About The Dogs

 It can be hard on them going from one home to another. You must be understanding and loving. We also have many senior dachshunds which due to their age many do not want to adopt them. Many have never experienced the love and life they should of had. They deserve so much love in their golden years even if it is only for a short time. Once the comfort level goes up, the need to stick to you like Velcro will go down. Others may be a little more stand offish, and within time will learn to trust you and will come to you slowly. This means they need patience, love and guidance to fit into your world. When you open your heart and your home to a dog that needs help, they really do show their appreciation for the rest of their life! Dogs that have been uprooted from their homes, or have had difficult beginnings are likely to bond completely and deeply with their new human caretakers who they view as heroes. With an adult dog, what you see is what you get. Their personality is already developed, and you'll be able to spot the characteristics you're looking for much more easily than with a puppy. They are also great because they have already passed the puppy chewing stage and are already potty trained.

 As a dachshund breeder, we have to make the decision to adopt out some of our adults when the time comes.  Each and every one is very special to us and it is always such a heartbreaking time to see one go. Each one is treated like a family member of our home and we will miss them dearly but as much as we would love to be able to keep them all, we know it is best for them to go to a forever home where they can get the individual attention they so deserve. I also offer on going lifetime support & enjoy staying in touch along with babysitting if need be.

Environment

Our primary concern is to find the right dog for the right home. We can tell you if a dog will be happiest with other dogs or without other dogs in the home, if they will be okay with cats, and if they'll be okay with children of certain ages.

We work with applicants to find the right energy level of dog for their family and the right temperament. We want to ensure that this adoption will be the last one our dachshund must face.

Homes with fenced yards are strongly preferred, but exceptions are made based on the size, age and activity level of the dog. We do accept applicants that live in apartments or other rental situations, as long as the landlord approves of the adoption. We require a landlord reference for all renters.

Adoption Process (Please read this first!)

1.)  View our list of adoptable adult dachshunds & fosters below.
2.) Email us and we will send you our ADOPTION APPLICATION in Microsoft Word format which you will need to fill out completly and email back to us. List the names of all the dogs you're interested in. Our main concern is matching the right do to the right home. If you don't currently see a dog that matches your family, please tell us more about what you're looking for. We will contact you if a dog comes in that meets your requirements. Don't forget to list the name and number of your current veterinarian and landlord, if applicable! We will contact your current vet, landlord and personal references. 
3.) After we receive your application, we'll contact you to discuss the specifics of what you're looking for. We will try to contact you within 3-7 days, so be patient with us! 
4.) Once we have completed all reference checks, we will schedule a visit with you in our home where you can meet your desired adult dachshund. Most but not all our dachshunds are in our home but we do have some which are in foster home and not in one central location. We will only schedule one visit at a time per dog.

5.) Any puppy or dog you see listed as MCAS are being fostered for our local shelter & a separate adoption application needs to be filled out for them. Please contact us though before doing so we can help you make the process an easy one.
