A National Network of Independent Dachshund Rescuers

Almost Home has a goal of respectful support of independent volunteers who offer rehabilitation and placement of unwanted dachshunds. The network offers a new approach to dachshund rescue in that we offer a place for volunteers to access information from our national web site, post available dachshunds, and enjoy the support of other members in a friendly, open forum. Through fundraising efforts, we provide financial support to our members for treatments beyond their own rescue budgets. Almost Home is committed to working with other national and regional rescue groups in placing and transporting dogs, as well as offering financial assistance when possible. We are also committed to education; raising the public's awareness of puppy mills and pet store puppies, spay/neuter issues, and responsible ownership are important goals of Almost Home Dachshund Rescue Society


As an organization, we operate a little differently from many other national rescue groups: Almost Home rescuers work together, but individual rescuers retain their independent status. As a group, we share access to a website, transport and foster help, information about dogs needing help, and general support. As independent rescuers, we maintain control over how we rescue and place our foster dogs. Members are responsible for the medical care the dogs require, and they determine their own adoption fees.
