Rescue is searching for a few great volunteers to foster some extraordinary furry residents. These precious pups are rescued from shelters for their age or health.

A foster parent of a dog is somewhat similar to a foster parent of a child. Prospective parents need to go onto The Florida Dachshund Rescue website and fill out a form with their interest. A representative will schedule a home visit to see if you’re an excellent fit for a dog. If you can’t adopt, you may be able to foster.

It takes a special heart.

The Rescue accepts all forms of dachshunds, including mixed breeds. It takes a special heart to receive these dogs into your home and show them love again.

Opening your heart and home is much more than giving these dogs food and water and a bed. It is about introducing love and comforting them. Loving them for who they are right now.

Seeking: Loving Companion with a Special Heart

By Marcetta Davis-Linton

It’s so worth it.

Owning a senior dog is just like owning a puppy, except you have to be willing to say goodbye. Senior dogs require just a pinch more love and care and are often harder to place. Many senior dogs come with health problems such as cataracts, diabetes, missing limbs, or memory issues. They are more work, but to let them live out their final days, surrounded

by love, is so worth it.

The only money the Florida Dachshund Rescues receives is from the adoption of a dachshund. The organization relies on other organizations, such as Amazon Smiles and eBay auctions.

Taking care of an animal proves to be beneficial to both a human and an animal. So, if you are in the market for a dachshund, check out Florida Dachshund Rescue for a fur baby. You won’t regret it. In fact, you will be rewarded. They will thank you, and your heart will thank you. Rescues are some of the most loving dogs you will meet.
