The DRBC Foundation Groups

The DRBC Foundation is proud to support the efforts made on behalf of the Homer and Penelope Funds. This is truly a special arm of our rescue reaching out to help dachshunds in homes where a small form of assistance can make all the difference, where education about our breed and its sometimes unique needs is paramount, and where the support of on-going research will help to improve the quality and quantity of years these beloved creatures spend with us.
