In loving memory of Carol Hirschi Jeske
 We are deeply saddened to share the passing of our dear friend and longtime ATDR volunteer, Carol Hirschi Jeske, on June 17, 2026.
During her many years with All Texas Dachshund Rescue, Carol coordinated the rescue, transport, veterinary care, and foster placement of countless dachshunds throughout the greater San Antonio, Seguin, and Rio Grande Valley areas. She was a tireless advocate for the breed and touched the lives of so many dogs, volunteers, shelter staff, and adopters across Texas.
Carol had recently retired to Florida with her husband, Bob Jeske, where her passion for helping dachshunds continued as she became involved in rescue in her new community.
Carol's kindness, dedication, and unwavering commitment to saving lives leave a lasting legacy. She will be deeply loved, greatly missed, and forever remembered by all of us at All Texas Dachshund Rescue.

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!

Louie was found abandoned in the courtyard of an apartment complex, unable to walk due to IVDD. For the past month, he's been receiving intensive treatment at Safari Veterinary Care Center, but he still has a long road to recovery.
His medical care has been costly, and ATDR needs your help. Every donation—no matter how small—helps provide the care Louie deserves.
Please consider donating today to help Louie and other dachshunds in need.

Sweet Gwen needs us right now.
This precious girl is facing serious medical challenges, including multiple mammary masses. One of them is extremely large — approximately 4–5 inches in diameter — and hangs from her lower abdomen, dragging behind her back legs. It makes walking difficult and sitting uncomfortable, and she’s clearly in need of urgent veterinary care.
Despite everything, Gwen is gentle and loving. She deserves relief from pain and a chance at comfort and healing.
All Texas Dachshund Rescue is stepping up for her — but we can’t do it without you. Her vet bills will be significant, and every single donation makes a difference. Truly, no gift is too small.
If you’re able, please consider helping ATDR give Gwen the care she so desperately needs. Let’s come together and show her she’s not alone.

Dragon was abandoned at a vets office after an episode of IVDD. This happy 7-8 year-old mini red male is now an ATDR dog and in the care of Safari where he had back surgery and will begin physical therapy soon! Please consider this special little guy and all the folks that have stepped up to help him! A donation towards his mounting expenses would really help! No amount is too small. |

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. Ernie is in a great foster home where he is using his cart and has wormed his way into his foster family's heart! |

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 resulting in serious spinal injuries. She’s now at Safari receiving costly stem cells, surgical decompression and other treatments, including rehab and physical therapy. 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. |

| 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. |
