Meet Woody! 

Woody is a handsome 4-year-old, 15-pound red long-haired Dachshund who has already been through more than any dog should. He came to the shelter as a stray, sadly dragging his feet and struggling to walk normally. He spent almost a month waiting for someone to come for him, and thankfully, Dachshund Rescue of Houston did!

Woody is now safe and resting comfortably in a loving foster home. He can walk, although he still has a funny gait, so for now he is enjoying some well-deserved Kennel rest to give his body the time it needs to heal completely.

Despite everything he has been through, Woody hasn&#39;t let it dampen his spirits. He is a fun, friendly, affectionate boy who loves nothing more than being close to his people. He is a wonderful lap dog and especially enjoys being cuddled and rocked like a baby.

Woody is housetrained, crate trained, leash trained, and does well in the car. He is playful and goofy, but also obedient, intelligent, eager to please, gentle, and even-tempered. He enjoys attention and affection and seems to have a naturally sweet disposition. We believe Woody could be a wonderful addition to a home with children, older adults, and other friendly dogs.

For now, Woody&#39;s job is simple: rest, heal, get healthy, and enjoy being loved. Once his body catches up with his happy spirit, we think this special boy is going to make someone an absolutely wonderful companion.

Woody has waited long enough for someone to choose him. Now he just needs a family who will give him the love and patience he deserves.

Meet Knox Oath!&nbsp;

At just 1 year old and 16 pounds, Knox Oath is a bundle of energy, curiosity, and playful puppy charm! This busy boy wants to know what you&rsquo;re doing at all times, and if you&rsquo;re touching something, you can bet he&rsquo;ll have his nose right there to investigate. Getting dressed can be an adventure with Knox around!

Knox LOVES, loves, loves to play, especially with squeaky toys! He also enjoys running the fence with the neighbor dogs in the backyard and would do well with a playful canine companion who can help him burn off some of that energy.

Knox seems to be house-trained, with just one accident on his first day, and he has already learned to use the doggie door. He was pretty wound up during his first few nights, but he&rsquo;s beginning to settle into his new routine. With consistency, patience, and continued training, this smart boy should keep making progress.

Knox has occasionally shown some food or toy guarding, growling when he feels the need to protect something. While he has not bitten, this is something his future family will need to take seriously and work on through positive-reinforcement training and appropriate management.

Knox is looking for an active family ready for fun, games, and the commitment to help him learn his manners. He has plenty of energy to spare, a curious nose that never quits, and lots of playful personality packed into his 16-pound body. And when playtime is over? He&rsquo;s happy to be a lap dog, too!

If you&rsquo;re looking for a lively little sidekick who will keep you smiling and keep you on your toes, Knox Oath might just be your perfect match!

Meet Petey!&nbsp;

Petey is a 3-year-old, 14-pound bundle of joy with a smile that can brighten anyone&#39;s day. This handsome little guy had a rough start after being found as an injured stray. Because of his injury, his tail had to be docked, but don&#39;t let that fool you. If Petey isn&#39;t sleeping, he&#39;s wagging what he has left with pure happiness!

Life as a beloved pet is still a new adventure for Petey, and he&#39;s embracing it one day at a time. He has a big appetite and not just for food, but for love and attention, too. He adores being close to his people and is happiest curled up in a lap or soaking up affection. He&#39;s eager to please, even-tempered, and has been described by the veterinary staff as a &quot;super sweet, happy boy.&quot;

Like many former strays, Petey hasn&#39;t quite forgotten that food can be scarce. He&#39;s an enthusiastic little trash scavenger, so keeping tempting snacks and garbage out of reach will help set him up for success. With consistency and patience, he&#39;s continuing to learn what it means to be a cherished family member.

Petey can be a little protective when first meeting new people, but once he realizes you&#39;re a friend, his sweet and affectionate nature shines through. He rides well in the car, gets along with other dogs, is great with adults, and is always ready to be your loyal sidekick.

Petey has overcome a difficult beginning and is now looking for the happy ending he deserves. If you&#39;re searching for a devoted companion with a heart as big as his smile, Petey is ready to wag his way right into your life.

Petey is proof that sometimes the sweetest souls just need someone to give them a second chance.
