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:
1. 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.
2. Procuring temporary foster homes and permanent new homes for rescued dachshunds that will provide a safe and nurturing home environment.
3. Ensuring no dachshund shall be adopted for the purposes of breeding or scientific/medical experimentation.
4. 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.
5. 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.

Pet's Story
Born on April 25, 2015 in Astatula, Florida. Mom is Dapple and Dad is black, long haired dachshund. Born as the runt and bow legged, I struggle daily to keep up with my siblings.
On June 27, 2015 my mommies went to a Birthday party at Uncle John's and and Anut Andrea's house in Astatula. Aunt Andrea asked my mommies if they wanted another dog. They kinda hesitated because they already had 3 dogs. Then they asked what kind of dog and Andrea told them I was a dachshund. Both of their eyes got big and ears perked up. Then they both asked how much was my other family asking for me... FREE Andrea said. So Auntie said she would call my other family to make sure that I was still available. Sure enough I was. Once she was off the phone Auntie said that my other family would be sending pictures to her so that my mommies could see what I looked liked and then told mommies that I am bow legged which means I walk funny. But they didn't care.
Mommy (Mandy) came with Andrea (Auntie) to come pick me up from my first family. I really didnt want to leave my K9 mommy and I was scared and not really sure what was going on. But i knew i was going to be just fine.
We went for a really long car ride (only 6 miles) back to Auntie's house to meet my Mama (Marie). She was so loving and didn't want to put me down. Even though I was scared and confused I felt very loved.
My journey will continue and I hope that you will follow me and my mommies as I grow and become a little stronger each day!
