2. Cosmos Finn
2 Years · Male · Dachshund / Mixed · 21 mi from Elmendorf








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.
Read more about Cosmos Finn
He is good with other dogs and is already playing with the dogs in his foster home. He will just need a home that gives him a little time to warm up and to understand he has been through a lot but is totally worth the wait. Another playful confident dog would help him to trust quicker and someone that is home more often would be good too. Cosmos is housebroken, loves snuggles and his kennel is his safety place when needed. He might be ok with older kids that will give him a little time, not sure he would do well with littles. If he sounds like the dog for you, put your application in today!

3. Luna Belle
Adult (3 years 9 months) · Female · Dachshund (short coat) · 21 mi from Elmendorf










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.
Read more about Luna Belle
When she isn't busy being the world's most enthusiastic fan, she's more than happy to curl up for some quality snuggle time. Luna gets along with other small dogs and enjoys having friends to play with, but she's just as content soaking up one-on-one time with her favorite human. She's also working on her potty training as she adjusts from apartment life to living in a house. What Luna wants most is a place to finally call home--a family who understands that trust takes time and is willing to help her discover that new people can bring good things, too. She may need a little extra patience when meeting strangers but the love she gives in return is something special. Could you be the person who shows Luna Belle that she's finally home for good?

Adult (3 years 7 months) · Female · Dachshund (short coat) · 21 mi from Elmendorf










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.
Read more about Bailey Boo
Bailey knows what she likes and isn't afraid to show it! She does well in large crowds and will try to steal some attention from you or your guests! She's an absolute sweetheart and cuddle bug with the people she knows and loves. With that being said, she is a little more reserved and may take a little longer to warm up with men. She's great with dogs of all sizes and enjoys having other pups around. She need at least one dog friend that will keep her company when you are busy or gone from home. She's also comfortable sleeping in a kennel with other dogs or alone and seems to do well with potty training so far!
We're still figuring out how she feels about cats, but she may be a little intimidated by them. Bailey is looking for a loving home that understands she may need a little time to warm up. In return, you'll get a devoted little girl who loves attention, enjoys the company of other dogs, and has plenty of personality to keep you smiling!

7. Chloe Rae
Adult (9 months) · Female · Dachshund / Basset Hound / Mixed (short coat) · 21 mi from Elmendorf









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.
Read more about Chloe Rae
Following a long trip from South Texas, Chloe Rae went straight to our vet. Along with her puppy shots, microchip, and heartworm preventative, her X-rays revealed the source of her severe pain and limp: multiple pelvic fractures and a broken femur. To give her the best chance at a pain-free life, she underwent a Femoral Head Osteotomy (FHO) surgery after letting her fractures heal for a month. Her surgery was a success. We know what you're thinking... but we believe she is a "bashund" - basset on the outside, dachshund on the inside! At 22 pounds of pure sweetness, Chloe Rae loves cuddling, exploring, and playing with her foster dog brother (a DDRTX alum!) and foster cat sister. She’s already learned to sit, wait patiently for her meals, walk nicely on a leash, and sleep soundly in her kennel (though she certainly won't turn down a nap in the big bed). She is still working on housetraining. Since she has come into rescue, she was confined with limited movements until surgery and then again while recovering. She was confined for awhile and we had to give her time to heal before worrying about everything else. She has learned so much already!

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.

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.

Adult · Poodle (Miniature) (medium coat) · 27 mi from Elmendorf




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.

Young · Maltese / Poodle (Toy) / Mixed (medium coat) · 27 mi from Elmendorf



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.

18. Freda
Young · Female · Border Terrier / Norfolk Terrier / Mixed (medium coat) · 27 mi from Elmendorf




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.
Read more about Freda
She would make a great family dog, she will remain a small breed scruffy dog.
There are no cats in the home so we do not know how she would get along with them but she is just super soft so we cannot imagine her not getting along with a cat, she'll probably try to play with a cat.
If you would like to adopt FREDA, please submit an application on the website below. Feel free to call me anytime. Thank you.

19. Cisco
Adult · Male · Poodle (Miniature) (medium coat) · 27 mi from Elmendorf




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.
Read more about Cisco
He does very well being groomed and bathed and he will need to have his curly coat groomed every 6-8 weeks.
The home does not have any cats so we are not sure how he would do with them. If you are interested in adopting CISCO, please submit an application on the website below. Thank you.

20. Duke
Adult · Male · Rottweiler (short coat) · 27 mi from Elmendorf




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.
Read more about Duke
So we are like okay let us see why they no longer want DUKE. But DUKE is perfect really a perfect pet. In several weeks we have not found any faults except he just loves to hang with his humans and that is a great fault.
He is not aggressive in any area and do not resource guard things or humans and of course he gets along with everyone. He had a growth on his eye that has been removed and that is why his right eye looks a little hinky. He is healthy in all areas, walks great on a leash without pulling, just walks right beside you at your pace and he rides in a car without getting sick, jumps right in.
If you want to spend your days hanging out with a happy companion pet, DUKE is your guy. If you are interested in adopting DUKE, please submit an application on the website below or contact his foster mom. Thank you.

Adopting a dog in Elmendorf
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
