We love DRBC! I have fostered through their grandpaws program for 5 years. I've had the best doxies and get the best ongoing care from the rescue. Everyone associated is caring and dedicated, down to earth and just enjoyable people to associate with. Can't say enough good things about Dachshund Rescue of Bucks County.
Looking for a lovable loyal furry friend? Doxie Rescue of Bucks County & NJ can help.
We rescued our little fellow Willi from them and it’s been a rewarding experience. Doxie Rescue is a group of dedicated folks who love what they do and work hard to find their rescues the proper home. Always available to answer any questions and steer you in the right direction. Willi has found his forever home. Thank you Doxie Rescue!!!
Doxie Rescue is one of the very best rescue organizations I have ever encountered! They take excellent care of their dogs and they make sure to find the perfect match for each one. This is a group to be trusted and supported. Thank you, Doxie Rescue, for ALL you do!!
DRBC has been amazing to me and my dog Piper. I adopted Piper a few years ago and they made the perfect match! I love her so much. Any time I have a question, I know I can call them and they will help me. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been super kind and if anyone tells me they want to adopt a dog I refer them to DRBC.
When we adopted our wonderful Scoop we knew he was healthy and had received excellent veterinary care from the time he was rescued by DRBC. The adoption process was clear, thorough, and reassuring. We were given full instructions for feeding, care, training, and health, and when we had additional questions after Scoop had joined our family, the friendly and helpful DRBC staff had our backs. It is clear to us that DRBC's goal is to facilitate a loving, lasting match between dog and adopter. They know how to make matches of the heart, and I can't recommend them more highly.

After having been a regular donor for over a year, observing this organization from the outside, I decided about 7 months ago to get more involved. I began fostering a doxie, and shortly after that I joined the volunteer staff. DRBC trains and supports a large network of foster families and sanctuary homes, provides for all needed medical care and rehabilitation, and works tirelessly to find the perfect match between dogs and adopters. They contribute an unbelievable amount of personal time and effort to helping these dogs, many of whom would otherwise die alone, unloved, and in pain. It is a pleasure to work with such a knowledgeable and dedicated group of people.
I’ve had the pleasure of fostering multiple dogs through DRBC’s GrandPaws foster program, which gives senior dogs a chance at finding loving homes in their golden years. DRBC goes out of its way to make sure all dogs are saved and find good homes. They offer many resources to support all the dogs. My life has been changed too by the dogs I’ve met through DRBC.
I have been fostering paraplegic dachshunds for this rescue group for the past five years, and am very glad to be doing so. This wonderful organization rescues dogs that are not only adoptable and finds new homes for them; they also rescue the ones with special needs that the owners are either unable or unwilling to deal with. Yes, it's a sad truth that there are people out there who regard pets as nothing more than a broken toy if something goes wrong with it; they just want to dispose of the broken one and go get a new one. Through their Grandpaws program, Doxie Rescue provides support for special-needs dogs by placing them in a home with a qualified foster parent and providing all food, veterinary care, medications and supplements for the rest of the dog's life. All that foster parent has to provide is love, and there's plenty of that at our house. I am so grateful to have been entrusted with the care of these wonderful little dogs and for the support that the rescue provides for them.
Over the last several years, Doxie Rescue of Bucks County & NJ (DRBC) has provided me with two amazing rescue dogs. My first “rescue” (Sasha) was part of a special program to provide a home for senior dogs or dogs that have special medical needs. Sasha was my first “rescue” dog and she opened my eyes to the possibility of sourcing future dogs from a rescue vs. other traditional means. Late 2023, I took on a new rescue (Paisley) as a foster. About a year later, I formally adopted her.
Both dogs came from horrific circumstances that are difficult to imagine. Having a rescue that rolls up their sleeves and rescues dogs is heartwarming and inspiring. The staff at DRBC offer their time, resources, homes and so much more for the betterment of the dogs.
DRBC also provides a lot of reference material & resources about the Dachshund breed to ensure foster parents and adopters are set up for success which benefits the dog and those that contribute their home and time.

