More about the shelter
Dachshund Rescue of South Florida is a foster based 501(c)(3) rescue who helps hotdogs regardless of age, health, or behavioral issues find new homes after being in a shelter, as a stray out on the streets, or owner surrendered.
We take our work very seriously and screen our potential forever families thoroughly to ensure that our dogs will never have to worry or want for anything ever again.
Our mission is to educate people who may be unfamiliar with rescue and the time, love, and compassion that goes into identifying a little one in a shelters through getting them settled into their new forever home and why choosing to rescue a dog can be one of the most rewarding things a family can choose to do.
If you are looking to add a dachshund to your family we would love to work with you. We have done our best to help explain the process and share some our favorite "happy tales" from our former dogs with their new forever families. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and we are looking forward to meeting you!
application, 2 non-family references, vet check against AVMA standards, home visit, introduction, and contract :)
About Nuvia
Distance: 2,794 Miles
Sweet and shy girl that came to us from Puerto Rico
7 years old 13 pounds
Her life was HARD before DRSF.
She lost an eye
The scar across her snout is where someone tied it shut and it cut into her.
Nuvia is a work in progress and we know we will need a special adopter for this little one.
She loves her people (as you can see by how comfortable she is being held like a baby) and she adapts to new situations, but needs some time
Her potty skills are a work in progress, but she is working with a trainer to keep improving those skills.
She’s a bit afraid of other dogs, would probably be ok with an older mellow dog, but a younger rambunctious dog or multiple dogs will not be good for her
A busy household will not be the best fit for her and small children wouldn’t work with her
We are hopeful that there is the perfect family out there for her
