Dachshund Rescue South Florida

Giving every long dog a forever home since 2009, Dachshund Rescue South Florida is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, all-volunteer, foster-based rescue organization headquartered in Weston. The group is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming purebred Dachshunds and Dachshund mixes surrendered by owners, abandoned on the streets, or pulled from municipal shelters throughout Broward County and South Florida.

Because Dachshunds are prone to breed-specific health challenges such as intervertebral disc disease and dental disease, Dachshund Rescue South Florida invests heavily in specialized veterinary diagnostics, back surgeries, physical rehabilitation, dental care, heartworm treatment, spay-and-neuter surgery, vaccinations, and microchipping. Every dog recovers in an experienced volunteer foster home where their temperament and daily needs are carefully assessed. Foster caregivers experienced with the dachshund breed monitor each dog's back health, mobility, and personality around other pets to ensure a safe, well-matched placement.

Prospective adopters submit a detailed online application and complete a veterinary reference check, phone interview, and virtual or in-person home visit to ensure a safe, Dachshund-friendly environment. Supporters across Broward County can participate in annual Doxie community events, apply to foster, or make a tax-deductible donation. From playful young dachshund mixes to bonded pairs and gentle seniors, Dachshund Rescue South Florida stands behind every adopted dog with lifetime breed support.