DRBC is a special rescue. Both Joanne and Cindi are dedicated to the care and well-being of all doxies that come through their door. They love each and every one from arrival to fostering/adoption. We fostered (then kept) a diabetic doxie, and the rescue helped us every step of the way with his care. Willi has brought so much happiness to my family… we can’t imagine what life was like without him!
The rescue is always available for questions about Willi’s care and they enjoy when I send pictures of him.
Everyone at the DRBC is like family to us!
I’ve been following DRBC for years. They help and care for every dog that comes into their rescue. They have helped my boy with the proper medication and treatments and diet for his IVDD. He is now doing great and walking well. He is 12 years old and is pictured below.
The DRBC are the best. I adopted my 2 doxies Max and Prince from there 5 and 4 years ago and so happy I did. Max has IVDD and receives weekly lazer treatments to help him with walking. They are very caring and always there to help. Thank you DRBC.
I found DRBC in 2020. We became part of the Grand paws program fostering a senior bonded pair. The female became very ill 8 months after we brought her home. The rescue immediately responded and rushed her for emergency care. She didn’t survive, but everything possible was done for her. A couple weeks later we brought home another foster. Senior dogs can be challenging, but the rescue is always there when you need help. I cannot say enough about how dedicated, caring and professional everyone involved is. DRBC is truly an incredible place. We have been so blessed to find this rescue and hop to be part of this wonderful community for a long time.
My first experience with DRBC was when my husband and I were looking to add a dachshund to our family after losing our Tikvah to cancer. We went and did the meet and greet took Sophie for a walk and immediately fell in love. Sophie became my husband‘s best nurse through his battle with cancer and heart disease. After we lost my husband Sophie start experiencing some cardiac issues and her back issues. I called Doxie Rescue Of Bucks County for advice and guidance. They saved her life. Cindie told me she would come back from the paralysis and we continued laser treatments weekly and so at 16 1/2 she ran around like a pup. Then tragedy struck, and Sophie obstructed while being a typical Doxie and getting into something she shouldn’t and went into pancreatitis. Once again, Doxie Rescue Of Bucks County came to my aid and drove me to the best medical facility. She was scheduled for surgery, but the pancreatitis ruled it out. Cindie drove me back an hour away, so I could be with her when it was her time to cross the bridge.. They were there for me so many times and when they called me for a favor as they had an older Doxy, who was desperate for a warm place to stay, I said I’m on my way. So Iris has joined my maltipoo Sarah and I and is probably a foster fail.
They are experts at finding matches of the ❤️
I have volunteered as a foster for DRBC for 5 years. My most recent foster is also my most memorable, Tula. Tula came to the rescue labeled as a biter, but we never saw that from her....she was just a cuddle bug. Before long, Tula was diagnosed as a diabetic. Some groups may have thrown her away, but DRBC supported her and got her stabilized. Then Tula developed Cushing's disease and I was so happy to see the rescue get behind her once again. I loved my Tula. Finally, it was discovered that Tula had a cancerous tumor in her bladder. I was so happy the rescue decided to fight the fight with my little girl. Sadly, Tula lost her battle to cancer this past Summer, but not without an outpouring of love, support and compassion from this very special organization. I am proud to be part of such an amazing group of people working hard for these little ones.
Our little Hans has been a delight! This little boy lost his home when he did not fully recover from IVDD surgery. Hans could not walk when he came to the rescue, but they worked hard with him to help him recover. He received laser treatments, acupuncture and PT as part of his foster recovery. We were amazed when his laser treatments continued even after the adoption. The number of hours these people pour into these dogs is incredible. Today, Hans enjoys his sunbeams and loves running in the yard. Thank you DRBC for having us meet such a great guy and for caring enough to give him a second chance at life.
My story with the rescue is a little different. I had lost my home, had no where to go and had no where to turn to save my Diamond. One of the Managers at DRBC nominated me for a very special program called the Foundation Program. The rescue took my little girl in, gave her top notch care and kept her safe until was able to take her back and be her Mom. They never asked for a thing in return. Their kindness is beyond belief.
The work this group does is nothing short of amazing! My Honey girl was brought in from the South. She as pregnant, emaciated and had heartworm disease. This incredible group helped her deliver her puppies and saved her from certain death with all the support she had in whelping the liter. Throughout the process, she gained weight and when the time was right, they had her heartworm disease treated. Today they still stay in touch with me and this special little girl. This group is more than the average rescue; they are family. Bless you DRBC.
A friend told us about Doxie Rescue and they were an exception experience for us! This year we added little Kyle to our family and cannot believe how perfect he is for us. What a great group! We had looked at other groups but none had the level of care and compassion that DRBC possess. When you adopt they say you are not adopting a dog, but joining their family and we are a happy part of it. Go DRBC!
Fantastic experience! When my little boy died at age 9 I was devastated. I looked and looked for 2 years for the right doxie to no avail, then on a whim I applied to Doxie Rescue of Bucks. I was impressed with the support they offered me, the time they have me and the joy they eventually brought into my life with my new little fluff ball. Thank you DRBC!
DRBC is the oldest operating dachshund rescue in the country. This January 1st, 2024 begins the organizations 40th year of service to dogs in need and people with a love of the breed. On behalf of the volunteers, team leaders, managers and medical team we are thrilled to begin the next 10 yrs of our journey. We seek to help one, until there are none.
I had the opportunity to work with DRBC on a hoarding situation involving a high number [30] dachshunds and was highly impressed with their level of organization, compassion and willingness to take on so many medical dogs. Truly an outstanding Group.
It was a year of loss for our family. We lost 3 doxies we had called family for so many years. All DRBC alumni. When the time was right, there was no doubt where who we would turn to to fill the holes in our heart....DRBC. It was there that we met out Teddy. Their match of the heart process was a match again. Today Teddy keeps us smiling. Thank you DRBC.
What a wonderful organization. Long after my adoption was completed, DRBC is still there to help. The medical knowledge and support this group provides is fantastic! My girls and I love to stop by and visit and we always leave with a smile on our face. DRBC truly is family.
After loosing my beloved little girls my life was pretty empty. I applied to DRBC and was invited out to meet a very special little boy named JR. I sat on the couch and he literally ran up on to my lap and gave me a hug. I would have cried but he made me laugh so hard. It was love at first sight! Thank you to everyone on the adoption team for a great match and a great day! Keep up the outstanding work!
My dreams just came true! Many thanks to everyone at DRBC for making this adoption experience a great one. I was so impressed that they took the time to teach me about a sound diet and good supportive care. I want my little Kevin to be with me as many years as possible. Thank you DRBC I am only sorry that I am limited to 5 stars :)
This is the newest love of our lives, Claus! We want to thank everyone at DRBC for a wonderful and caring experience. We were so excited and the time they took and the care they gave our special guy while in foster care and gave to us getting us started on the right foot was not like anything we have ever experienced before. The level of care and knowledge this group has and shares is unbelievable. Thank you so much DRBC!
Our little girl Gamja was struck suddenly and seriously with IVDD. We rushed her to our vet and found ourselves in a very bad position...we could not afford to help her and our vet said she feared Gamja would die without surgery. The vet gave us the names of several groups and we went o work quickly calling and emailing. Within minutes DRBC was on the phone with us and within an hours we were on their doorstep. They agreed her situation was grave and we quickly relinquished her to their care. That day she had emergency surgery at Red Bank Veterinary Hospital. It was touch and go as the disc material had begun to spread up the spinal canal. 2 days later Gamja was cleared of all danger....doctors confirmed she would live and might even walk. 5 days later she came back to DRBC and the physical therapy began. We stayed in touch and visited as often as we could. Imagine our surprise when 10 weeks after this nightmare began, DRBC asked if we would like to take her home to love again. SHE IS WALKING! In a world where so much goes wrong, there are still good people out there. Thank you DRBC!
Talk about love at first sight! Good thing my newest addition CoCo loved me too! Kudo's to DRBC for a wonderful experience and a great match for me and my family. This little girl just owns our heart. BTW, this is our fourth adoption over the years from DRBC and they get better and better. We are so happy to be a DRBC family.
Say hello to little Tula! I am a member of the care team for this special DRBC doxie mix. A senior afflicted with diabetes, Cushing's disease and a tumor on her bladder...it is so sad, yet the great people at DRBC provide her with only the best in care. We are continually impressed with the compassion and support this group provides to the animals in their care. Way to go DRBC!
You know what is better than adopting one dog from this terrific group...adopting a pair! Thank you DRBC. The personal attention and continued support make you the best! Label us very, very happy!
When my Mother needed to go into assisted living it was not possible for her to take her dog with her. Sadly, none of us could accommodate the special needs little Bosco had developed at that time. We reached out to DRBC and were pleasantly surprised to find that they had homes that welcomed needy seniors. We are able to stay in touch and this had made the transition for Mom and us so much easier. Thank you for caring.
It is hard to believe that my experience with a doxie rescue group would begin with a non-doxie, but here we are. When Carrie crossed the threshold of the door at DRBC I was glad to greet her with open arms. This sweet little girl has a heart condition and some renal complications so she will not be here for very long. I am honored to be part of the GrandPaws Program here at the rescue and so glad to have a group that provides so much love, support and care for my special girl. Only the best for DRBC rescues.
Our little guy was near death when we reached out to this phenomenal organization. They took our Puppy into their care and got him the care he desperately needed. Months later we were stunned when they called and asked if we would like to be reunited. Amazingly, there was no cost to us and our little boy remains happy and healthy to this day. God Bless you Doxie Rescue of Bucks.
Horrible experience. They said we had excellent references and offered us a bonded pair. We went to meet them in this chaotic house with like 7 barking dogs, which overwhelmed my daughter. The lady who brought “our” dogs over for us to meet said that one had a respiratory infection and she had to hold them for another week. They then ghosted us and after my husband finally got ahold of someone, they said they didn’t think my daughter should have a dog. Cindy lied to my daughters face and promised her she’d bring the dogs back next week. They’re terrible.
I am so happy to have adopted my little Arnold from DRBC. What fantastic experience. So professional and caring; they treated me and my family like they had known us forever. I wanted to mention how impressed I continue to be with how they help doxies in need, some of which will never leave them and will be given life-long sanctuary. It is so impressive to see how they rush to help, assemble the needed medical care and continue on with all of the other activities they are so well know for out there. Kudos to you DRBC! And thank you for our new little love!
I was looking for an older friend and found Doxie Rescue. What a great organization. Professional and understanding, they were able to help me find the perfect friend and even hook me up with a veterinarian in my area that understands the breed. These folks are the real deal. Thank you Doxie Rescue. Oscar and I are very happy.
I just love this rescue. We adopted a dachshund from them a couple of years ago and decided we wanted to adopt another rescue. We adopted Brandy from them who had a history of IVDD. They were very knowledgeable with IVDD and when Brandy had another episode they were so helpful and provided us the treatment plan we needed. They love each and every dog that comes to them and when you adopt from them they will always be there to help. Thank you to all the volunteers and fosters who help this organization.

