ODR, Inc. is a 501(c)3 registered non-profit, all volunteer, no-kill Dachshund rescue organization serving Oregon & Washington. Our goal is to find the best possible homes for Dachshunds who have been neglected, abused, injured or surrendered for euthanasia. We believe that every single one of these wonderful little dogs deserves love and care but life doesn't always work out that way. Sometimes dogs are injured and their owners cannot afford or provide appropriate care. Sometimes dogs are used solely as breeding vessels and are tossed aside when they are no longer useful. Sometimes families underestimate what dachshund ownership requires and realize too late that they cannot care for their pet. Sometimes Dachshunds outlive their humans and there is no one to take them in. Dachshunds have unique traits that people often don't research. They are very social animals, love being with and around their people at all times, are very loyal and protective. They have strong prey instincts so birds, cats, squirrels are their focus. They can be stubborn and difficult to train. People often just give up on them but most of the time, it's not the dog's fault, it's the owner taking the time and giving the attention and love that makes a difference between a dog with issues and a wonderful, loving Dachshund.
