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
This is Akira, I got Akira when he was six weeks old. She's been by my side ever since. She loves car rides, boat rides, planes rides and anything where either my parents or I are with her. She's a good traveler. She's been from Florida to New York to Maine in the car many times ( she's got miles on her ). She's extremely energetic and she always wants you to play with her, to throw her babies, which she has a ton of because mommy loves her bunches. About a year ago Akira woke up one day and couldn't move without screaming out in pain, we went to the vet immediately who then referred us to a neurologist. After an MRI we found out Akira had a slipped disc up toward her neck and also an auto immune disease neuritis ( where her nerves attack eachother ). She was put on a lot of meds and crate rest, and eventually the disc healed itself and the neuritis went into remission. A few months ago her neuritis sparked back up again. We are doing are very best again to put it back into remission. She is a very happy, loving, amazing best friend any girl could ask for.