I have adopted three dachshunds from Doxie Rescue of Bucks. All three were very hard to place dogs but DRBC never turned them away. My little one came to the rescue from NYC Animal Contol completely paralyzed in her back legs due to IVDD. DRBC pulled her and got her the medical treatment and rehab that she needed to be able to walk again. After meeting the president and other volunteers, I was so impressed with their love of these little ones that my family started volunteering and fostering. Their compassion for all the dogs no matter what their condition is exceptional. They work day and night to get dogs out of horrendous conditions and shows these dogs that there are humans out there with love and compassion. I can not think of a better organization to work with.
What a great group! They helped me find my George. After my husband passed I thought I would be alone forever and friends told me to reach out to DRBC and find a friend. Were they ever right. Thank you DRBC. There is a new man in my life today thanks to you and you heard work.
This group is incredible. My Wallie is living the life thanks to their matchmaking system. Hard working folks that are always there for me when I need them. They really know their stuff. Thoughtful, professional and caring are words that come to mind. If you are looking to adopt, these folks are the absolute best!
Working behind the scenes here at DRBC gives one an amazing perspective into everything that happens with the organization and for the animals. DRBC is the bet animal rescue group I have had the privilege of working with....they are family. Every dog that comes to the rescue receives top notch treatment and the organization is always look to improve its approach technically to provide more and more to volunteers, adopters and the community. Pretty amazing when you think about it. Only 5 stars for this group!
Always striving for excellence there is no other group like DRBC. DRBC always seeks to have adopters and volunteers join our family and not just 'get a dog' from a picture on the internet. This year DRBC said goodbye to their loving mascot, Lukas and we honor him with this reference and his presence on this page. If he were here he would tell you just how much love and care goes into every doxie and doxie mix that crosses the door at DRBC. He would be right. Only the best.
I absolutely love my little Lincoln! This little boy is so happy go lucky and I was so pleased with how the DRBC Adoption Team worked with my family to find the perfect match. I love the adoption pack and the continued support too! There is no better group than DRBC!
What a fantastic group. The services they provide their animals is second to none. From the veterinary care to laser services this group does not miss a beat. Adopt with confidence and please donate to support them if you can.
Hats off to DRBC! My little Griffin is the love of my life and finding him was all about the DRBC match of the heart program. This group goes above and beyond. Always there when I have a question or need a medical referral, there is no better.
My husband and I have adopted many doxies from DRBC through the years. They have been there for us all along educating us about everything doxie.
Their first concern are the dogs and some people may not like the longer process that is in place, but when dogs come to DRBC for adoption, they are evaluated for medical, behavioral issues, etc. They are not immediately placed up for adoption unless they meet DRBC standards.
DRBC will make sure that the families adopting will get a loving dog and most importantly a forever home.

We have adopted several doxies thru the years from DRBC. This Rescue is very dedicated to the cause, helping doxies in need and making sure that their new homes are forever homes. They always look to improve how they can help adopting families as well. There is a lot to learn about these little dogs and DRBC is there to help!
You and your family are in good hands when adopting from DRBC.
The DRBC is a great place if your looking to adopt or foster a dachshund. or if you are looking for helpful tips like weight, back concerns (IVDD), diets, etc. They are very friendly and helpful, always there to help out a dachshund in need. They have a great crew at the DRBC, and they are great for out community. Thank you Cindy and Joann for all the help you do.
7 years ago I new nothing about dachshunds. I saw the movie the Ugly Dachshund as a child and that was all I Knew that they were cute little dogs with long bodies. Then I got my first dachshund and I knew nothing about them except they are cute. So, I did research and found the Doxie Rescue of Bucks County and NJ. I went on there web page and found lots of info about dachshunds, about how they can have issues with there backs, what to feed them and how to pick them up properly. I saw that they were going to be at pet fair around me and went and we saw them and they were happy to see our dachshund Odie, they talked to my husband and i gave us there card and told us to call them if ever shows sign of back issue or have any other questions. Now about 7 years later we have our 4th Dachshund. My husband and I tried to foster 2 different times but ended up adopting both times. They are great dogs and we love them very much. It takes a special person who is able to foster a dog, help prepare them for a new family. I tried and ended up adopting both dachshunds. The rescue is filled with people who do this everyday. They are like family to us. We are thankful for all they do.

We have been friends with the Doxie Rescue of Bucks County & NJ for about 5 years now. They have always been very helpful with our 2 dachshunds even though we did not get them from the rescue. When ever I have a concern about them, they are always there to help. So,we decided to try and help them out by fostering a dachshund named Griffin. We brought him home and he was very sweet, a little scared and confused. It felt very rewarding helping to prepare a dog for his new family. By about day three I started thinking I was in trouble because I fell in love with the dog. I tried to keep telling myself you need to give him back so you can help more dachshunds in need. You adopt him your only helping one. Well I lost the battle, I was not strong enough to give him back. We officially adopted Griffin in August, so we helped one . He is great addition to our family and we love him. When I was fostering Griffin people would say he looks like a keeper. Well my response was they are all keepers, they all deserve a loving home. The Doxie Rescue of Bucks County & NJ is a place where these dogs find there loving home. Filled with people taking in dogs who came from bad situations, abusive homes and owners who passed away and medical issues. These dachshund were lucky to find the rescue because they will now,only know love. Thank You to the rescue for all the dogs you save everyday
DRBC's amazing staff is what makes this rescue so special. Volunteers spend endless hours and drive endless miles if necessary to help a dog in need. Throughout the process of rescuing, rehabilitating and eventually rehoming, all DRBC dogs regardless of their age or medical condition are treated with the dignity and love they deserve.

