Who we are

Alberta Dachshund Rescue (ADR) is made up of a group of dog lovers from across the province of Alberta who focus their efforts on matching dachshunds in need with families who will love them forever.

More hands make the work lighter and enable us to help more dogs! ADR is always looking for people interested in fostering, helping out at events, or making a donation to the rescue.

THE ADR Crowdfunding campaign!


A Heartfelt Thank You from Alberta Dachshund Rescue! 🐾
ADR is excited to share that thanks to your incredible support, we surpassed our crowdfunding goal of $10,000, raising a total of $10,220! 🎉 On top of that, the Alberta Government generously provided $3,603 in matching funds, bringing the total raised to $13,823!

Some years can be overwhelming for Alberta Dachshund Rescue with the number of dachshunds that are surrendered with Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD). Of the 29 dachshunds surrendered in 2022, eight had IVDD. That is almost one third of the dogs surrendered!
