GetALong Dachshund Rescue is a nationwide dachshund rescue. We step up for senior dachshunds, ones with complex medical needs, and those that require a little more time before becoming adoptable. GDR also rescues young dachshunds if needed.  Our main purpose is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome our dachshunds into forever homes that will provide a safe and loving environment. We strive to make sure that each adoption is to the right home.

We sometimes find ourselves providing loving arms and a safe foster home for the severely ill to live out their last days being loved and cherished. Sadly, all too often, they are experiencing this love for the very first time. Our forever fosters are such an important part of our mission.

Many of the dachshunds we get are abandoned in shelters because they can no longer provide their owners with healthy puppies to be sold. Others have gotten old and are in need of medical attention that their owner cannot afford, or is not willing to provide. All too often the only medical care they have ever received was their first shots as puppies.

Some of the dachshunds who come to us are purebreds. They come to us in all shapes, sizes, and colors. If you are truly looking for a pet that wants nothing more than to please you and love you, then please consider adopting one of our seniors. They are full of love and ask for nothing more than to be loved in return.
