Why DARE?
Since 2003, DARE has been fighting for Florida’s dachshunds — the ones other rescues overlook.
We take in the seniors. The medical cases. The ones others pass by.
Because every dog deserves a chance — no matter their age, health, or history.
🎉 Doxapalooza 🎉
Our biggest event of the year — bringing together hundreds of dachshunds and their humans for races, contests, vendors, and chaos (the good kind).
