ATTENTION ADOPTERS!! As of Nov 1, 2019 the State of Texas is requiring ALL Animal Rescue Groups of any type of animal to collect and remit Sales Tax on all Adoption Fees. We are monitoring the situation and remaining in contact with other rescue organizations for any changes or updates. In addition to being a registered 501c3, we feel we provide a public service which helps municipal shelters reduce their taxpayer costs by removing animals from their care when they and others call us. We believe in the montra of Adopt, Don't Shop and your adoption fees support a very different goal than a Pet Store, Puppy Mill or any other type of for profit animal sale. Unlike a sale, our adoption fees only cover a fraction of our expenses. We strongly feel animal adoption fees with registered 501c3 organizations should be exempt from sales tax. We hope the State will reconsider this requirement. You can help by contacting your local State representatives, as well as the Governor and Lt Governor's offices to voice your opinion. Look up your local Texas representation here: https://house.texas.gov/members/find-your-representative/ Contact the Texas Lieutenant Governor: https://www.ltgov.state.tx.us/contact/ Contact the Texas Governor: https://gov.texas.gov/contact

Did you know ATDR was origionally 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 paralized 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. On average our yearly vet expenses can run well over $150,000. Please consider a donation to help us help these little guys! Please help these special Doxies with a donation to the Joan of Ark Memorial Fund and read about Joanie below.

		This tiny girl was brought into Safari walking extremely painfully where she was diagnosed as immediately needing expensive surgery for IVDD. ATDR stepped in and took over her care so that she wouldn’t have to be euthanized. Thank you for helping us help Hollie Belle by making a donation of any size…nothing could ever be too small.
	The Honorary Dachshund Fractured femur, damaged ligaments, numerous puncture wounds, injury to leg preventing use of it, emaciated at 15 pounds (should weigh 30), has mange and is heart worm positive! PLEASE help ATDR help Kim! No amount could be too small and anything would be greatly appreciated!
		This 6-lb., 7-yo baby HAS A BROKEN JAW, is emaciated from not being able to eat, living like that on the streets, high heart worm positive, has several mammary tumors down both sides of her tiny tummy, and this is just the worst that’s wrong. She’s scheduled for surgery to remove the tumors and a radical dental with the hope her jaw can be wired if her K9s can be saved. Please help us help Molly Sue by making a donation toward the expenses. No amount is too small or too large and anything will be greatly appreciated.
		Peanut and her brother Smokey were surrendered when Peanut sustained a back injury. Her family is stationed in Kuwait and the family was unwilling to deal with the injured dog and ATDR stepped in. Peanut is doing great after stem cells and will remain at Safari for Physical Therapy over the next few weeks. Please keep good thoughts and any donations are appreciated!
		*UPDATE* Rosie is continuing to do rehab at Safari. She has been getting lots of practice in the cart and under water treadmill. Any donation to her therapy would be greatly appreciated. Little Rosalie aka Rosie came to ATDR unable to walk. She’s now receiving Cold Laser Treatments and rehabilitation at Safari. ANY DONATION to her therapy would be greatly appreciated.
		BOSS is a diabetic dog that needs immediate eye surgery. He has traveled from Midland to Houston to undergo surgery at Gulf Coast with Dr. Hermann. UPDATE: Boss had a very successful bilateral cataract surgery and he can see! Thanks to all who donated and to his fosters for making this a reality! He is still under the care of Dr. Hermann but we hope for a positive release sometime this Fall. This boy deserves the best home ever!

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.
