Dachshund Rescue Alliance was founded in 2025 with a simple but powerful goal: to bring greater visibility, connection, and support to dachshund rescues around the world. The idea began with a longtime volunteer and foster parent who recognized a growing need—there was no centralized place to find, connect with, or learn about dachshund-specific rescues, especially for those looking to adopt, foster, or donate.
Over the years, while working with multiple rescue organizations, it became clear that many groups operate in isolation. With limited resources and growing demand, they needed more than just good intentions—they needed a network.
That’s where the Alliance comes in.
This site was created as a resource hub: a way to connect rescues, share best practices, and help the public easily find reputable dachshund rescue organizations near them—or across the globe. Whether you’re looking to adopt your first dachshund, support rescue work with a donation, or simply learn more about the breed and the people dedicated to saving them, Dachshund Rescue Alliance is here to help.
We may be just getting started, but we’re building something long-lasting—grounded in community, collaboration, and a shared love for these long, loyal, and often stubborn little dogs.
We Need Your Voice
If you’ve been involved in dachshund rescue, your experience matters. Your stories, tips, and hard-won knowledge can help others navigate the same challenges—whether it’s fostering, fundraising, transport, or behavior quirks unique to the breed. We encourage you to log in, share your insight, and become part of a growing network dedicated to supporting dachshunds everywhere.
Together, we can make a difference—not just for individual dogs, but for the entire dachshund rescue community. Let’s help each other, so we can help more dogs.
