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...
Cooper was found in a rural shelter and transported to a local rescue in Charlotte. He was 9 pounds, frail and had horrible tooth decay. I got him healthy and fell in love. It didn't take long for me to adopt him. He helped both me and my other dachshund heal from a loss of a loved one. He would have won any snuggle championship!!
This July I had headshots taken for work and Cooper was with me. Luckily I got a few of him too. This picture is from that photo shoot and encompasses his pure spirit.
He passed unexpectedly just 4 days later after an emergency surgery. I cherish him and am so thankful that someone rescued him and he came into my life as a foster and stayed in my heart forever.
