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...
Both of these dogs were DARE foster dogs. Judge Judy was surrendered because she was getting older and “was too much trouble”. Although now blind, she is sweet and loving. Her favorite thing is to sleep in the big bed and snuggle with Sam. Semi Sam was found as a stray and weighed a whopping 33 pounds. He also had serious ear infections but his tail never stopped wagging. He lost 17 pounds (that’s a whole dog!) but the initial weight caused back issues and he eventually had IVDD surgery. His tail still wags all the time. His one true passion, besides Judy, is killing squeaky toys. Old dogs rule!
