Our mission is to match each dog with the loving home.

Canadian Dachshund Rescue (Ontario)is a registered charity that is focused on helping dachshunds who require assistance, through no fault of their own. We strive to rescue, care for, and rehome dachshunds and dachshund mixes. Where resources permit, we also seek to support other small dog breeds that cannot be accommodated elsewhere.

 We are governed and operated by a team of dedicated volunteers. At intake, dogs are placed in a loving foster home where they remain until they are successfully matched with a forever family. We do not have a centralized shelter!

 Since our inception in 2001, we have successfully rehomed thousands of deserving dogs, with many more coming into care each year. We are so grateful for the support of our vast network of dedicated veterinary partners and connections to animal welfare organizations across Ontario. We also collaborate with select national organizations to fulfill our mission and achieve common goals.

 Our lifesaving work would not be possible without the generosity of our partners, donors and volunteers. Rescue is truly made possible because of YOU!
