Kimberly Mann was a valued long-time, dedicated All Texas Dachshund Rescue volunteer in Houston, being one of ATDR’s best and most experienced foster parents for many years, opening her home and heart and successfully rehabbing countless precious dachshunds. Very sadly, she unexpectedly entered the gates of Heaven by way of the Rainbow Bridge in early September. Kimberly was an inspiration and mentor to countless rescuers, being an integral part of ATDR, contributing to its success in saving so many four-legged lives. She was always ready and willing to provide a place for the next one…seeing them along on their journey to better health and ultimately the happiness of a forever home. Kimberly leaves behind her mother, a sister and two beloved nephews in addition to countless friends who loved her and will miss her upbeat personality and the laughter and tears shared over the little long dogs which will be a precious memory now to all who knew her. Godspeed dear Kimberly, you will be severely missed, but your mark on this world, zest for life and passion for animals will live on in our hearts… If you would like to make a memorial donation, please click here, use the donate button on the left or mail a check or money order to ATDR at the address P.O. Box 841336, Pearland, TX 77584. Please note that your donation is in memory of Kimberly Mann.

Check out these ten adorable, adoptable sweet Seniors. Beginning today, we are launching our “Summer of Seniors” Promotion. We would love to see these precious senior sweeties find a loving forever home to call their own, where they can enjoy their twilight years to the fullest! Many of these sweet fur babes are frisky, fun and still playful as pups, while others are perfectly content to snuggle up with you and just be couch potatoes! Now through the end of September, we have reduced our Senior adoption fee in an effort to facilitate their chances at finding a loving forever home! 8 - 10 year olds are available for only $200 and those over 10 years old are just $150! Of course all are fully vetted, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, current on monthly heart worm preventative and micro chipped! These “kids” are ready and waiting for you to bring them home and give them a second chance at life and love! If you are looking for a sweet senior to call your own, please visit https://www.atdr.org/info/adoption to find our application to adopt and remember, a senior dog has years of experience in the fine art of companionship! If you’re on the fence about adopting a senior, please consider the following positive points... Many already know what it’s like to share a home with kids or other furry friends They are less likely to chew your shoes or leave “accidents” on the floor Most seniors are familiar with basic obedience commands Seniors are a lot calmer since the antics of youth are far behind them Most will usually sleep soundly through the night Seniors really appreciate you! These dogs may have just lost their loved one(s), may have been abandoned, strays on the street or surrendered by the only family they’ve ever known, making them much more grateful for your love and attention than their younger counterparts



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. Please click here for more information.

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


		Sweet, loving paralyzed boy, sadly lost his home due to a family move. Much needed personal and veterinary care for pups like Cash is very costly, but thanks to generous, caring people like you, ATDR can give them the quality in life and health they deserve. Please go to the Donate button or mail a check or money order to the P. O. Box at the top of the page…nothing could be too small and any amount would be greatly appreciated.
		Detached retinas rendering him blind…receiving costly treatment and care for this and other health issues. Please help ATDR help Blue by making a donation of any size…nothing could be too much or too little and any amount is greatly needed and 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.
		Rescued from a shelter with an Aurel hematoma, heart worm positive and badly in need of a dental. Life-saving surgeries and the veterinary care Sparky has been needing are very costly…if you would like to help ATDR help Sparky, please make a donation. No amount could be too small and anything would be greatly appreciated.
		UPDATE: Prayers for Molly Sue are greatly appreciated right now. Her back leg was amputated since she has bone cancer. 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.

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.
