Dachshund Rescue of South Florida is a foster based 501(c)(3) rescue who helps hotdogs regardless of age, health, or behavioral issues find new homes after being in a shelter, as a stray out on the streets, or owner surrendered.
We take our work very seriously and screen our potential forever families thoroughly to ensure that our dogs will never have to worry or want for anything ever again.
Our mission is to educate people who may be unfamiliar with rescue and the time, love, and compassion that goes into identifying a little one in a shelters through getting them settled into their new forever home and why choosing to rescue a dog can be one of the most rewarding things a family can choose to do.
If you are looking to add a dachshund to your family we would love to work with you. We have done our best to help explain the process and share some our favorite "happy tales" from our former dogs with their new forever families. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and we are looking forward to meeting you!

Hi, my name is Yael and things are starting to look up for me! It has been a tough couple months...my first family gave me away over the internet and didn't properly interview my new family that was taking me to make sure they know about how delicate doxie backs are. They seemed like nice enough people but they let me jump on and off the furniture. A couple weeks ago, I took a big jump down off the couch and sometthing terrible happened as my legs stopped working. It hurt so bad...my new family didn't know
what to do so I sat there, paralized for almost a week, in pain while they tried to figure something out. They finally found DRSF who said that they had wonderful doctors who could maybe help me. Their doctrs are so wonderful, they even waited for me late on a Friday to rush me into surgery. I thought once I had my operation my family would want me back, but for a 2nd time in such a short while, I had my family turn my back on me.

I was very scared and feeling very alone, but then things got a bit better! I heard the doctors talking on the phone with DRSF about a wonderful Foster Mom who had experience in working with doxies like me who had filled out a form and answered all kinds of questions just to be able to take care of me! She knows about things like hydro therapy and accupuncture and I heard them say that she spent 5 years helping her little doxie who was just like me and that she was
even willing to drive all the way to Miami to come get me! I had some other very nice visitors from DRSF come to see me in the hospital and make sure I was tucked in nice and warm and they held me and told me that everything would be ok. Soon it was time to leave and Liz came to get me and help me start my new life. It is going to be a lot of work, but with so many people caring for me, I know I will walk again. I know we have just met, but I am so grateful to DRSF for helping me that I would like to ask you if you might consider making a donation to them so that when the next doxie who comes along who needs help like me, that they will have the resources to help them too. Even small donations like $5 help as they all add up and helps DRSF to do the work that they love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Love, Yael
