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...
Ruger was found soaking wet in a Dunkin’ Donuts parking lot in August of 2014. She was turned into the county pound just in case her family was looking for her. When no one returned to claim her, her forever mom adopted her and the pound was so happy to be relieved of this little tyrant, she was “free of charge”. Well, I, her mom, quickly learned nothing is free! But Ruger quickly became the apple of her eye and the largest part of her heart! Ruger also hates everyone (even her daddy) but loves her mom only! Ruger is a 4x National Dachshund Racing Champion because she is “CRAZY” fast to be back in her moms arms, or it’s the vanilla cup cake…it’s hard to know for sure! This here is one of Ruger’s famous Facebook posts titled “If 2020 had a face”! Ruger is beloved by thousands of Facebook fans with her “loving” smile and “killer” attitude. She hopes you will enjoy this rescue calendar with her as the face of October…her favorite time of the year!
