Dachshund Rescue

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST: Below is a state-by-state list of Dachshund rescues, as well as some that operate nationwide.  Please scroll down to find a rescue that operates near you.  This list is provided strictly as a reference resource.  A rescue’s inclusion on this list is not intended as an endorsement.  As with anything else, visitors are expected to do their own research before choosing to work with any organization.

Also, I’d like to note that even though we are Doxie-crazy around here, we strongly encourage the support of any organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of all breeds and mixed breeds.  There are millions of dogs waiting in shelters and rescues that deserve a happily-ever-after.  There are millions more who will be put down, because no one stepped forward to be their angel.  Please consider adopting your next pet from a shelter or rescue near you.  For every pet adopted, it saves two animals – the one you adopted, and the one you made room for.  Also, if you have the means and the heart, please consider adopting a senior.  Seniors have so much love to give, but are often overlooked by adopters and the first to be euthanized (if they are in a kill shelter).

If you can’t adopt, foster…
If you can’t foster, donate…
If you can’t donate, volunteer…
If you can’t volunteer, spread the word…
Until they all have a home.

This list will be updated frequently, as I discover additional rescues.  If you know of any to add, please let me know.
