There are dachshund rescue groups across the USA. They’re devoted to rescuing any dachshund that has been abandoned or given up, for whatever reason. Sometimes these organizations also have puppies you can adopt.
Often the dogs they have are over the age of 2. Some are in perfect health; some may have health problems. The reputable rescue organizations tell you everything about the dogs’ medical and family history before you adopt.
Here’s a list of some. Contact us if you know of others we should add! Dachshund Joy™ does not endorse any organizations in particular. So please do your due diligence and make sure they’re reliable before you adopt. A great way to do that is to check reviews on Google.
