The Long Dog Hub Foundation

Our not-for-profit arm, being set up to help dachshunds with back problems and the people who love them.

What we hope to do

The Foundation is still being set up. These are the goals that guide it.

Supporting dachshunds through IVDD recovery, from rehab to mobility gear.

Working alongside dachshund rescues that care for and rehome dogs with back problems.

Free, clear education for owners on prevention, early signs and back scoring.

Be part of the Foundation from the start. Join a community of dachshund lovers who want to help long dogs live happy, healthy, pain-free lives.
