Gulf Coast Dachshund Rescue

Gulf Coast Dachshund Rescue is a 501 c (3) Non-Profit and Incorporated organization dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of dachshunds across the Gulf Coast.

GCDR was founded in July, 2006 with the goal of rescuing dachshunds from difficult situations, rehabilitating them, and finding loving permanent homes for each one.

GCDR strives to educate the general public about the importance of spaying and neutering, as well as responsible pet ownership.

It is extremely important, as well, to educate potential dachshund owners about the dachshund standard and personality, to be certain no dachshund ends up in rescue, on the street, or worse, just for being a dachshund.

Please know- we are not a shelter. We are a small network of volunteers  that foster out of our homes. 

Can't adopt? Can't foster? There are many other ways you can help GCDR dachshunds! Every face in our group has a story. Many are sad, most are avoidable. You can help turn these dogs' lives around. Check out our How YOU can help GCDR page for more information! These dogs aren't just counting on us. They're counting on YOU.
