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 help with the work that we do.

New Fundraiser!

ADR is pleased to collaborate with Good Goods Co, an Edmonton based company with a mission to curate an exceptional selection of  small businesses and re-imagine how their goods can be brought to communities throughout Alberta.

One of the items to consider is a beautiful hand painted dachshund card created by Nina Chernenko, a local artist from Sherwood Park, AB.

All proceeds from the purchase of this card will be donated to Alberta Dachshund Rescue. A win-win for you and for ADR!

skip the depot

ADR is registered with Skip the Depot!
​What is Skip the Depot you ask???

It’s a service in Calgary and Edmonton where you can schedule a free pick up for your empty bottles & cans. The best part?  You can donate your bottle refund directly to ADR !!!

​There is no charge for the pickup. However, they offer slightly lower deposit rates than a bottle depot to offset the costs of the pickup. So, head on over to Skip the Depot and turn your empties into a donation for ADR. How easy is that!!!
