Guidelines & Procedures for a
Miniature Dachshund Rescue Service
Rescue Dachshund—a definition:
All Dachshunds, whether currently located in an SPCA shelter or in
a home where a problem has arisen, necessitating placement in an
adoptive home, or a lost dog returned to its owner.
The Miniature Dachshund Club of BC (MDCBC) will establish a Dachshund Rescue
Committee, with a club member designated the Rescue Coordinator, assisted by two
members as Rescue Assistants.
The Terms of Reference of the Rescue Committee will be as follows:
1. All Dachshunds in distress that are notified to the committee will be taken
in to temporary care. An Application Form will be completed by owners
requesting Rescue Services.
2. At their discretion the Rescue Committee, may request any club member to
support and provide temporary care and assistance as may be required.
3. If the breeders are known they will be asked to accept their dogs back.
4. All Standard Dachshunds will be passed to Ms. Bonnie Hayward for action.
5. General members will authorize the Rescue Committee to spend a maximum
of $100.00, for immediate use in the rescue of any miniature dachshund.
6. The Rescue Committee will decide how much care over and above $100.00
will be provided to any one miniature Dachshund rescued.
Operating Criteria
1. Each rescue case to be based on the individual dog.
2. Not every dog will need to be checked by a veterinarian, as some dogs will
come with their health records.
3. Before placement, home visitations are a necessity to check for suitability
of the home and the occupants.
