events • CTDR will not have any public events until further notice.
APPLICATION HOME VISIT • ALL home visits will be completed via Facetime, SKYPE or via a web hosted service where a visual home visit and discussion can be implemented. A follow up on site visit will follow once the State mandated orders are lifted.

We need your help!

On Friday February 21, 2020 CTDR was received an emergency request to take in a young dachshund who had been found in a yard, crying in pain. The finder said it appeared that the dog had been attacked by a bigger dog and they put the dog in a box and went to the shelter. After being seen by the shelter vet, it was recommended that Rescue be contacted or the dog would have to be put to sleep. CTDR immediately jumped into action and arranged for a transport to the clinic that CTDR uses. After being examined by a CTDR vet, it was determined that he had some severe injuries and that his left leg would have to be amputated. He had this amputation on Monday February 24th, 2020. The cost of this along with his neuter and the care he has received so far will run about $2600.00. Any donation, no matter the amount will be so greatly appreciated. CTDR has named this little guy Hercules As he is a determined little guy and has the will to live. Please help CTDR help Hercules.

Reduced Suggested Adoption Fees

Bonded Pairs

CTDR has several bonded pair dachshunds that need forever homes. We have dropped the adoption fees for these pairs so that they can find their forever homes together. The adoption fee for a bonded pair will be $350; the normal fee would be $500. A senior bonded pair will be only $250 total. These bonded pairs are adoptable:

Ramses and Nacho
Boo Boo and Sissy
Bandit and Daisy
Sawyer and Levi
