At Wendal’s Way Dachshund Rescue, our values guide everything we do:
Prioritizing the welfare of dogs above all else.
Showing compassion to animals and people, especially in distress.
Respecting the value of animals, people, and the environment.
Emphasizing human responsibility for animal welfare.
Working with others to enhance animal well-being.
Balancing resources for positive outcomes.
Seeking innovative ways to improve animal welfare.
Acting with integrity and honouring commitments.
Our beliefs are rooted in:
All humans have an ethical, moral and legal duty to care for animals. We will fight to our last breaths to oppose puppy mills and others who breed dogs irresponsibly with no care for the betterment of the breed, but purely for their own profit.
Standards of animal care and welfare should be based on sound science as well as societal values.
The well-being of animals, people and the environment are inter-related. People who mistreat or neglect animals must be held accountable. Individuals should be educated on positive animal welfare and the protection of animals.
Our decisions should be based on the best available knowledge, which we gather by study, research, investigation, observation and/or experience. Humane education fosters empathy and respect for all living things.
Educating animal owners on their responsibility for the health and wellness of animals is an effective means to promote positive animal welfare.
