Open Positions

• Fosters and Volunteers are always welcome. If you have a special professional skillset, Grant Writing, Fundraising, Veterinary, Medical, Legal, etc. and would like to volunteer we would love to hear from you too!  

Our Fosters: The Heart of RMDR — Our fosters are the foundation of everything we do. You open your homes, your hearts, and your lives to dachshunds in need—providing them with love, stability, and a safe haven during times of transition. We couldn’t do this without you!
