FOSTERING

Becoming a foster volunteer makes a life-changing difference in just a few weeks.

At Dachshund Rescue UK, we work tirelessly to rescue animals from difficult situations and find them loving, permanent homes. But before that can happen, many of these animals need a safe, temporary place to stay — and that’s where our amazing foster families come in.

WHY FosteR?

When you open your home and heart to foster a Dachshund, you give them a second chance. You provide a safe, nurturing environment where they can de-stress and regain their confidence. Fostering is vital to helping dachshunds in challenging situations.

What does fostering involve?

As a foster carer, you’ll take care of the animal in your home for a short period — anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on their needs. You’ll provide primary care such as feeding, exercise, and love. In some cases, you may also help with socialisation, training, or administering medications (we’ll provide all the guidance and supplies you need). The best part? You’ll witness firsthand the transformation of a needy  Dachshund into a confident, happy companion ready to find their forever family.

Who Can Foster?

You don’t need to be an expert. However, experience with dogs, especially dachshunds, would be of great value as many of our dachshunds going into foster care will have some behavioural issues.  

A secure garden and a willingness to help. Whether you have other pets or live alone, we’ll work with you to find the best foster fit for your household. Fostering is a flexible way to volunteer — it’s a perfect option if you can’t commit to adopting right now but still want to make a huge impact.

We do require two-character references, preferably from dog owners. 

WHY FosteR With us?

We’re with you every step of the way. Our team provides all the support you need.

– 24/7 support and guidance from our foster and rehoming coordinators.

Fostering is rewarding. Seeing a Dachshund flourish in your care is unmatched. By fostering, you play a crucial role in their journey to finding a loving home.
