Open Your Home. Change a Life.
Every dachshund deserves a safe place to land. Sometimes, all it takes to save a life is someone willing to open their heart and home until forever comes along.
Fostering is one of the most meaningful ways you can help a dachshund in need.
At Dachshund Rescue of Los Angeles, our foster families are the heart of everything we do. They provide a loving, temporary home where rescued dachshunds can feel safe, recover, build confidence, and begin their journey toward a forever family.
Some of our dogs arrive frightened and uncertain. Others need time to heal from illness, surgery, or neglect. Many simply need a warm bed, a little patience, and someone to remind them what it feels like to be loved.
As a foster, you’ll help us learn about each dog’s personality, habits, and individual needs. These insights are invaluable in helping us find the right forever home.
You don’t have to do it alone.
Our rescue team works alongside our foster families, offering guidance and support throughout the journey. Whether you’re experienced with dachshunds or considering fostering for the first time, we’d love to hear from you.
Fostering isn’t always easy. Saying goodbye can be bittersweet. But watching a dog who once needed rescuing leave for a wonderful new life is a reward unlike any other.
You provide the love. Together, we give them a future.
