Hello Fans of DDRT,
As we all have been watching the continuous photos and videos from Hurricane Harvey destroying parts of Texas and Louisiana, we all have this urge of wanting to help all of those in need. One of the silent victims from this tragedy are the animals who cannot fend for themselves and are lost without their owners and loved ones. We were lucky enough to provide new homes for dogs who were already in the shelter prior to the hurricane hitting. With the coordination of other local Colorado shelters and rescues, a plane from Wings of Rescue flew in 100 dogs in total from the Texas and Louisiana area. Denver Dachshunds Rescue and Transport were able to provide 10 dachshund and dachshund mixes a new rescue home in Colorado. Jamie Roberson, our founder can be seen unloading the plane in the red shirt with our other volunteer Jenny in the blue t-shirt, and Brad in the orange tennis shoes. The DDRT dogs are labeled with the pink tape on the front top of the kennels.

By vacating the dogs that were previously taking up spots in shelters, it helped saved lives of many pets who were then lost and confused in the aftermath of Harvey. The lost Harvey pets now had a temporary safe place within the now empty local shelters giving their owners time to find them. So now continue to help us help them, by donating some of the items below, so that we can transfer the donations down to shelters and rescues who were devastated by flood waters.
- Dry and Wet Food
- Pet Beds
- Used/New Towels, Blankets, & Linens
- Treats
- Toys
- Bowls
- Cleaning supplies (Clorox, antibacterial spray & wipes, mops, paper towels, etc.)
- Disposable Gloves
- Collars, harnesses, and leashes
- Cat Litter
- Potty Pads
