You can help dachshunds with Rocky Mountain Dachshund Rescue (RMDR)! Being a foster is doable! Turn your home into a welcoming B&B for a dachshund in need, on their way to their forever family! Spoil your little BFF with soft blankets and love–giving them a place to heal.

Don’t doubt your own ability to make a difference & to have a ripple effect of good in the world!

Fosters do face challenges but we have your back and get through them together. We figure out what seems un-figure-out-able. You’re not alone at RMDR and if you have a question, or wonder if there’s an easier way to do something, or even-how to take care of something, many or our fosters have experience fostering dachshunds, growing up around doxies–and we try to help each other out! We believe it’s a little easier when you’re not alone.

If you’d like to give fostering a try, please fill out this form, and we’ll get in touch with you to discuss what is involved in being a foster at RMDR. We hope to talk to you soon!
