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...
My name is Snoopy and DARE rescued me from the shelter in Jacksonville. My mom came to get me and we thought we had a home all lined up but when they saw that I was not able to go on long walks that didn't work out. I needed quite a bit of medical attention and Mama said she would adopt me. I've had 2 wonderful years so far with her and my health issues are all cleared up. I go with my mom to the antique store when she works because I am the official shop dog. I never bark and I like everybody including cats, other dogs, children, men and women. I am not your traditional dachshund I am an exceptional dachshund. And who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? I have learned to use the buttons to tell Mom when I need to go outside. We both follow What About Bunny on Facebook because that's where we learned about the talking buttons. So when mom it's snoozing away and it's getting too late in the morning and I need to go all I have to do is press the button and she wakes up and takes me out. I am such a smart dog.
