A dachshund dash unfolded this morning at Animal Care and Protective Services (ACPS) in Jacksonville, where a line of hopeful adopters waited outside the shelter hoping to adopt one of 19 available dogs. A local dachshund rescue, Dachshund Adoption Rescue and Education (DARE), expected to take in all the dogs but ultimately received only a few dozen. Alicia Duval, president of DARE, said she was initially preparing to pick up 100 dachshunds.

Research confirms what dog lovers know — every pup is truly an individual.
