A Heartfelt Thank You to The Allen Foundation – We are deeply honored to share that Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue (RMDR) has received a generous unsolicited grant from The Allen Foundation—a nationally recognized philanthropic family trust supporting innovative charitable efforts in animal welfare, healthcare, and quality of life since 1991.
This extraordinary gift is nothing short of a dream answered. It allows us to focus less on fundraising and more on what we’re here to do: rescue, rehabilitate, and heal dachshunds and doxie-mixes in need.
Because of The Allen Foundation’s support, we can continue helping dogs get “back on their paws” with supportive veterinary care like wellness visits, testing, vaccinations, allergy relief, dentals, fighting infections and the long list of little things that add up to a second chance at a life filled with belly rubs, soft beds, and forever families.
Each dog’s journey—from frightened to joyful, not meeting your eyes to chasing balls and zoomies, shut down to snuggly—their recovery is a testament to what loving, compassionate foster families (and really good vet care) can do. This grant will help us give our foster dogs a positive pivot from heartbreak and loss, to good health and recovery of spirit.
To the team at The Allen Foundation: thank you for believing in RMDR’s mission. Your generosity lightens the load, lifts our hearts, and quite literally saves lives. We’re grateful beyond words—for your trust, for your kindness, and for the long-and-low, big-hearted dogs who will thrive because of it.
With all our thanks and warm wags,
The RMDR Team
