Dachshund Adoption Rescue and Education, Inc. (DARE) views its mission as increasing public awareness against animal cruelty and overpopulation while rescuing and re-homing displaced and unwanted dachshunds and dachshund mix dogs primarily throughout the North Central region of the state of Florida, in the Continental Unites States.
We do this by:- Rescuing and socializing abandoned, neglected, abused, orphaned and/or surrendered dachshunds and dachshund mixes by providing temporary safe shelter and medical/dental treatments as needed.
- Procuring temporary foster homes and permanent new homes for rescued dachshunds that will provide a safe and nurturing home environment.
- Ensuring no dachshund shall be adopted for the purposes of breeding or scientific/medical experimentation.
- Providing education to the public on the dachshund breed, puppy mills, and responsible pet guardianship including, but not limited to, humane animal care and spay/neuter practices.
- Displaying courtesy, respect and fellowship toward all volunteers in appreciation of services and support rendered to dachshund rescue and to promoting enhanced teamwork among all rescuers.

A little about me...
River is a sweet and tenacious boy. He loves cuddling with his Mommy, playing ball with his German Shepherd sister Luna and his favorite toy is his green rubber chicken which he tries to kill as much as he can. He has been with his Mommy since he was 10 weeks old and loves getting kisses on the cheeks. We came to live with Luna and her Mommy when River was 6 months old. Luna had been a hoarding dog of 400 and didn’t really know how to be a dog. She didn’t bark or play with toys or trust people at all. River came in with his big dog personality and taught her how to chase balls and not be afraid of the squeakers in toys but especially how to receive affection and lots of love from their humans. They are truly a bonded pair. You can tell how much Luna loves her little brother and how protective she is of him. He is really a special empathetic little boy who will lick the tears off your cheeks. I couldn’t have asked for a better little man than him. He’s everything I ever wanted in my first dog. He is greatly loved.
