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...
Mack and Murphy are red long haired mini dachshunds a little over a year old and from the same litter. Their mother, Taetum was only supposed to have 4 puppies; she ended up having 7. The studs name was Bernie and his owner ended up taking care of all the puppies due to Taetum becoming emaciated from trying to feed and take care of them. They came into the vet clinic where I worked, at 4 weeks old, because only one of the puppies would take a bottle. The veterinarian taught Bernie's owner how to tube feed the puppies. So, she tirelessly took care of the 7 puppies, by herself, until they were able to be adopted out at 8 weeks old. Since I met them at 4 weeks, I went over at least once a week to start bonding with them before I was finally able to take them home. They are the light of my life.
