Furever Dachshund Rescue Committees
All of our members joined a specific committee when they became a member of FDR. Not only does being part of a committee allow you to put into practice what you do best but it also opens up many avenues to get to know your fellow rescuers. We are all one team and will accomplish the most by working together for our one common goal of helping abandoned and abused dachshunds!
