MidWest Dachshund Rescue

Who are we?

MidWest Dachshund Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating Dachshunds in need. As a foster-based, all-volunteer rescue, we rely on the support of our volunteers, adoption fees, and generous donations from Dachshund lovers like you. We serve Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and MidWest states as needed, ensuring that every dachshund we take in receives the love and care they deserve!

What We Accomplish

At MidWest Dachshund Rescue, we are dedicated to finding loving homes for Dachshunds in need. Our commitment extends beyond just rehoming; we take every step necessary to rehabilitate and ensure the health and safety of every dog we care for. We believe in maintaining high standards that reflect our love for doxies, so when you adopt from MWDR, you're gaining a lifelong friend who has been nurtured and loved during their transition.

We are committed to the health of our Dachshunds

We prioritize the health and well-being of our beloved doxies. Every Dachshund in our care is up to date on vaccinations, tested for heartworm and parasites, and undergoes dental care as necessary. We also ensure that all of our doxies are spayed or neutered, so you can adopt a healthy pet ready for a loving home.

Our commitment to our Dachshunds' futures drives everything we do. We rescue, care for, and advocate for these incredible dogs while educating the community and new owners on the benefits of spaying and neutering. We work together to build better lives for our four-legged friends and appreciate the joy they bring into our lives.
