Welcome to Dakota Dachshund Rescue!
Thanks for stopping by. Dakota Dachshund Rescue is a private all volunteer non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
Dakota Dachshund Rescue is a very small group of volunteers who really love the little wiener dogs. We work together to rescue abandoned, abused, and unwanted dachshunds and those that need rehoming because their owners just can't keep them anymore. We provide medical and behavioral care for them. We assist in placing them in loving homes and try to help work out transportation to get them to their new families.
We also promote education on the care and prevention of cruelty to animals, and urge all pet owners to spay and neuter their pets.

I RESCUED A HUMAN TODAY
Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.
I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid. As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.
As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life.
She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the pen bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship. A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.
Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes!
I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved! At least I could save one! Yes...
