Dachshunds lost a really good friend in February 2018 when Dottie Franklin passed away. It’s appropriate that her set of more than 100 dachshund collectables have been donated to benefit All Texas Dachshund Rescue. She’s proud, we know. Dottie lived in Ingram, near Kerrville, where she was actively involved with dachshunds through Diamond Dachshund Rescue. Over the years, she had three rescue dachshunds, Oscar, Babs, and Peaches. Peaches survived her and is at home in Houston with her daughter Ashley and her husband. Dottie participated in the Humane Society Pet Therapy program, taking her much loved dachshunds to area nursing homes, hospitals, and veterans centers. The dogs also joined her at elementary schools to support the K9 Literacy Program. She was an active member of the Christian Women’s Club for 14 years and was instrumental in creating the club’s popular “Doggie Fashion Show.’’ Dachshunds did well with Dottie around. Pictured are Dottie Franklin and Peaches

UPDATE!!! ATTENTION ADOPTERS!! As of October 1, 2021 animal adoption fees are ONCE AGAIN SALES TAX FREE!!!! It has taken almost 2 full years, but a bill was finally written, passed and signed by our Govonor to correct the loophole treating adoption fees as a sale that required Sales Tax!!! We are SO grateful for the hard work of so many people and State Lawmakers that made this possible and to our Govonor for signing it!!!



Did you know ATDR was originally formed to help disabled Dachshunds who were suffering from IVDD. We have a network of wonderful partner vets and surgeons helping us care for our fosters, and now one of these vets in Houston is working in the new field of Stem Cells to help paralyzed Doxies and he invited us, early on, to participate!! To learn more about IVDD in Dachshunds visit our IVDD Resources page !

ATDR does everything in its power to help our rescued doxies regardless of their medical needs. The Dachshunds below require extensive medical attention. We rely on donations to help cover these medical costs and the Joan of Ark Memorial Fund has been established to this end. Please help these special Doxies with a donation and read about Joanie in the link. On average our yearly vet expenses can run well over $150,000. Please consider a donation to help us help these little guys! Opportunity to provide comment or name of dog once you log into PayPal


	This sweet doxie beagle mix made his way from the small valley town of Dan Benito where he was surrendered for euthanasia with ivdd. A wonderful volunteer stepped up and began the search for a rescue to help. Buster is a year old and travelled six hours to Houston on Sunday. Monday morning he received stem cells at Safari in League City. Time will tell but he has two significant areas of injury to the spinal cord and prayers are needed for a successful recovery. This guy is the sweetest guy ever. (20lb standard)
	This sweet boy from out of state was surrendered when his needs became more than his single mom could handle. (Domestic abuse case he’s in witness protection).
		This downed boy named Punkin Ernie was found as a stray in Wichita Falls. He’s about 2 yrs old and unable to walk from ivdd. A Giant transport took place on Sunday where he was moved to Safari for evaluation! Stay tuned for more after bloodwork and a ct scan.
	IVDD, surgery and in-house rehab at Safari for several weeks, maybe months. Please help all of us help sweet Penelope by making a donation. No amount could be too small and anything would be greatly appreciated.
	Sugar Buns suffered a spinal injury that left her unable to walk. For several weeks, she’s been receiving the costly care she needs at Safari in order to hopefully get her up and moving independently again. She’s precious beyond words and still has a long way to go as an in-house patient at Safari. Please help us help Sugar Buns by making a donation toward her veterinary care. No amount could be too small and anything would be greatly appreciated.
	UPDATED PHOTOS OF MS. KIELY	Kiely came to ATDR from an irresponsible breeder who left her in a crate with a larger male dog for several days in an effort to breed her resulting in serious spinal injuries . She’s now at Safari receiving costly stem cell, decompression and other treatments, then hopefully in-house rehab. Please help ATDR help Kiely by making a donation toward her care. No amount could be too big or too small and anything would be appreciated.

Joan Of Ark Memorial Fund

November 1, 2009

Read Joanie's story

In April 2009, a sweet, feisty little soul came drifting into the lives and hearts of the ATDR volunteers. Sadly in early November, after 7 months of ups and downs, and despite all the efforts of her foster family and the many vets from Houston and Texas A&M who generously provided for her care, little Joanie slipped quietly away, wrapped in the arms of her foster mom, to drift back out of our lives, peacefully over the rainbow. In honor of Joanie, her spirit that touched so many hearts, and her sheer will to survive, we have created the Joan of Ark Memorial Fund , to be used to help other Dachshunds who have been victims of extreme injuries or disease. It is our hope that Joanie’s legacy will live on, inspiring future donations in her memory to provide a chance at life for other special needs cases who’s outcomes, with Joanie watching over them, will leave them here with us….healed…..and with new, better futures in loving homes. And for those who must move on as Joanie did, we know she will be waiting to welcome them into the soft green grass and the cool peppermint breeze, somewhere, over the rainbow.
