What is a "Permanent Foster Dog"?
A Permanent Foster Dog is a rescue animal that will remain under the care and support of Devoted 2 Dachshunds Rescue for their entire lifetime, while living in a loving foster home. These special dogs typically have medical or behavioural challenges that make traditional adoption unfeasible, but they still deserve to experience the comfort and stability of family life.
When a dog enters our Permanent Foster program:
- They are placed with a dedicated Foster Carer who provides a loving home environment
- Devoted 2 Dachshunds Rescue assumes responsibility for ALL medical costs throughout the dog's life
- The arrangement continues until the dog peacefully passes away
Our Permanent Foster Population
Currently, we have 35 dogs in Permanent Care with varying ages and medical conditions. Each one receives the specialized attention and treatment they need to live their best possible life, despite their challenges.
Here is an example of costs:
Honey – Heartworm positive & Mammary Cancer - $4100.00
Winnie – Immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (IMT) - $16,258.50
Audrey – IVDD surgery x 2 - $17,341.50
Bluey – Megaesophagus - $13,718.00
The Financial Reality
While emergency medical fundraisers often receive immediate attention and generous support during a dog's "hour of need," our Permanent Foster program requires consistent, ongoing funding to maintain proper care for these special animals.
Presently we are the only Dachshund Rescue in Australia that will accept Dachshunds that present in an emergency with IVDD and needing surgery.
"Each one of these surgeries costs the Charity a minimum of $10K"
Your consistent support ensures that all our dogs—but especially those in Permanent Foster Care—receive the medical attention and quality of life they deserve for years to come.
When we say consistent support, this is financial support that comes in either weekly, monthly or fortnightly on a regular basis and it helps us to manage our costs more effectively.
Understanding Charity Reserves
Continual, ongoing regular donations help us to build our Reserves which play an important role in the financial stability and long-term sustainability of D2DR. Managing reserves is an important aspect of the overall financial management of our charity, which is a crucial element of good charity governance.
This continual funding then allows our Treasurer to allocate funds based on what is known to be incoming and manage the Reserves accordingly. Developing and maintaining our charity’s reserves can help us to ensure its long-term financial stability, which will help it continue to work towards its charitable purpose.
