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...
Meet Precious! She is a beautiful girl who will be 11 yrs old on December 1st. Precious came into DARE because she was diagnosed with Canine Megaesophagus and her owner decided she couldn’t care for her. This condition causes the esophagus to have a enlargement or bulge which interferes with the ability of the esophagus to contract and move food down to the stomach. In order for food to get to the stomach and not be expelled back out, Precious eats upright in a Bailey Chair then remains there for 40 minutes. DARE had many adoption applications for her but once I explained the condition and care involved, the potential adopters backed out. I officially adopted her on Mothers Day! Precious is more than just another pretty face!