I have long been aware of the wonderful work performed by the DRBC to rescue, protect, care for, and rehome dogs who have, for whatever reason, lost their homes. Recently, however, I have started to truly appreciate the incredible dedication of the staff and volunteers who have opened their hearts and homes to these dogs in need. They work tirelessly, often traveling many miles or working into the wee hours in support of this cause.
Doxie Rescue is a true five-star organization run by earth angels. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking to foster or adopt one or more dachshunds of their own.
Doxie Rescue is a wonderful rescue embracing every dog that enters their rescue as their own. Doxie Rescue goes above and beyond for every dog they rescue or are turned in to them by providing excellent medical care , amazing Foster voulenteers who give the dogs all the love they so deserve until the dogs find their furever home. Doxie Rescue saved my dog Brunos life when he was diagnosed with Diabetes and Doxie Rescue still monitors Bruno to this day. Doxie Rescue is an outstanding rescue.
DRBC is a fantastic rescue organization! They are so dedicated to the dogs. They work so hard to find a wonderful, loving home for every dog. If there is a medical emergency, they are there no matter the day or time! I am constantly amazed by how much the rescue does - how many dogs they help. An amazing organization run by amazing people who are so passionate about their love of doxies.
I have worked with Cindie and Doxie Rescue of Bucks County & NJ for over 7 years. They are a great rescue and take wonderful care of the animals. Cindie is a very caring person and will do everything for them. They use top products and are up on the latest knowledge in the industry so they can give the animals the best. I enjoy working with them very much.
The DRBC is one of the most professional and organized non profits around! They work tirelessly to foster and place doxies to ensure they have the best life possible. The interview and screening process are thorough, but it is not without merit.
There are so many beautiful success stories of dogs that have truly been given a 2nd chance at life. The administrators keep a consistent, open line of communication with their fosters, volunteers and adoptees. They offer continued care and training education as well.
The DRBC is so much more than a rescue group- they are a family.
You can really tell when people are passionate and love what they do. Doxie Rescue will always go the extra mile to ensure all the dogs/puppies in their care know they are safe and loved. They are making a difference for these dogs every day. Thank you for all you do!!
DRBC has always been so kind and caring for me and my doxies. Always available for help and advice. So grateful for them all. They really work hard for the dogs.

I've had 3 doxies from this rescue and the care I've recieved from them has been wonderful. From the first interview through illnesses of my first 2 boys they have been there for me, care as much for me as my dogs. While losing my 2 boys they were there with love and support and worked hard to find me the perfect little girl doxie to help heal my broken heart. These people care for their dogs more then anyone I know.
What a fantastic organization! I adopted my little girl from them this year and was impressed from the moment I found them. Covid-19 made the process slower that I would have liked, but they made it well worth the wait. Their professionalism and caring manner, medical attentiveness and attention and sensitivity to what my needs were in a doxie made the adoption process a wonderful experience for me. I could not be happier and highly recommend them!
My husband and I went through 3 rescues before DRBC…. this rescue is beyond compare. I have seen the incredible work that they do for the dogs- they travel miles to rescue dogs , spend sleepless night to provide them with medical attention and all the care they need .
( tune in to their FB posts to see for yourselves!)
With us ---They asked what we were looking for and they listened.
They were able to assess the dog that was right for us.
It is a process and there is waiting, but this rescue has seen every kind on both fences - adoptee and adopter. You have to trust that they know and they did deliver that promise. We could have not had a more beautiful little boy.
He came from a highly tense situation; Cindie, Joanne and the rest of the DRBC team was able to restore normalcy in his life. He came to us with this incredible spirit of glee. He is an absolute joy!
Our little one came home with his complete medical , premium food ( to last the apocalypse-haha) , vitamins, supplements, heartworm and flea and tick preventative packets
( to last 6 months ) ...everything!!!
Even after you have passed through the process, you come home knowing DRBC is there for you when you need them.…like a family ...Now that -- is a rescue.
I am so proud to be a volunteer for Doxie Rescue of Bucks County & NJ. This allows me to understand how DRBC works. Unfortunately many special needs dogs end up with no place to call home and very uncertain futures. Dogs that can have significant medical needs. I get to see what happens first hand - what the rescue does - and that is to remove whatever barriers there might be to getting those dogs to a safe place and their new future. Absolutely no pausing - just problem solving for transport, needed funds, accommodating foster homes - whatever is needed and whenever it is needed. And not just dogs local to the rescue. This is the life of DRBC 24/7. They realize that because of the special issues each of these dogs that come in have, regardless of age, they could require permanent sanctuary in a home within the rescue. Meaning all costs, medical, food and more, covered for the time that dog is a resident, which is often the rest of their life. I personally have one such dog. Thomas was thrown from the window of a moving car and is subsequently paralyzed in his rear limbs. He was taken to a local shelter where his future looked grim. But luckily DRBC found out about Thomas' predicament and made him a part of the family. Another bonded pair, Max and Harley, also found their way to the rescue. Max has a life long autoimmune disease that nearly ended his life (who now is doing well) and Harley suffered from IVDD and required surgery, leaving him with lingering neurologic deficits. Two more life long residents. And there are so many more dogs. Two more stories that make me so proud are dogs that developed life threatening health issues that left their families, who desperately loved them, unable to provide appropriate care so opted relinquishment. One of the dogs was a therapy dog for a veteran with PTSD. In those instances DRBC brought the dogs in and cared for and covered all costs to bring the dog's back to health. At which time the dogs were reunited with their ecstatic and grateful families. And I could go on. What I want to pause and add is these dogs are given the best medical care and whatever is needed. I know this because I am a veterinarian. Thanks to Doxie Rescue of Bucks County & NJ so many special need dogs have a life. They make sure that every dog has a safe and loving place to go.

