Thank you for applying to volunteer with our organization.

If you want to foster for DREAM, please use our Foster Application Form.
If you want to adopt a DREAM dog, please use our Adoption Application Form.

This application is the first step in our process:  

1. Complete this application, and we'll review it.

2. Two-way Dialogue - let's chat! You ask us questions, we ask you questions.

3. Reference Checks- If you'll be in contact or caring for dogs (transporting etc), we'll need to check references.


Our organization is run completely by volunteers, so sometimes the process doesn't move quickly. We're doing the best we can, with full-time jobs and life's demands. Most of us foster dogs, work with shelters, and perform reference and home checks. It's a lot of work, and we do it because we love the dachshund breed, not because we're paid (we aren't...except in doggie kisses). Please be patient with us if we don't move as quickly as you would like.

Thank you for loving the longdogs.

We look forward to getting to know you.
