Have you considered becoming a foster home?If you have time and love to spare, consider becoming a DREAM foster home. Our foster homes find the experience extremely rewarding. Fostering allows you to have a direct impact on the lives of many dachshunds who otherwise would have no hope. The lack of foster space is our biggest limitation to saving more dachshunds. We are forced to turn away dachshunds almost every day because we do not have the space to house them. There are just too many. Contact kristin.leydig.bryant (at) gmail.com to talk about life as a foster home.
Donations, Donations, Donations Our second biggest limitation is money. If you can help financially, we are always in need of donations to pay for veterinary care for our dachshunds. Since we are volunteer-run, and have many of our services (like web hosting) donated, our non-veterinary expenses are extremely low. Our policy is that 90% of our funds raised go to medical care, but the reality is closer to 95%. Contact sherryaden (at) bellsouth.net if you have any questions about donating. What else can I do?And if you cannot donate time or money, the biggest thing you can do to help dachshunds is to make sure your own are spayed or neutered. There are far more dachshunds than there are homes; please do not add more to that number. We also can use help with Howl-O-Weenie, our annual October event. Can you volunteer for an hour or two cooking hotdogs, selling t-shirts, managing the flow of contests, helping with registration, trimming doggie nails (for vet techs), micro-chipping, registering calendar contest entries, setting up, or cleaning up? We need you! Contact blclark (at) comcast.net to volunteer. |
