We are an entirely volunteer based 501(c)(3) organization whose sole purpose is to bring the breed we love, Dachshunds, together with loving forever families. We are able to rescue and re-home dogs entirely through our foster network.

Won't you consider  Adopting , Fostering , Donating , or Volunteering so we can save as many of these amazing animals as possible.  

MinnieMo was a special little angel, and her adopted parents were blessed with the incredible gift of loving her for two short but meaningful months. Though her time with them was brief, the love she gave and received was deep, real, and life-changing.

Before rescue, MinnieMo endured a hard and unfair life. By the time she was finally safe, heartworms had already caused devastating damage to her tiny body. Despite treatment and the extraordinary efforts of Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists, the damage to her heart, lungs, and kidneys was too severe to heal. There was no cure for what neglect had done.

What makes the loss even harder is that MinnieMo had just begun to know The Good Life of soft beds, gentle hands, safety, and love. She was learning what it meant to be cherished. She was her Mom's constant shadow, never far away, always close, always trusting.

MinnieMo’s story is a cry from the heart to anyone who has a dog: please take care of them. Dogs are a precious gift from God. They rely on us for everything, especially for their health and protection. Monthly heartworm prevention is simple, affordable, and lifesaving. Without it, heartworms cause unimaginable suffering, slowly ravaging every vital organ and stealing lives far too soon.

MinnieMo did not deserve the pain she endured, but she did know love at the end. She left this world wrapped in kindness, dignity, and compassion. That love goes with her across the Rainbow Bridge, where her body is whole, her heart is strong, and she runs free at last.

Run free, sweet MinnieMo.

You were loved beyond measure, and you will never be forgotten.

DROH is in need of Sponsors, Volunteers, and Fosters. Through your generosity we are able to rescue so many wonderful pups.
