Wunderdog Rescue

We rescued Charlie from Dallas Animal Services and Adoption Center back in March and he has had a long journey with us. He was literally covered in more than 100 ticks the day we picked him up. His foster family took this in stride, removed all of them and cleaned him up. By the time they were done, his coat was gleaming. ✨

But then he faced the real setbacks…He is heartworm positive and as part of the treatment, he began a 4-week course of doxycycline. This is needed to eliminate bacteria and weaken the heartworms before getting injections. Unfortunately, he had a very rare adverse reaction to the medication, which caused his liver to malfunction.

We were able to get to the bottom of it and treat and repair his liver, but he lost so much weight while being sick that we had to put his heartworm treatment on hold.

Charlie is slowly putting on weight and we hope he’s able to continue heartworm treatment soon. In the meantime, he has learned how to be an indoor family pet — and how amazing humans can be.💗

Charlie is a bit mischievous, stubborn and d***y at times. But he’s also happy, playful, affectionate and an all-around joy to be around.

Since he’ll be in the rescue for a while longer, we decided to do a Wisdom Panel DNA test. We thought he was a golden/great Pyr mix. The results surprised us!

Charlie has had an entire team behind him on this journey. Thanks to the staff at Legacy Humane Veterinary Clinic, his foster Angela Scott Pélissié, and the donors who have stepped up to help with Charlie’s food and medical expenses. Thanks to Dallas DrDolittle and Blue Step dog training for their expertise as we worked through some of Charlie’s quirks.

Our community is amazing, we hope you'll continue to follow his journey and watch this shelter dog's life transformed by love, patience, and a second chance.

One of our living her best life! We rescued Cardy from a Texas shelter. She was found at a Dollar store filthy and covered in burrs. Heartworm positive. Her foster took the best care of her for 2 months while Cardy underwent heartworm treatment.

Now she’s loved and spoiled by her forever family and spends her days on the golf course!

This is why we do what we do. Thank you to everyone who supports our rescue! ❤️

Update: Adopted! 🎉

We are so excited to have another weiner dog join the rescue!

Jaxson is a 10-month-old mini dachshund and embodies everything we love about this breed. He’s playful, loves fetch and all toys. Fun and energetic. Sweet and seeks affection. Sometimes he gets sat on because he has a habit of getting on the sofa where you’re just about to land. 😂

He plays well with big dogs and small dogs. He’s getting neutered and vaccinated tomorrow and will be ready for his forever home! 💕

Foster needed 💕🐾

Looking for a foster in the north Dallas area for Sky. She’s an adorable 1 yr old poodle/cocker spaniel/golden retriever mix. About 45 pounds and spayed.

She’s sweet but can be a bit timid at first, especially around new dogs. Potty trained and crate trained.

Her owner went through a divorce and is trying to get back on her feet, so made the difficult decision to surrender Sky to Wunderdog Rescue.