I have found myself in a very painful, unexpected and unfortunate circumstance of needing to re-home one of my four dogs. My dog Kensie suffers from anxiety and redirected aggression to other dogs and has severely injured one dog and moderately injured another. She and I work with a veterinary behaviorist and experienced dog trainer and she is on medications and is never left unsupervised with the others. Suffice it to say that just managing everything day-to-day is difficult for us all and is taking a toll on her. I love her deeply and have realized that she isn't having the quality of life that she deserves which could be possible in a single-dog home. I never thought I'd be in this position and struggled to find a path forward to re-home a special needs dog, That's when I reached out to DRBC. It's like the weight of the world has been lifted from my shoulders. They have taken so much time to assure me that with their years of experience this can be done in a way that will provide her a happy future. They are so sensitive to my emotions, feeling s and needs - and there is definitely no judgement. They take care of everything but allow me to be involved to the extent I'm comfortable. I've been able to witness first hand how they take dogs that likely wouldn't get a chance anywhere else, and make them a part of the DRBC family, and find their forever homes. And in a time of need for me - they've offered that special gift to my love, Kensie. This is definitely who you want to experience either surrendering or adopting a family member with - they are very simply the best.
Doxie Rescue of Bucks County & NJ is in a league of their own. They provide outstanding support and community education which is valuable for the pets and their owners. But this pales in comparison to the unbelievable LIFESAVING medical care the Medical team has in place to address the needs of lucky souls who are rescued, rehabilitated, and readied for adoption by DRBC. Their standard of care is the best of the best and their love, support and commitment to continued education for themselves and the community they serve is commendable. They are an asset to the community they serve and angels to the Doxies in their care.
This rescue organization is unlike any other -- from the kind and caring relinquishment team that help the families and dogs on their way to us, to the talented medical team that examines each and every dog when they arrive. If you've ever seen the live streaming of the intake process you will see they all get the 'royal treatment' when they come through the door.
DRBC has many talented volunteers who provide provide medical, dental, nutrition and behavioral support. Adopters and foster families have access to a tremendous amount of information anytime they need it. And, we can't forget about the wonderful foster families who care for our fur babies while we seek out the best adoptive home for them. Our foster homes provide lots of love and security for the dogs during what is a very scary time in their little lives.
-- Great group of individuals, commmitted to doing the very best for the dogs.
Doxie Rescue of Bucks County had a crucial role in helping me save my dog's life when his legs stopped working. They know this breed the best and were able to help guide me to the best neurologist. They are very supportive and give so much to help these dogs. We are forever thankful for them. They really put their full heart into the work they do. Thank you so much!
I just lost my Dachshund this past April and I knew that another Dachshund was in my future. I tried several other rescue sites but I always had no luck. A friend told me about DRBC. I submitted an application. I couldn't believe how fast and professional things moved! A volunteer contacted me and we were set up for a meet and greet to see the puppies. My husband and I were introduced to Thor , or should I say, Thor introduced himself!!! It was love at first sight and we knew he was coming home with us. We definitely hit the jackpot!!! Thor is a loving and affectionate bundle of joy. He is loved by all that meet him. My relationship with DRBC didn't end that day. If we have any questions they assure us to call. Thor has filled a void that I didn't think could be possible. We could not be happier to have found this organization. AnnuaIly they have lots of events for the doxies and their proud parents...Soooo much fun!! I would like to thank all the volunteers that donate their time, love and professionalism... THANKS AGAIN TO DRBC
SINCERELY,
Mike,Kim and Thor
LIFE SAVERS - literally.
We adopted our lovable doxie Nash back in February. DRBC said that he had a nasal fistula that needed tending to so they took care of ALL the expenses and boarded him until we were able to bring him home which was March 30, 2019 - amazing!
Fast forward to July 2nd - we took Nash to the vet because something wasn't right, turns out he needed emergency surgery so we rushed him to the hospital. After spending 3 days in the hospital we were at a loss of how to proceed as the hospital kept saying they needed to do more tests that he may have cancer, that he had a seizure, he has pancreatitis etc. We didn't have insurance and honestly, we weren't' sure we could afford many more days of hospitalization. We called Cindie at DRBC for advice, we briefed her on the particulars. We also sent her all his paperwork and test results from the hospital. She told us exactly what to ask and advised us to bring him home, that it sounded like he would be ok. She ended up calling us back and offering to take him back and would monitor him as only she/DRBC can do. We left him with Cindie for a week and everyday got updates about his health and the progress he was making!! We picked him up a week later and he is a new dog. DRBC made this possible, this isn't just a rescue you adopt your pup from and never hear from them again, they TRULY CARE!
The Doxie Rescue of Bucks County has a vested interest in each and every dog that they take in. We 100% know that if we need advice or want them to look at Nash again, they will, hands down. We can't recommend them enough, we feel so lucky and BEYOND grateful that we had Cindie and everyone at DRBC available to nurse Nash back to health. If you're in the market for a doxie take a look at DRBC they an incredible organization and we are forever indebted to them!
Dachshund Rescue of Bucks County and NJ (DRBC) is a very dedicated group who serve the needs of abandoned, abused, and homeless dachshunds. This rescue provides excellent medical care, including rehab and nutritional support to the dogs in need. They provide various programs such as sanctuary foster care, short term foster care, facilitates adoptions, and training. DRBC has a strong base of trained veterinary medical personnel, an organizational staff and outstanding volunteer base.
Dachshund Rescue of Bucks County is a needy dachshund's best resource. Top notch medical care, loving foster homes and qualified adopters are all part of the DRBC formula for success. I've volunteered for a number of years and highly recommend DRBC. Their website has so much helpful information and really highlights how much the group cares about this wonderful breed.
We got involved with Doxie Rescue almost 5 years ago when we adopted 2 rescue dachshunds from this organization. We adopted our two dachshunds 2 weeks apart and have been involved with DRBC ever since in supporting their fund raising events as well as cash donations. The organization leaders work tirelessly to ensure each of their intakes gets a well deserved home and medical care if needed. After seeing how the organization and volunteers work in saving dachshunds, with every dollar they take in going to the care of the animals, I cannot think of a better nonprofit for us to support.

I have such great respect and admiration for this organization. The volunteers work tirelessly to deliver the medical care, emotional support, and love for each and every dachshund that they welcome into their rescue. It is a well oiled machine from rescue, foster homes, adoptions, and fund raising. It’s a win-win-win for every adoption. The dog, it’s new family, and the rescue all benefit. The dogs that are evaluated as unadoptable (whether due to age or special needs) also are well taken care of and placed in the GrandPaws Prigram where they will have a home for the rest of their lives.
As a donor and client served I applaud the rescue’s efforts and commend it for a job well done. Hopefully, this organization will be in existence for many years to come to keep up their good work.
DRBC is composed of such a wonderful and caring network of volunteers who do truly remarkable things for dachshunds in need. We were drawn to the Grandpaws program, which provides sanctuary to older dachshunds. It has been so rewarding to care for and love an older Doxie, especially to make their final years happy ones.
these guys are amazingly dedicated to their mission of saving every dog they possibly can. i adopted the absolute best dog, Bob, from them back in 2000, and volunteered as well until moving to california in 2003. i’m now back on the east coast and was excited to reconnect with DRBC. I just recently adopted another great dog, Jack, from them and am volunteering again. DRBC’s love, devotion, and caring is always evident. they are a truly great organization.
I started fostering with DRBC in December of 2017, and have quickly become a part of the doxie loving family. It’s such a wonderful organization to be a part of, and so rewarding to have the opportunity to foster my favorite dog breed, dachshunds! A great group with dedicated volunteers!
This team treats every doxie that comes through with the love and compassion they would show their own. There is no pup too old to obtain their help and they go above and beyond to get these pups back to good health (if needed) and into a happy healthy home. A top notch rescue.
I have the opportunity to be both a volunteer and a client of DRBC. I started out by fostering the dogs turned in, and ended up adopting one as well! The process was so rewarding. To view the impact that their tireless efforts have on these dog, one could simply look at the dogs and their new home and lives. The medical care that these pups receive is superior. When they come in, they are soothed with a warm bath and checked over thoroughly. Blood work and testing, and sometimes medical care follows that. Then they go to a foster family where they are given love...and in some cases it’s the first time that they are receiving that. The pups are monitored to see how they are doing and what their personalities are like. And only then, when they are healthy and ready to move on, are they permitted to be shown at meet and greets with perspective adopters. It has been a privilege and so humbling to be a part of such a great group. These people are selfless and have only the dogs’ best interest at heart. I wish everyone could experience the gift of being a foster...especially with a group that cares so very much for these dogs.
The Doxie Rescue Team are so knowledgeable and caring! They pour out so much love and time to the fur babies! I lost one of my doxie family members a couple months ago and they never left our side through the poor health and on. I can not say enough about this organization. They constantly amaze me when their heroic efforts and undying love!

