Happy Tails Dachshund Rescue (“HTDR”) is a 501(c)(3) organizations whose mission is to save as many dachshunds as possible from suffering and premature death due to abuse, neglect, abandonment, injury, or illness. They foster unwanted dogs whose owners are no longer able or willing to provide for their care, and place them with adoptive families who can provide loving, forever homes. They spay/neuter all dogs before adoption and contact adoptive families in the first week to check on the health of their relationship with their new pet. HTDR’s area of operation is the East Valley of Greater Phoenix, Casa Grande and north Tucson.
