Have you considered starting a rescue?Please contact helpmedream (at) gmail.com if you are interested in starting your own rescue group. We can set you up with forms, processes, legal templates, and lots of advice and support. Rescue is a grassroots thing, and we think it works best done on a small scale by lots of people. Donations, Donations, Donations 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, and to take responsibility for finding a home for your dog if you cannot keep him / her for any reason. 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! |