Dachshund Rescue South Florida tips their hats to our friends at Doxie Rescue Bucks County for tireless advocacy for all the Wiener Dogs! For more years than we can count, we have marveled at the number of dogs that they welcome to their care, healing them in body and spirit, and placing them through a thorough process to ensure that these sweet souls will never want for anything ever again. In case that is not enough, they also work to educate the public on topics to help them be a savvy pet parent including IVDD, vaccines, nutrition and spay/neuter. We could not ask for a better or more experienced team to fight along with every day to ensure the health and safety of all dogs long and low!
I became a member of this organization by chance, searching for a small dog fostering rescue.
I'm so glad it happened, because not only did it allow us to foster 5 wonderful dogs to their adoptive homes, but one of those became a member of our family through our own adoption.
Everyone who runs this organization cares for the dogs first, and everything else second. As a fully volunteer and foster based group, you can't ask for a better environment for a dog who needs recovery, emotionally or physically, and the best path to it's right home.
I have witnessed DRBC’s dedication to save every precious lives they came across and I am especially impressed by the grandpaw program to offer sanctuary to seniors. DRBC’s love for their work is infectious and hope to inspire more people to join the good cause.
I absolutely LOVE what this group does for the doxies out there that have found themselves in harms way. From the foster parents to the staff the care and love that they give for all they take in shows when you call and visit. I have known this group for a long time and watched them grow into the successful organization they are today-we have adopted 2 of our last pups from DRBC and the concern for not only the new family but also the pups goes above and beyond love. Be assured that your new family member will be the right one for you! Would highly recommend them to anyone that is looking to be a rescue family to give them a call and set up your appointment. You won't regret it!
I met the people from DRBC several years ago when I decided to adopt a dachshund. We had previous adopted other dogs but meeting the people at this agency was different. They went the extra mile to talk to you to see how your family dynamic runs and how a dog would fit in order to have you meet the right dogs that would become your new family member. My Sammy is such a great little guy I couldn't of asked for a better match. And since than we also adoptd our baby girl coco. It's not a cookie cutter adoption agency where it's here which dog do you want from the back of the car. And in the long run when there fosters or grand paws are adopted they have a forever home.

We have had great experiences with Doxie Rescue of Bucks County. They are doing an amazing job rescuing and helping so many dachshunds in need--with medical care, fostering, and coordinating adoptions. They are also always available for questions after adoption takes place. A truly wonderful organization!
Another friend of mine told me about two dachshunds, one 3, one 11, who had been left at a vet's kennel for four months. Cindie Kura facilitated the adoption and then held my hand through the first rough winter of ownership. Subsequently she babysat them for me, and even went with me to the vet to have the older one put down at age 14. Without DRBC and her, I would never have been able to manage these two standard dachshunds, a breed previously unknown to me in a lifetime of dog connections.
I would not recommend this rescue AT ALL. When a friend surrendered their dog here, the rescue marketed the dog with a new name, a sob story about the horrible life that it came from, and a plea for help. The sob story was so far from the truth. I've watched them change the dog's name a couple of times in social media posts to re-package it for adoption. The rescue was misleading with its description of the dog to get support, donors, business, who knows? It's scary that a potential pet owner is going to make a decision about pet ownership without the truth about the dog and the situation. This rescue takes advantage of the emotional appeal of its industry.
In this picture is Patch, contentedly sitting on my 6 year old's lap. He is a Dachschund Rescue of Bucks County & NJ foster from the recent hoarding situation. We found & rescued him from a busy road in Mt Laurel NJ on May 8th 2017; he had escaped from his foster home. We were approved to foster him until we could adopt, after he received all DRBC required medical care. He was picked up from our home on May 10th where he was happy and felt safe, since one of his siblings bit a 2 year old in another foster home. We were told he would be returned to us in 2-3 weeks after receiving his rabies shot, dental, and neuter. We did not know that we would never see him again. I reached out several times, including offering to pay for all of Patch's medical care on top of his $680 adoption fee. Finally, on July 5th, I was told that he would not be returned to us since the hoarding doxies will all be placed in homes without children due to nipping concerns. Patch never nipped or showed any aggression while he was with us. We are completely devastated and wanted to share our story.
I tried to share my story on their Facebook page and the post disappeared- and I am unable to post anything now.
UPDATE1: on the DRBC Facebook page, I have observed that at least two of the hoarding doxies were in foster homes that seem to have children. When I questioned one of them I was blocked.
UPDATE2: Patch's name was changed to Stanley and he was adopted by another family. I am relieved to hear that he is ok and being loved- but completely disgusted by our experience with this organization. See link below.

