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...
Penny was adopted from Dare in Dec 2012 when she was 3 after we had lost our first DARE rescue, Emmi. We were lucky to pick her up straight from the vet after her spay. She had picked up kennel cough in the shelter so she went straight to our vet. She bonded immediately with my senior dachshund, Apache, although it took Apache a few days. Penny is the only one of my dachshunds since 1980 that I struggle with maintaining a good weight. To say food driven is an understatement! She is a superb food thief. She gets the least amount of food compared to the others in my pack and I still have to watch her weight like a Hawk. Like my other 2 Mom’s lap is her happy place.
