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.

How Alberta dachshund rescue cares

Looking to adopt?

If you are interested in adopting a dachshund from ADR, here is all of the information that you will need to get the process started!

NEED TO SURRENDER?

Sometimes owners are forced to surrender their dog through circumstances beyond their control. Please read more on how ADR might be able to help.

​WANT TO HELP?

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.
This last year has been overwhelming for Alberta Dachshund Rescue with the number of dachshunds that have been surrendered with intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). Of the 29 dachshunds surrendered so far in 2022, eight have had IVDD. That is almost one third of the dogs surrendered!

​MEET JADE & VALERIE

​We are highlighting each of the dogs in ADR's care that are most in need of extra support. Now you can donate directly to help with their ongoing medical costs and rehabilitation.

​Our goal is to get each one of these little dachshunds healthy enough to be adopted out to their forever family and live their best life!
