Canadian Dachshund Rescue

Dog rescue in Toronto, ON

CDR is a volunteer driven organization dedicated to saving and rehoming abandoned, neglected, and unwanted dachshund and dachshund mixes.



Founded in 2001, CDR was created in response to the overwhelming number of dachshunds desperately needing to be rescued.

To date CDR has saved the lives of over 900 wieners from abuse or euthanasia.

CDR volunteers encompass a vast network of dedicated individuals, spanning the province of Ontario. This far-reaching group strives to ensure that no dachshund in Ontario is left behind.

CDR works closely with local, national and international animal welfare organizations, to provide care for wieners who are in distress, suffering abuse, abandoned or homeless.
