Please note that we do not have a public shelter facility or a public phone number. Our dogs are kept in private foster homes. If you are interested in meeting our dogs, please fill out our adoption application and someone will contact you about the adoption process.
Surrendering your dachshund
If you have adopted a dog from CTDR and are no longer able to keep it, you MUST return the dog to CTDR according to the terms of your adoption contract. E-mail our rescue coordinator to make arrangements.
Our priority in rescue is saving dachshunds in need from kill shelters. We rarely have room for owner surrenders or mixed breed dogs. In some cases, relinquishment can be avoided. We recommend seeking the advice of a local veterinarian and/or dog trainer if your dog is having behavioral issues. Petfinder.com and other web sites offer basic training advice. Our rescue links page lists other dachshund rescue groups and our links page offers more resources. Read more points to consider before rehoming your dog.
If you found a dachshund
Thank you for helping a lost dachshund. Please contact your local animal control agency to file a report. We also suggest posting found notices and contacting area vets. The dog may have a microchip and most vets and shelters can determine if it does. It is important to try to locate a dog's owner and CTDR cannot accept a dog without a clear transfer of ownership.
