Dachshund Rescue has been in existence for over 40 years and was originally a joint venture between the Dachshund Club and the Long Haired Dachshund Club. and is run by Dachshund enthusiasts who are committed to homing any Dachshund in need.

 It was decided in 2014 to apply to the Charity Commission for Rescue to become a registered charitable company and this was achieved in December 2014.

There is a Board of Trustees overseeing the work of the organisation and the day to day work is managed by our co-coordinators.

The reasons some of these dogs are available for rehoming are many. Some may be a "victim" of a divorce, others could have survived their owners, and some may have been in unsuitable homes.

The Dachshund Rescue tries to find the right home for the right dog in the U.K.
