The Hearts Behind the Rescue

Behind every rescued dachshund is someone who opened their heart and home. Our foster families are the quiet heroes of DRLA, offering love, patience, and a safe place to land while each dog waits for a forever family.

Here, we'll celebrate the wonderful people who make our rescue possible, share their stories, and introduce you to the dogs whose lives they've helped change.

Meet Madelynne 🧡

A Heart for Animals, A Home Full of Love

For Madelynne, rescuing animals has always been a part of life. As a veterinary technician for Wonder Dog, and an owner of  a mobile veterinary care and boarding business, caring for animals is both her profession and her passion.

Through fostering with Dachshund Rescue of Los Angeles, Madelynne hopes to share something especially meaningful with her daughter: the importance of compassion, kindness, and giving animals in need a second chance.

We're so grateful to have Madelynne as part of our DRLA foster family. It's wonderful people like her who make rescue possible!

Meet Lillian 🧡

A Steady Hand, A Loving Heart, and One Very Special Dachshund

When Coffee needed someone most, Lillian was there. From the shelter through a medical emergency, surgery, and recovery, she stood beside this sweet little dachshund every step of the way.

Taking on the care of a dog with serious medical needs can feel overwhelming, but Lillian's love for animals—and especially dachshunds—gave her the courage to say yes. She welcomed Coffee into her home, determined to give him the safety, patience, and gentle care he needed to heal.

What makes Lillian so special is her willingness to keep helping. She's already offered to support other dachshunds recovering from IVDD surgery and to assist with future shelter rescues.

For Coffee, Lillian has been so much more than a foster. She's been his advocate, his comfort, and his safe place to land. 🧡
