"Misfits"

Why aren't they dachshunds?!?

Sometimes, we are contacted about doxies in need of rescuing, and they are with one or two other dogs .... in the same terrible situation. How can we turn our backs on these pups? We can't. Yes, our main priority is rescuing senior and special needs dachshunds, but sometimes we take in younger, adoptable fur babies, and when needed, we take in other breeds.

Bullet

Some of you have heard his story and know of his miraculous escape from death. If you don’t know about him, though, we’d like to introduce you to Bullet! While he’s not a Dachshund, he’s a very special resident here at the Sanctuary, and we are so glad that we could help him along in his journey. (Also… check out his ears!)

If you have room in your heart and your home for Bullet, please fill out an adoption application form.

AUGGIE

Current Status: Adoptable
Age: 6
Pug mix, tan
Potty trained

Auggie was rescued from a shelter just before being euthanized. At 6 years old, he is still exploring the world like a curious puppy. He’s not a fan of being crated, and he loves to ride shotgun in the car. This pup will do better as the only pet, or possibly with one other sibling, as he enjoys getting attention.

disco

Current Status: Adoptable
Date of Birth: May 6, 2025
Dachshund/terrier mix
White with tan spots

Disco is the tan-spotted wonder of the litter, and like his name suggests, he’s got a little sparkle already. Born roadside after his mom, Perdita, was rescued mid-labor in Crockett, TX. Disco is one of three pups who beat the odds after their small group was abandoned. Perdita and her puppies were taken in, fostered with love, and then brought to Gardendale to grow and thrive.

Disco is still young, but he’s observant, wiggly, and full of promise. He would love a forever home that’s as ready to dance through life as he is.