Had the pleasure of working with DRBC to adopt 2 dogs through them. Both times they were very professional, caring amd wanted to make sure we as a family chose a dog best suited to us. If we had questions after, they were very responsive nd helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this group to anyine looking to adopt a dog.
The Doxie Rescue of Bucks County and NJ is an amazing rescue. From the President /founder to the volunteers. Going above and beyond to not just help dachshund and dachshund mixes but also their humans. DRBC has stepped up to help many animals, but what makes them most unique is their Grandpaws program. This program gives sanctuary to senior, medically needy, and dogs with behavioral issues. Not many rescues have a program like this. DRBC covers all costs for the Grandpaw pups until they pass away. Each one is put in an appropriate foster home to which suits their needs. Here is were they enjoy the rest of their days. DRBC never turns any case away and will do whatever it takes to help out. Such an amazing rescue and volunteers who give so much. Surely one of the best rescues I know of full of passion and affection. You become family when you volunteer or adopt from DRBC!
I began my association with DRBC as a donor in 2013 and, after following the organization's work for another year, decided to become more involved. I've now been fostering and serving as a volunteer staff member for about 1 1/2 years, and consider it a deeply satisfying privilege to be part of a rescue that works with such efficiency and integrity to put the dogs' welfare first.
I have been a volunteer at Dachshund Rescue of Bucks Country & NJ (DRBC) and have seen amazing rescue works and care provided by my fellow volunteers. I am constantly touched by DRBC's dedication to rescue and it's truly an honor to be part of this wonderful group.
We adopted our Noah through DRBC. They spent a lot of time, making sure that he was the right dog for our family, and that WE were the right family for HIM.
I especially appreciate that he came with a full complement of supplies (food, flea and tick treatment/preventative, heart worm preventative, supplements) so we could continue his feeding and care routine.
I have worked with a few different dog rescue groups in my lifetime and this is by far the best that we have come across. Rescue groups have a tendency to get "uppity" so to speak about who can have their dogs and they are can be extremely cruel to the people in the public and the organization itself as they see themselves as above it all. That is not the case with DRBC they care just as much for their members, fosters, and adopters, as they do for their dogs. They recognize that the success of the organization is dependent on the people and they do their best to make the people as happy as the dogs are. They obviously also do everything they possibly can to provide their dogs with a happy healthy fresh start on life by providing them training, medical care, loving safe homes, and anything else they could need.
I am a volunteer with Doxie Rescue of Bucks County & NJ. They are by far the most dedicated volunteer group I have ever worked with. They always go above and beyond to help dogs in need, and will go out of their way to serve any in need. I would absolutely rate them 5 stars!
My 1st foster 6 years ago I adopted adopted. My Jack was in a kill shelter in Virginia and DRBC got him out of that terrifying situation. Jack was only 2 years old at the time. He came home and met his brothers Irvy a chunky mini wheaton wired hair and Shakes a Bassethound/American Eskimo. Many other fosters came after Jack, and DRBC found them their forever homes. DRBC is a great organization and I feel fortunate to be part of DRBC.
We adopted our sweet puppy Aslan from DRBC. He is a wonderful boy we are very lucky to add to our family.
Absolutely honored to be welcomed into the DRBC family with my new addition, Mulligan. This group of volunteers is very responsive, attentive, and will make sure that all dachshunds get matched with the perfect person. I walked into my meet and greet not sure what to expect and left that day completely in love with my bundle of joy. I couldn't believe the story of abuse this cutie had gone through and it was extraordinary how well behaved and affectionate he was. This could only have been achieved through a group that truly believes in their cause and works tirelessly to make miracles and second chances happen. I can't express enough how grateful I am for the journey im taking with my little boy.
This is an excellent rescue who saves a lot of dogs who have big medical issues and finds them loving homes!

Thanks to DRBC we welcomed Vinny to our home 3 years ago. They were always there for friendly guidance & support. The care they give to doxies in need is outstanding. I've enjoyed supporting them in any way I can since they help so manywho are need & are neglected. Thanks DRBC for all you do!!!
The willingness to drop everything and rescue a pup in need is extraordinary. These volunteers go way above and beyond-spending many an over-night racing to emergency vetting, coordinating foster homes and being a rock on which foster parents can lean.
DRBC saves every dog they are asked to save. The officers and volunteers dedicate all of their time to saving lives. They are the most knowledgeable about the breed. They are the best rescue I've ever worked with.

I first saw this rescue in a local holiday parade. A few months later, I contacted them to become a foster parent. Now, I do volunteer work for them! They are a wonderful organization and I support them however I can. I truly believe in their cause. I now am the proud mom of two wonderful Doxies - Sam and Minnie. When no one else wanted them, I took them in. They have made my life complete. If not for this organization, so many dogs would be put down, mistreated and never know love. Moreover, these dogs give unconditional love (more than I can say for my own daughter). The President of this organization works tirelessly 24 hours a day for these dogs. She is truly a hero!
Our hearts broke when a house fire took 2 of our beloved doxies and displaced 5 more. We contacted many rescues, but only DRBC was wiling to help us through the crisis. They moved quickly and professionally to get our dogs to safety. Thank you DRBC for turning my tears of sadness to tears of joy.
What a phenomenal group. I assist with some of the veterinary needs for the group and have always been impressed with their kind hearts and responsive nature. No dachshund goes untreated and no animal is placed until healthy. Kind, compassionate and responsible are but a few of the words I would use to describe the actions of the DRBC Team. Donate or adopt with confidence!
I met the people at DRBC several years ago at an event and have followed them ever since. They are friendly, professional and make we wish I had a dachshund. They are a credit to rescue and always have the dogs best interest at heart.
What a phenomenal organization. I have had the opportunity to adopt from this group and was so impressed with the care they put into each dog and the process they use to place these precious little ones. We met in a home environment, not at a truck stop or on the side of a road, and got to meet the dogs and learn about the breed. We knew that little Charlie was the one for us and we are grateful to DRBC for helping him find us. Best wishes for future successes DRBC!
I have been a volunteer for DRBC for 1.5 years and very proud to be part of this organization. I have never met such a group of dedicated, hard working people. This includes the President, Vice President, Medical Director and each and every volunteer. DRBC NEVER SAYS NO to a doxie in need. No matter what time of day or night, someone is there to help.DRBC is also available to our adopters 24/7 who may have questions or need help. The foster program consists of trained volunteers who care for each doxie and give them a loving home before adoption. DRBC is very worthy of this award for great nonprofits. Thank you!
Dachshund Rescue of Bucks County is an amazing rescue organization. They have saved some of the worst cases of abandoned Dachshunds and helped turn them into thriving dogs. I will forever be a supporter of this organization.
Our family just adopted two doxies from DRBC. We were very please with the entire process. We had been in touch with other dachshund groups near us and were surprised that many required payment upfront and then would have us pick up our dog at the mall; not DRBC. We were please to be welcomed to a home environment where we met the dogs and made sure that we had the right fit before adopting. The volunteers are very knowledgeable and supportive and the dogs were loving and healthy! We are thrilled to be a new part of the DRBC family.
I was perusing Facebook one day and came across a Petfinder link for a mini Dachau (George). I fell in love, and so did my fiance. So I filled out the online form, paid the $25 adoption form fee, and then....I got my call. An hour later we had a in-home dachshund visit. So we packed up our dachshund, Kenny, and went to meet George. Sadly, George was not the dog for us but the entire time we were at the Doxie Rescue HQ, I just couldn't stop playing with Toby, he was so friendly and he just felt right to us. So we took Toby for a walk with Kenny......and then we took Toby home. He was the Yin to Kenny's Yang. Sadly after a few months, Toby was jumping around and injured himself. I immediately called Cindie (in tears!) and she got us all fixed up with a vet (Dr. Karen Collins), got us a cage for his rest, guided us through his treatment and were there 24/7 for us. As of today, Toby is not only his old lovable happy energetic self, he's even more healthy.
I really cannot stress that any dog I get in the future will come from these angels. God Bless.
I found DRBC on FaceBook and originally got involved after a request for foster families was made. I was impressed by the training and all of the support the organization supplied. I could not believe how little I had to spend. My job really was to love and learn about my foster doxie! When it came time to adopt, the team involved me and listened; they really care. I fostered 3 doxies for the group and had to stop when my job relocated me to the other side of the country, but I would highly recommend DRBC to anyone thinking of fostering or working with them. They are just fantastic!
I am a veterinarian with over 30 years in the field. I am pleased to support DRBC and have done so since they began. Their dedication to this breed is unwavering and the care they provide is top notch. All medical needs are addressed. Great group.
I started volunteering with DRBC a year ago when I became a foster family. I was interested because I wanted to help, but just didn't know how. I have since fostered 9 Dachshunds and have made such a great impact on their way to their forever homes. DRBC is a well established rescue group with over 30 years dedicated to saving dachshunds. I get great support from all those involved, and have even taken on more responsibility to recruit more volunteers. I love what we do!
Our family recently adopted from DRBC. What a great experience! We had looked around at several other rescues and were amazed at the difference with DRBC. It was a completely professional experience from start to finish. We have met the doxie of our dreams and have joined the DRBC family.
I am continually impressed by the work this group performs. I stop by from time to time and am proud to contribute. Most recently I was there when a dachshund that had received chemical burns was brought in; it was heartbreaking. The group moved to help without hesitation and helped this senior doxie with veterinary care and a loving and supportive medical home. Incredible.
DRBC is one of the best rescues I have encountered. I have worked in rescue for a long time and DRBC has the compassion, caring and integrity that I wish all rescues had. They genuinely care about their rescues and work diligently with them to place them in the right forever homes for them. They keep in contact with their rescues after placing them in their forever homes too and this is something not all rescues do. They are a top notch rescue and dedicate themselves to doing the best for the animals they rescue. The program they have for adoption is one of the best I've seen or heard about.
I own a doxie and had some questions about the breed. This group went above and beyond by helping me out. They gave me all the information I needed but, they also made sure I had everything I needed to take care of a special needs dog. They are very knowledgeable and do an awesome job getting these guys the homes they should have so they can live a happy and healthy life. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to own a Doxie or have questions about the breed as they are here to help not harm.
So the true story about dexter is he was taken in & left in a home he was taken care of went on family vacations dressed up 4 Halloween received Christmas gifts but unfortunately he was a very needy pup & needed full attention there were already 2 dogs that were rescued for 2 years dexter was worked with & tried to be socialized with the other animals in the house unfortunately over the past week b4 he was relincwished to this so called rescue he had become very aggressive & started fights with both dogs including 1 dog who's 15 and has epelepsy so in the best interest of all the animals & humans in the house we made a consous decision to relocate dexter to a home were he could b an only child it was unfair to dexter & the other animals & the fights began to escalate & dexter was becoming more aggressive so for all the animals safety & humans the decision was made to try & find him a more auotable home where he could spend the remaining years of his life being someone's everything. It was with a heavy heart he was sent 2 the rescue. When he arrived the rescue was informed he had been in a dog fight with 1 of the other dogs in the house & for everyone's safety it would b best if he not stay in the home it was also a fear that 1 of the dogs could b severely hurt or killed & no one wanted that so there r plenty of vet references personal reference & tons of the true dexter enjoying a very happy healthy life unfortunately for some reason these horrible misinformation is being put up & completely inaccurate I'm really not sure y a rescue would try to discredit a persons character when there r plenty of records to prove otherwise I pray dexter finds a loving family preferably without children or other pets as he's an awesome dog with a lot of love but doesn't want 2 share his furrever owners Good luck & we love & have always loved u dexter

