LVHDDCR is run totally on a volunteer basis. We have operated as LVHDDCR and as
our previous meetup group all by volunteers for the past 6 years. We can
not survive and maintain what we do for our members, the community and the
dachshunds without volunteers. No volunteer position is unnecessary and is
ALWAYS welcomed and appreciated, no matter how small. If you are interested
please fill out the form below. You will be added to our list and contacted as
we need your help as needs arise. You may change/update your interests at any
time.
