Foundation Support

The DRBC Foundation Groups

Not long after the founding of DRBC it became clear that many good homes needed a level of support that did not include rescue and rehoming.  The DRBC Foundation Group was established within the rescue in 1995 to help support families seeking compliance to a sound veterinary plan who would not otherwise be able to keep their beloved dachshund.  Renamed the Penelope Fund in 1997, this arm of the foundation has sought to educate dachshund owners and increase the compliance effort towards a 100% spay/neuter rate and continually works to achieve a similar goal with AMVA vaccination requirements.

Expansion of the foundation in 1997 to include the Homer Fund allowed our foundation to mirror the community effort of keeping loved and well cared for animals in their current home in spite of a critical injury or complex medical condition. Homer's Fund is pleased to support on-going research into many of the major medical problems effecting our breed today.

The DRBC Foundation is proud to support the efforts made by 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.

The Homer Fund

Operating in Eastern PA and NJ for the last 12 years DRBC is pleased to welcome the Homer Foundation and its community outreach efforts to the DRBC Foundation family of charities. 

Initially established to assist dachshund owners that could not afford the high cost of spinal surgery, Homey expanded his efforts over the years to include kidney and orthopedics and expanded his canine breeds to include cats!  Go Homey! 

Homey asks us to always remember the importance of Pet Insurance and to exhaust all Care Credit efforts before we turn to him for a loan or outright support, but this Foundation honors the best in the pet-family bond stepping in when others may not.

A life saving disk surgery, a cancer treatment or an ongoing support of a doxie in renal failure are but a few of the major tasks undertaken by The Homer Foundation. Since it's inception in 1997 the Homer Fund has intervened with  over $150 thousand dollars of veterinary support.

Now you can be a part of Homey's group and reach back to the community.  Your donation can be the difference in someone's life.  Please help us support the region we serve by giving a gift today.

The Penelope Fund

Penelope was very special.  This fund has been dedicated to her memory with the knowledge that this special little girl will forever stay in our hearts.  Penelope was 20.5 yrs old when she left us in November 2006.  A certified therapy dog, Penel herself was a rescue. A gentle and kind doxie, she  trained many a rescue for a new life with a loving family.  It is with this sediment that Penelope’s Fund has been established.

Animals which are happy and healthy are less likely to require rehoming. Knowing this, the Penelope Fund seeks to support veterinary care where:

  • A spay/neuter will assist in controlling the pet population and keep a dog in its current home.

  • Proper vaccinations and parasitic plans contribute to the health and well-being of an animal and make the difference in responsible ownership or relinquishment to DRBC.

  • The addition of a cart or other support device maintains or improves the quality of the animals life.

  • The general welfare of an animal can be addressed including food, medications and veterinary care.

Penelope's funds address the needs of those in our region: Pennsylvania and New Jersey.  This continues the DRBC goal of 'think global, act local' in helping to bring the best in veterinary care to those in need while expanding our knowledge of the dachshund dog from the four corners of the world.

Helping those most in need of the simplest forms of support is what this fund is all about.  Here at the DRBC Foundation we hope Penel would be proud. 

Now you join our effort on her behalf.  Your donation will help us save one, until there are none.