DRBC is by far one of the best dachshund rescues with which to align yourself. They have been helping us to find our lost dachshund Rudy www.facebook.com/bringrudyhome for more than a year. They have dedicated time and material support to Rudy's rescue. Cindie Kura is the absolute best! She has given a great deal of her personal time to efforts to help us find our dachshund. Never fear; whether you are surrendering or adopting...this is a rescue that you want to contact.

Thank you Doxie Rescue of Bucks County and NJ. Your love for dachshunds and for their owners that love them will always be appreciated. We are forever in debt to you for your many efforts, kindnesses and most of all for your love of dachshunds in general and Rudy in particular.
I would deal with these folks without a doubt! And when our Rudy gets home, we definitely owe them a big debt of gratitude.
We have adopted three dogs from Doxie Rescue - including one dog that suffers from IVDD. We have found Doxie Rescue to be knowledgeable and supportive in dealing with the IVDD issues and helping us identify care providers who have helped us ensure that our girl has a full and happy life.

I have bred and shown dachshunds for over 20 years. It is a delight to work with a rescue group that possesses a high level of quality and passion for the breed. Their programs, in many ways, mirror the standards set forth by the Dachshund Club of America. It has been my experience that this group is caring, compassionate and has excellent attention to the medical and physical needs of the dachshunds they save. You can anticipate excellent results.
We adopted two dachshunds (Oskar & Snoopa) from DRBC and we are so grateful for these wonderful dogs. DRBC staff were so helpful during our first adoption of an older dog. I had grown up with dogs but never had a dachshund. DRBC helped us with breed specific information about diet, health issues associated with an older dog, and all manner of things related to dachshunds. Our second adoption came a few years later, and again, went very smoothly. What I love about DRBC is that they are always available to answer questions and provide advice about our dogs. I highly recommend this non-profit and commend the work that they to do. They are an excellent model for the way other rescues should be run.
A real caring organization. Their dogs are always fun to adopt. We had adopted two Dachshunds elsewhere, then we met with them, much closer to home. Over the years we have now taken 5 more into our "forever home" ! Now we are up to seven, but there is always room for more. This group is a lot of fun to deal with, always fun and caring. They really like doxies. Patient, loving and considerate. There the dogs are always Number One.
My husband & I contacted DRBC over 2 years ago for information on welcoming another doxie to our home . They were caring & willing to meet with us immediately to discuss the procedure for adopting within their organization. DRBC is very thorough & compassionate on who their doxies are placed with. The meet & greet with our current doxie was critical with the final outcome to determine if the dogs got along with no conflicts. We have a continued friendly relationship with DRBC & appreciate everything they do and all of the time that they dedicate to helping dachshunds in need.

DRBC have saved, protected and nurtured many dogs that otherwise would not be so fortunate.
As the foster coordinator for DRBC, I know first hand how much emphasis is placed on finding the perfect forever home for each of our dachshunds. We do rescue differently; we let the doxie "pick" the family to ensure a match of the heart. We keep adoptions in our region so we can always be close by. Each foster home is part of our family and we love working with each one. If you live in the Eastern PA or NJ area and want to make a real difference in a needy dachshund's life, then come join our team!
In my case, I have found DRBC to be a very caring organization. They have integrity and have nobly dedicated themselves to saving and extending the lives of dachshunds everywhere. I feel very lucky to know them. I am a dachshund lover and "owner", and will only settle for the absolute finest treatment of these animals. DRBC helps dachshunds continue to bring tremendous joy into our lives. They have been really awesome and I wish them the best going forward!
