About Alberta Dachshund Rescue (ADR)

Alberta Dachshund Rescue is a non-profit organization with the purpose of rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing dachshunds in need. With a network of experienced rescue people, their dream is a time when every dachshund in Alberta has a loving home for its entire life. Founded in 1999, they have been finding loving forever homes for dachshunds for over 25 years! That’s a lot of happy adorable dachshunds!

They do their best to support and work with owners to help them keep their dogs. In cases where that is not possible, they take the dogs to rehome. They work at the dog’s pace – knowing some cases take longer than others. To learn more about what they do, visit their website at www.albertadachshundrescue.com
