Welcome to Dachshund Rescue UK

Providing Emergency Fostering, Rehoming and Adoption.

Dachshund Rescue are a UK-based charity whose aim is to provide loving & permanent homes for Dachshunds whose owners, for whatever reason, can no longer keep them.

Dachshund Rescue UK have been in existence for over 40 years, we were originally a joint venture between the Dachshund Club and the Long-Haired Dachshund Club. In 2014 we became a registered charity.

Our board of trustees oversees the work and direction of the organisation and our UK-wide network of volunteer coordinators, and their teams help us to successfully rehome hundreds of Dachshunds every year.

Rehoming

If for whatever reason you’re unable to keep your Dachshund, we will help you find a new, loving, and permanent home for your beloved pet.

We know and understand that rehoming a dog is a difficult decision for anybody to make.

We successfully rehome hundreds of dachshunds every year.

Our experienced team of coordinators will work with you to find the perfect new home for your dog.

We prefer your dog to go from his existing home to a new forever home and this is what we’ll aim to do.

If there’s a need to act quickly, we can put your dog into the care of one of our temporary fosterers or at our HQ facility, while we identify their new adoptive home.

Once adopted, your dog will remain under the wing of Dachshund Rescue UK for the rest of his life.

If you are unsure and just want to talk it over that’s ok, rest assured we will never be critical of your reasons.

Emergency Fostering

We know and understand that handing a dog over to a rescue service is a difficult decision for anybody to make.

Our experienced team of fosterers and coordinators will work with you to find the perfect new home for your dog.

We provide two types of Fostering.

Fostering Prior to Rehoming

Our team of Emergency Fosterers allows us to rehome a dog quickly, if necessary, we can put them into foster care until their new forever home is found.

Temporary Foster in Times of Need

Sometimes it’s not the dachshund who finds himself in crisis, it’s the owner. This could be due to ill-health or any number of other reasons. We are happy to place your dachshund temporarily with one of our foster carers for a limited time.

Whether it’s for a brief time while you sort things out, or a permanent new home, we can help.

If you are unsure and just want to talk it over that’s ok, we’re not here to judge.

Claire who represents the Yorkshire area matched us with our first Daschund and made the whole process so smooth and professional. Our Reggie is an amazing little boy who is making himself at home well and truly! We’re so grateful to Claire for her ongoing advice and guidance she’s amazing! ❤️🐶
