The best way to proceed is by filling out an adoption application for the specific dog you’re interested in. While we do receive and review applications in the order they are received, our primary goal is to find the best possible match for each dog based on their individual needs and the suitability of the applicant’s home environment. Completing an adoption application helps us assess your suitability as a potential adopter and allows us to provide you with more information about the dog you’re interested in. Thank you for your interest in our rescue dogs!

Being a “dachshund and doxie mix-based rescue” means that the primary focus of Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue is on rescuing and caring for dachshunds (also known as “doxies”) as well as dachshund mixes.

Begin by visiting RMDR’s website. Our organization has a dedicated section where you can fill out an application to volunteer or foster. We look forward to speaking with you about volunteering opportunities.

Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue is a home-based foster organization. We do not have a physical building. We operate primarily through a network of volunteer foster homes rather than a central facility. Our foster volunteers open their homes and hearts to provide a safe and nurturing environment for dachshunds in need. In this way, homeless dachshunds are placed in temporary foster homes where they receive care, socialization, and sometimes training until they are adopted into permanent homes.
