782 campaigns 45407 contributions received $1,726,168 raised Member since January 2013

We are a 100% volunteer run and 100% donation funded organization—no overhead, no fancy offices, no high paid execs, and no glossy commercials—just a bunch of people who love doxies enough to forgo sleep and probably retirement to make sure they find good homes. Every dollar helps and we make sure each and every single one of them goes as far as it possibly can... On average, the vetting of each DRSF Doxie we welcome to our family is over $1,000 (we have some seriously geeky number crunchers who need to get out more....). We are not backed by large corporations or grants, but by people just like you, who love doxies, and love an happy ending. Would you consider a tax deductible donation of any size to support us?

💙 Sixteen Years of Loyalty — and Left Behind 💙Wonka's Story

Seeing any dog in the shelter as a "stray" nearly rips your heart out, but when we found out this sweet, chocolate little man was 16 years old, we were stunned. There are very few ways a 16 year old can be a "stray" but we were wil...
