DRNA is an organization with one purpose — rescuing, rehabilitating and re-homing needy dachshunds and mostly dachshund mixes. We are a network of experienced rescue people throughout the United States and Canada who were previously doing rescue independently and realized the benefits of joining together and combining resources. Please go to Network for Good for our most recent Guidestar information. We are a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization.
What We Do
All dogs placed by DRNA have been checked out by a veterinarian. The following procedures have been completed:
Spayed or neutered
Heartworm checked and have been found negative or undergone treatment and are now on preventative
Updated on rabies and DHLPC vaccinations
Fecal Check
Parasites are eradicated
Dental cleaning and extractions as necessary
Urinalysis if needed
Any long term conditions identified
Most dogs spend at least a short time in foster care so we can evaluate their behaviors in a home setting. We can give potential adopters information on how they may interact with cats, kids, men, women, other dogs, and so on. These are vital components to a good match. We also try to improve potty training skills if they are not already house trained. Foster homes provide good nutrition and an understanding lap to prepare our dachshunds for life in a world where fear and starvation are non-existent.
How We Do It
DRNA has a standard placement fee, regardless of the condition in which the dog was received. We are able to accomplish this through the generosity of donations. If you would like information on helping DRNA with your contribution, please visit our website at www.dna.org. We think that there IS a home somewhere for every dog we foster. Some just take a little longer to find.
