Lady lost the only home she had ever known because of health issues when she was surrendered to an animal shelter by her owner. When ATDR was contacted, of course we said yes and set the wheels in motion to bring her from East Texas down to the Houston/Pearland area to our rescue vet specialists. This sweet girl has experienced discomfort from seizures and a growth on her head and ATDR vowed to spare no efforts with trying to improve her health. 

12.2.24 Update: Lady had her ear tumor removed, along with 12 teeth, two weeks ago. She has recovered and bounced back very well. Her left ear skin was pulled tight by stitches after the tumor removal so now the ear stands upright. We're not sure if that will be permanent but it gives Lady some cute character. Unfortunately, the tumor turned out to be mass cell so, sadly, it is likely to return. 

Lady is one spunky old lady. She doesn't act her age at all. Lady is still out here livin' and lovin' life. She enjoys being outside. She is highly food/treat motivated. And she enjoys lounging on the couch for TV time. Lady is actually the dominant female in her foster home.

4.9.25 Update: This precious girl has true dachshund attitude…she’s devoted to her human, loves to be in your lap or nearby. She does great in the big bed with humans or left in her own little bed, knows how to use a doggy door and has never had an accident inside. She’s a good girl and doesn’t chew on anything that is not hers.

Lady would do best in a home without kids to deal with. She’d be OK with a small dog pack (one older/low energy dog…size of a doggy friend wouldn’t matter). She’d also be fine as an only dog. If you have no children and you’re looking for a sweet companion and best friend to warm your heart and your lap, please submit an adoption application for Lady. She’ll quickly fill that spot in your life that only a good pup can...
