Rescue Dachshunds

The Dachshund Club of Victoria, Inc. Rescue was set up to aid Dachshunds that have been surrendered by their owners for various reasons. Owners die or become ill, relatives and friends cannot take on the responsibility of caring for the dog. Some dogs are impounded and owners cannot be traced. In most cases the dogs simply need re-housing into new homes.

We have good communication with all the rescue providers in our State and rescue any dachshund found in the lost dog homes.

The Rescue Co-ordinator’s organise to have the dog delivered, vet checked and housed until a suitable home can be arranged. Usually a small donation to the DCV is required from the new owners.

A Rescue Dog will give its new owner many years of devotion and joy!

We also help to place older dogs who have finished their Show Careers and Breeding Cycles.

Dachshunds are very quick to relate to their new owners. As long as they are well fed and treated with kindness, their loyalty immediately transfers to a new owner.

If you do not want the responsibility of a young puppy but you would like a Dachshund, then a Rescue Dog or an older Dachshund are options you may consider.
