She likes to be in the same room as you are and will follow you around.

Meet Cosmos Finn. He and several others were were surrendered to a shelter. One of our volunteers saw them and asked if we could help. Cosmos is estimated to be 2 years old. and only 12 pounds. They are believed to be wire haired dachshund mixes. We were told possibly wire haired dachshund/schnauzer mixes. Cosmos was pretty shut down when he first went into his foster home but is coming out of his shell and showing his personality. He can be nervous/shy with meeting new people and may try to hide but once he warms up to you he is a love bug! He will be your shadow, he wants to have you in his sight.

Luna Belle is a 3-year-old girl who's been on a bit of a journey to find her forever home. After bouncing between several homes in her young life, she's still learning that not every stranger is a stranger forever. She can be a little wary of new people, especially men, but give this girl a little patience and a chance to feel safe and you might just become her whole world! Her foster mom only needed a day to win her over and now Luna is her shadow, personal cheerleader and professional kiss distributor! She celebrates her foster mom's return from work with happy dances and thinks mealtime is absolutely worth throwing a party over.

ABOUT ME

Bailey Boo is a 6-year-old sweetheart with a big personality and a whole lot of love to give! At 18.5–19 lbs, she's a little on the fluffy side (okay, maybe a lot!), so she's officially starting her weight-loss journey to get down to her goal weight.

Maxwell Cooper is a cute little 7 year old dachshund and chihuahua mix. He is white with some red, short hair. He weighs about 9 lbs. Max's owner passed away and he and his 2 brothers (not related) came to Diamond Dachshund Rescue. Max likes to be outside in the mornings before it gets too hot. He likes exploring the yard. He doesn't run and chase but likes to go where the other dogs are. Max came from a loving home and you can tell. Max loves laying on his foster mom's lap and napping. He is a cuddler and likes to be kissed. He sleeps on the big bed too! He really is a good and easy going boy!

Chloe Rae is an 9-month-old puppy who needed a miracle - and got one. After spending over eight agonizing hours trapped in a ditch, a hero rescuer brought her to safety, and arrangements were quickly made to bring her to DDRTX.

Look at this handsome frosty face! My name is CoCo Button, I weigh in at 8 lbs and I'm about 15 years old, but I'm young at heart!

I came to DDR after my mom was no longer able to care for me. My foster mom says I'm about the sweetest, most calm little guy she's ever seen. I have lots going for me....I'm house trained and crate trained, I can either sleep in the big bed or on my floor bed. I don't much care for playing with toys....I'm much more interested in my snacks! I get along with other pups but I'm not sure about cats. I would love to be in a home where someone is home much of the time as this is what I'm used to.

Rio Miles is a 13 pound Chi-weenie with the heart of a puppy and enough love to last a lifetime. Although the vet estimates he's around 2 years old, you'd never know it from his playful, goofy personality and endless enthusiasm for life. Rio loves to play with his toys--especially anything he can happily chew on--and while he's mostly learned that toys are for chewing, he still occasionally mistakes a sock for one. He's also an expert kisser and will happily shower you with affections until his tongue falls off! He's done great with dogs of all sizes. He knows how to use a dog door. When Rio was found he was underweight and covered in fleas, but those days are behind him.

Maddie Luna

Maddie is a loving, happy girl and with those piercing blue eyes and regal expression, also a striking beauty. She may still be a puppy, but she is proud of the following accomplishments:

Housetrained and uses the doggy door

Sleeps great in the big bed with her people

Rides well in the car

Knows “sit” and “down” and is working on other commands

Much improved leash walking

Meet Max, a shining star who's overcome incredible obstacles! At just 2 years old, he and his BFF Ruby were rescued from Animal Care Services in San Antonio, TX, where they only had each other. But Max's resilience and strength have carried him through dual eye entropion surgery and heartworm treatment, and he's emerged stronger than ever! His eye fur is growing back, and so is his confidence! After acing his veterinary checkup, Max is now a playful goofball who totes his toys around like precious treasures and plays tag with Ruby. Max weighs around 45 pounds and is a red Chow Chow. Max allows his foster to brush and bath him.

Meet Ruby, a radiant one-year-old masked red Chow Chow weighing 30 pounds, shining bright with an outgoing personality and an infectious enthusiasm for play! Toys are always a welcome delight in her world. Currently, Ruby is blossMeetoming in a private foster home with Max and the foster's own dogs, where she's demonstrated remarkable social skills, effortlessly connecting with her canine companions. While her interactions with felines are yet to be discovered, she's already won hearts with her comfort around adults and children. Ruby's health records are a testament to her well-being, with up-to-date spaying, heartworm testing, microchipping, and vaccinations, plus a sparkling clean bill of health from her recent vet visit.

