Help and Support

Join our community and help support these little doxie friends on their very big, life changing journeys to the love and security of their forever families.

Ways You Can Help

1. Make Memorial (a.k.a. Tribute) Gifts
Make a gift in honor of someone you love, including a pet who has crossed the rainbow bridge. We will be happy to add a photo of your loved one to our Rainbow Bridge page.

2. Estate Planning
By leaving a legacy gift to Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue through your will or trust, you become a lasting part of the rescue’s mission. Your generous contribution will be instrumental in providing the necessary services for dachshunds in need, both now and in the future. Your commitment to supporting these beloved animals will leave a lasting impact, contributing to the well-being and care of dachshunds for years to come.

3. Become a Sponsor
Support Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue by becoming a business sponsor today! Sponsorship is a wonderful way for businesses to make a lasting impact on the lives of dachshunds in need. Whether you choose to sponsor the rescue as a whole or a specific dog in our care, your contribution ensures that our work can continue.
As a sponsor, we will proudly promote your business on our social media feeds, giving you visibility within our passionate community of animal lovers. Additionally, we’ll provide a link back to your business from the RMDR website, further showcasing your support.
By sponsoring a specific dachshund, you’ll not only cover their vet bills but also receive regular updates on their progress, building a special connection with the dog you’re helping. To begin your sponsorship journey and make a difference, please Contact Us today!

4. Start a Fundraiser
An example of this is the “Create a Nonprofit Fundraiser on Facebook” opportunity to accept donations for a charity on your birthday. We would love for you to choose Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue, but if not us we hope you will support another non-profit. Come out to support us at one of our fundraising or community events.

5. Workplace Giving Plan
Companies match employee donations to nonprofits. This is an easy way for an employee to have their donation make twice the impact. Please check with your human resources (HR) or your benefits representative to see if your employer offers a donation matching program.

6. Shop & Support RMDR at Smith’s, King Soopers, and City Market
Helping dachshunds has never been easier! Every time you do your regular grocery shopping, you can make a difference. RMDR is part of Kroger’s Inspiring Donations Community Rewards program. Click here to enroll and start supporting the rescue today!

7. Make Doxie Dreams Come True
Visit RMDR’s Chewy.com Wish List, or contact us to donate to a specific dog you’ve seen on our website or social media. Many dachshunds come to us (especially from shelters) with nothing. The dogs seem to take a lot of comfort in the fuzzy donut shaped beds.

8. Get Involved
Another way to help is to join our efforts from a non-monetary place–giving your time and expertise to help us operate the rescue. Sign up to volunteer or contact us if you have questions.

9. Help a Dog in Your Home
Think about becoming a temporary foster or permanent foster. (Temporary fosters cover when the permanent foster travels or when a new dog needs help and we’re working to find their permanent foster. A permanent foster is the dogs family who take them to vet appointments and give them love until the day they’re adopted by their forever family. Saying goodbye when they’re adopted can be difficult, but this is an act of irreplaceable service to the dogs in need. Fill out the foster application to get started.

10. Adopt a Rescued Dachshund
Ready to add a doxie to your family? Instead of getting a dog from the pet store or breeder please consider adopting a rescued dachshund to help reduce the consumer cycle and breeding. The dogs who come through the rescue are updated on their vaccinations, visit the vet for a well check up, spayed/neutered, receive a microchip and given a dental or follow up visits as recommended by their vet.
