About Us
Nebraska Dachshund Rescue was formed in the fall of 2007 by several dachshund lovers who were part of a dachshund-only play group. The group would be informed about dachshunds in kill-shelters, dachshunds being surrendered by families, dachshunds that were 'free' on craigslist, dachshunds retiring from puppy mills, etc... There was not a dachshund breed-specific local rescue group to help find homes for some wonderful little dogs who deserved a second chance at life.

• Providing education to the public on the dachshund breed, puppy mills, and responsible pet guardianship including, but not limited to, humane animal care and spay/neuter practices.

• Displaying courtesy, respect and fellowship toward all volunteers in appreciation of services and support rendered to dachshund rescue and to promoting enhanced teamwork among all rescuers.


NDR Mission:

• To help find dachshunds in need of a forever home

• And most important, responsible pet ownership which includes training, microchipping and spay or neuter.

Eli - NDR's Inspiration Eli is living on top of the world right now. He goes for walks everyday and also attends regular play groups. He was picked up as a stray at an Iowa shelter. They were able to identify the owners, they called them and were told they would be in to get him. They never showed up. After 3 days, he was made available for adoption. Due to space constraints, this shelter is unable to keep their animals very long. Luckily a kind lady from an all breed rescue bonded him out and asked an acquaintance to foster him. After finding no dachshund rescue in Omaha or to cover the state of Nebraska, Eli inspired Cheryl to start a rescue group to help other dachshunds not as lucky as Eli. The rescue has been operating since Oct of 2007, founded by Cheryl Wilson, and has helped dozens of other dachshunds find their forever home. Nebraska Dachshund Rescue looks forward to helping many, many dachshunds! Thank you Eli!
