WDCR Long Term Foster Dog Layla Needs Your Help!
Wyoming Dachshund and Corgi Rescue's long term foster mini Dachshund/Diva/Queen of the Doxies, Layla has developed aspiration pneumonia and is currently in the care of Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Hospital in Denver CO.  Late last week she developed labored breathing, lack of appetite and diarrhea.  Her regular vet recommended she go to a specialist for further diagnostics and treatment.  The initial diagnosis was Pulmonary Hypertension, which as this morning has been ruled out.  Layla has severe pneumonia and is dependent on O2 and IV broad spectrum antibiotics as well as continued hospitalization in an Oxygen therapy cage.  Layla is a very sick girl but at only 12 she has a lot of love to continue to give to this world and her foster mom and bonded fur brother Leo. She is alert, responsive and opinionated as ever. She let me know to make sure her staff is aware that her feet must not be touched and she would like them to be more gentle when cleaning her rear area TYVM! 👑
Layla's charges so far come to just over $5,000. VRCC does give a 10% discount for 501c3 rescues and have treated Layla like one of their own.  She's in loving hands and we are all praying for a full recovery!  
WDCR is in dire of need of funds to help offset the cost of Layla's hospitalization and treatment.  All donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small. 
UPDATE:  Sadly Layla was not able to recover from her severe pneumonia and we allowed her to cross peacefully in the arms of her loving foster family.  
Thank you to all who have so generously donated in her name. 
We were able to raise $2200 toward her $7000+ emergency care bills.  
​If you are still able to donate, we would be so grateful as we still have several dogs in foster with medical needs.

We are an all volunteer run non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to saving Dachshunds and Corgis in need of finding new homes. We take Dachshunds and Corgis and mixes of each,  from owner surrenders, shelters and strays from mainly Texas, Colorado and Wyoming but also occasionally from surrounding states.  
​The dogs brought into our rescue are in approved foster homes.  We expose them to as many different situations as we can while providing love, attention, guidance, house and basic training, nutritional food and plenty of mental and physical stimulation many of these dogs are craving . We believe strongly in setting them up for success.  We get to know all of our dogs very well before placing them for adoption.  This way we can make sure they end up in a forever home that best matches their needs and matches what their adopter is looking for in their next best friend.  All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, vetted, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped and dental treatment as needed. 

Ways to Help

Foster

​Fosters save lives isn't just a line, it true and fosters are the life blood of rescue!  The process is as simple as completing an application and a home check once we contact you to let you know you are approved.  Most of our fosters are in TX but we also have amazing fosters in CO and WY and in a few other north central states.

Adopt


When you adopt a dog through rescue, you save two dogs.  Because your new furbaby is going to his/her new home, we now have a spot in a foster home to save another! For more information about the adoption process, please see the FAQ tab above.
