How you can help?

Be a foster parent!

The BEST WAY you can help us is to be a foster parent to a dachshund in need. We are in constant demand of full-time approved foster homes. The dachshunds that we take in are so innocent and often just need a little TLC to help them learn that not all people are so awful. If you would be interested in fostering a dachshund, please read more here!!

If you can't foster full time, could you help us for a week or two at the holiday times: Christmas, Thanksgiving or 4th of July? When foster parents go on vacation at holiday times, we need temporary foster homes until they return. If you would be interested in fostering ONLY at the holiday time, please read about fostering here and then contact us via e-mail as ALL foster help is greatly appreciated.

Post our adoption flyer.

Do you have a favorite hang out, or a place you always see lots of other dogs? Please post our Dachshund Rescue Flyer as you travel around Houston. It has pictures of the variety of dachshunds folks can find with us and information about how to find our website. Please help us and get the word out about Dachshund Rescue.

Tell your friends & family about us.

The next best way to help us is to simply tell your friends and family about us. Word of mouth is the most common way we find adopting homes and volunteers. While we do have strict adoption policies, we are working constantly to find the most appropriate homes for our babies. Please share your positive experiences of Dachshund Rescue with anyone you meet.

Volunteer for us at an event.

We do not have many events in a year that we attend simply because we are so small of an organization. If you check out our Events page and we are asking for volunteers, please help us out!! Dachshund Rescue will support and attend more events as we grow more confident that we have the volunteers to support us. So please, volunteer for an event or just contact us that you are interested and we'll e-mail you when we find out about the next event we are supporting.

Donate Funds or Supplies.

Of course monetary donations are ALWAYS appreciated and will be used to help the sickest dachshunds. You can donate to Dachshund Rescue of Houston by making a donation RIGHT NOW through the PayPal Donate Button below.

Another way you can help us is to donate supplies. While vetting a dachshund can be expensive, we often spend our own money to maintain our day to day operations among our the rescued dachshunds we are fostering. We need:

~ Dry Dog food (Nutro Brand, please)
~ Dog collars (old or new), length 8 to 18"
~ Towels (old or new) for bathing, burrowing under, or sleeping on
~ Dog Crates and Dog Beds (any size, old or new)
~ Cow Hooves or Nyla-bones
~ Heartgard Heartworm pills
~ Advantage or Frontline flea prevention
