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. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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 it 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.

9. 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.
