For 20 years, Kentucky Dachshund Rescue (KDR) has been saving dachshunds and other small breeds from euthanasia. We provide food, medical care, love, and — most importantly — the time they need to find their forever families. We’re proud partners with Petfinder.com, the PetSmart Charities Partnership Program, Kroger Community Rewards, Adopt-a-Pet.com, Bidding for Good, and the annual Kentucky Dachshund Derby. KDR’s mission is powered by adoptions, fundraisers, auctions, and an incredible network of volunteers. Every dollar raised goes directly toward giving animals a second chance when they need it most. Over the past two decades, KDR has helped more than 1,200 families welcome the joy and unconditional love only a rescue dog can bring. Every dog that comes through our doors receives full veterinary care, and we strongly promote spay and neuter practices to help end pet overpopulation. We also offer a lifeline for owners who can’t keep their pets, providing safe rehoming and medical support when it’s needed most. Each year, KDR takes in hundreds of dogs who would otherwise face euthanasia due to illness, neglect, or family hardship. We’re endlessly proud of our members and volunteers, whose tireless dedication makes this life-saving work possible — and we’ll keep fighting for every single tail until every dog has a home to wag it in.
