Love is free but not much else is. We do all we can to raise funding to help the furkids many ways. Sometimes it just isn’t enough. $3000 for Mysique so she would have a chance at life, shots to remain healthy, spay/neuters to help end the cycle, microchips so they will be safe, dentals, heartworm preventative, wormers…just to start. Wont you consider helping us help them? Every single dollar adds up. If everyone who follows our page donated a single dollar imagine the possibilities of how many doxies that would help! Thank you for watching our video. <3
We will be giving anyone who donates $25 a 2016 DDRT Calendar. $50 a DDRT T-Shirt and for a $100 donation you will receive both a 2016 DDRT Calendar and a TShirt. Please specify size and color choice on tshirt. We have red, blue, yellow, pink and purple available. S-2XL.

Please help us with all these wonderful furbabies and get them healthy again!

You can donate on our donation page here, or donations can also be made directly to our vet at Parkside Animal Hospital 303-699-3344.

Don’t forget we are also selling zip-hoodies to continue providing care and medical expenses for our rescue dogs!

Help us raise funds for medical care and the needs of our furkids.

Many of our dachshunds come from very poor conditions. They have never had proper medical care, toys or good nutrition to be happy and healthy. Our furkids receive all of these things while they are waiting for their furever families to find them. Good food, toys, a soft clean bed to sleep in and medical care to live long healthy lives. Please help support the sweet furkids and their bright futures with one of our DDRT zip-hoodies, multiple colors to choose from!  Only 11 days left and they’ll also make great gifts! Hint! Hint!

Meet & Greet*July19th 2015*12-3pm

Hi All,
As some of you know, I will be hosting a donation/adoption event to support Denver Dachshund Rescue and Transport next Sunday, July 19th, from Noon – 3pm.

1565 Spruce St., Denver, CO 80220

Denver Dashchund Rescue and Transport is close to my heart, as this is where I found little Sally, who unfortunately passed away in December of last year. The rescue organization helps hundreds of dogs each year and works tirelessly to ensure their safety and health while with them. They go above and beyond to give these beautiful dogs another chance at life. Because of the amazing work they do, I feel it’s important to give back, and part of each commission I earn, will go back to support this organization.

From a donation perspective, they are looking for paper towels, cleaning supplies, dog toys, dog blankets or beds, dog food, and of course any cash donations are appreciated. As well, adoptable dogs will be here and waiting to find their forever homes with you!

We will have giveaways, prizes, and hot dogs on the grill (what else would you expect from a dachshund and dogs event?!?!). 🙂 Please come out and support this organization and the work they do, I promise it will be a lot of fun!

Please also feel free to forward on to all of your connnections, and anyone you think may be interested in helping out.

I look forward to seeing you next Sunday! If you have any questions, please let me know. Address and details are attached to this email.

Sincerely,
Erin Lemmons

Ali, George, & Laila Fighting for their lives!

 

11402742_1660991740797552_5938268417805410785_n

On 6/9/15 we received a litter of puppies from out of state. Ali and George are trying to win the toughest fight in their lives. Fighting to live and survive with Parvo! Please help us help them! We have over 5000 followers. A single dollar from each follower would treat them.

Today (6/11/15) Laila joins her brothers at the Emergency Care Center. She also has the parvo virus which is not a surprise. She will receive the best care also to give her a shot at life. This one simple careless act has now become devastating financially to DDRT. This time of year is very busy with dogs needing help. Our funds go out to help dogs as fast as they come in. As you can see in the photos the estimated cost for care for these three is on the low cost $4,796.86 to the high Lailaside of $11,275.06. At this point if the last two brothers become sick we can not pay for their care. Fate has decided for us that their lives become null because of money. We have raised $1000 for the boys but had to pay in full before the little girl could be admitted. We have always made the choice that every life matters. Unfortunately we only have so much money to be able to help them and even as amazing the center we use is no emergency clinic will extend credit for care. At this moment I am crushed and deflated. I just do not see any light at the end of the tunnel for this little family. How can we say no to the care of the remaining brothers when they also exhibit signs of this terrible virus. frown emoticon

Ali, George, and Laila are fighting for their lives today after having arrived to us on 6/9/15 with Parvo. There are 5 pups in this litter, the odds are against the other two not having Parvo and the costs are high to treat this disease. Please help us do all we can do to give these pups a chance at a life and love of a family of their own. Something they have yet to experience in their young lives. Please help us help them!

Please share our fundraiser if you can not donate.

You can donate through our website HERE.

You can also donate directly to the animal care center where the 3 puppies are being treated.

Dachshund group pays visit to Keller

When David Rogers met his dachshund Camouflage last year, he knew he’d met the love of his life.

“Anyone who has not, should adopt,” said Rogers, chief operating officer of Keller Bros. automotive shop, proclaimed on his Facebook page. “Best experience of my life.”

And as a result, the shop’s mutually beneficial relationship with Denver Dachshunds Rescue and Transport was born.

“He’s a big supporter of the dogs,” said Jamie Roberson, founder of DDRT. “And he’s kept `Old Yeller,’ our only rescue vehicle, going at no charge.”

Roberson visited Keller Bros. on Dec. 10 with Oreo and Kindy, two of the most adorable little “doxies” one could hope to meet. They are curious, happy and eager to cuddle anyone with an outstretched hand.

“Dachshunds have so much character and so much personality trapped in those little bodies,” said Roberson.

They were there as part of Keller Bros.’ “Hump Day is Help Day” program, during which they donate $5 for every full-price oil change they perform on Wednesdays to a local charity. As an added bonus, they added Thursdays to the mix this year.

“We love our community, and we know you do too,” reads a release announcing the program. “That’s why we’re going the extra mile to give back.”

In November, the company raised $160 for Denver Rescue Mission and is hoping to beat that for DDRT in December. The money is used to help better the lives of dachshunds and other small dogs, and the lives of their owners. The group has helped with vaccinations and other medical treatments, reunited lost pets with owners, rescued little ones from puppy mills, and offered shelter in disasters.

“Rescued dogs aren’t always damaged goods,” said Dorothy Lueloff, DDRT volunteer. “Sometimes it’s just about life changes.”

That’s the reason they created the “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” program, partly designed to help seniors hold on to their very loved and important companions.

“If people truly love them, and it’s just a matter of money, there’s no reason not to keep them,” said Roberson.

Postponed*Meet & Greet at Petco*Feb 22*11-4

POSTPONED! Because of the snow storm blowing it’s way in to Denver we will be postponing this meet and greet until March 1st! So we will have the next two back to back weekends.

Doxie Lovers, the weatherman is saying we may be in for a good bit of snow this weekend. Please check here for updates at the weekend draws closer. We will not bring the kids out if roads are dangerous and we do not want anyone to brave the roads if we will not be there. This is CO though so anything can happen. We could get “0” as easy as 2 ft…….lol

Next time come out to meet the DDRT Doxie Team and to adopt your new best friend!