Meet Chris, a Boxer-Lab Mix who is 3 years old and weighs 68 pounds. Taken in by a good Samaritan, Chris is chipped, neutered and current on all his vaccines.

Extremely well behaved and kennel trained, too. Chris is gentle with all. He is good with small dogs and a great playmate with dogs of all sizes. Chris also likes cats.

Beautiful Betty has a playful spirit, a loving heart, and a personality that's impossible to forget. When you first meet Betty, she may be a little shy and take some time to get comfortable. But once you've earned her trust, you'll discover a goofy, affectionate girl who absolutely loves being the center of attention. She'll happily soak up all the pets, praise, and love you can give, and she'll reward you with endless loyalty and companionship. One of Betty's favorite things in the world is water! Whether it's splashing in a kiddie pool, playing with a hose, or finding a puddle to explore, Betty is always ready for a little aquatic adventure.

This funny looking guy is CHARLIE, a 15 pound, 3 year old miniature poodle. His colors may look different but it just makes him unique. His curly coat is soft and he takes a bath well and does well at the groomers
CHARLIE was owner surrendered to us by a young lady who could not take care of him any longer. I am told he gets along with cats but I do not have any so I cannot vouch for that.
He is full grown and will not get any bigger. He gets along with the other foster dogs and plays well with everyone. He does like to hang around me but he is also independent, just happy roaming around the house and laying on a doggy bed and watching the activities.
If you are interested in adopting CHARLIE please submit an application on the website below. Feel free to call anytime. Thank you.

This little cutie is MILO, 10 pounds and 6 months old Maltipoo. We do not expect him to exceed 13 pounds as an adult. His coat is cotton soft and his temperament is just as soft. A kind hearted and playful little guy who gets along with all of the foster dogs. I do not have cats so I am not sure how he would behave around them.
MILO was found hiding in the bushes by Good Samaritans and turned into ACS, our very high kill shelter. I immediately stepped forward to rescue him and I am so happy. MILO is the type that just makes your heart melt. It is the cutest thing to watch him sit on his butt and beg you to come pet him. He sleeps with me and I barely know he is there because he doesn't move or get in the way.
If you are interested in adopting MILO, please submit an application on the website. Feel free to call anytime or leave a text message. Thank you.

FREDA is a 9 month old, 9 pounds terrier of some sort. We really cannot figure out what she is mixed with. I probably should do a DNA test on her. She looks just like her mother who is a few pounds smaller. FREDA was owner surrendered as the pregnancy was an accident litter.
The word that comes to me when I think about FREDA is "soft", her coat is soft, her attitude/temperament is soft, she takes treats soft, she plays soft and her overall behavior is just soft. She is a sweetheart of a dog who plays with all of the other foster dogs, she is kind of submissive but not timid as she wrestles and can hold her on while playing.
FREDA loves everyone, gives kisses and loves to snuggle even when there is really no space around my legs, she squeezes in and find a spot! I will have to get better pictures of her but she is always moving and playing.

CISCO is ready for his own home and what a sweet boy you will be getting. He is 3 years old and a mere 14 pounds and fully grown. Just a sweet guy who wants love and loves nothing better than hanging out with his human. Although CISCO is in a home with other dogs, he can be dog selective and for that reason we are asking that he be the only dog in the home.
He gets along great with small kids, he plays and gives soft kisses.
He walks well on a leash and rides in the car without getting sick. He obeys well and is crate trained. Because there are several dogs in the home he is crated when there are no adults in the home so we are not sure how he does left alone on his own but he is not a chewer and does not bother things that are not dog related.
CISCO would love to have a human to give him attention and love and he will reward you with devotion and gratitude.

Looking for a fabulous family dog? Look no further, DUKE is your dude!!! Seriously this is a great family pet who loves kids and his people. We are in disbelief at his cool and calm temperament, soooo cool and calm. He has been tested around some dogs that are dog reactive and bark, bark, bark. DUKE never flinches or acknowledges they are even there, they get in his face and DUKE just turns around and goes in the other direction.
DUKE is 4 years old and 80 pounds, a few pounds underweight but he is making up for it. DUKE was found in a subdivision next to his own subdivision. He is microchipped and every attempt was made to reach his family by social media, phone, text and even visited his home but they would not respond.
