Dakota Dachshund Rescue is a private all volunteer non-profit 501(c)3 organization. We are a very small group of foster homes and volunteers who really love the little wiener dogs. We work together to rescue abandoned, abused, and unwanted dachshunds, including those that need rehoming because their owners just can't keep them anymore. Dachsies are intelligent, lively, comical, confident and courageous dogs. They are hunters. They can be difficult to housebreak, and they have a tendency to be barkers. Dachsies are also faithful, versatile, stubborn, adorable, and we think irresistible! We provide medical and behavioral care for each dachsie coming into our rescue. We do our very best to help them put their best paw forward as they prepare for the forever homes in their future. We also have a wonderful network of volunteers who help with the logistics of getting our adoptable dachsies to the loving homes they so deserve - wherever that may be. Dakota Dachshund Rescue takes every opportunity to educate those we come in contact with on the responsibilities of pet ownership, the prevention of cruelty to animals, and the need for pet owners to spay and neuter their pets. One day at a time. One dog at a time. Friends Forever!
1. You must be at least 18 years of age or older to adopt a dachshund from Dakota Dachshund Rescue. 2. It is our policy that all our dachshunds be spayed or neutered prior to their adoption. Sometimes, however, due to extenuating circumstances (such as the age of the dachshund, or with specific medical conditions), we must wait before they are eligible for these procedures. In these instances, we will only adopt these dachshunds into homes where all other dogs have been spayed or neutered. Additionally, you must agree to contact Dakota Dachshund Rescue once your adopted dachshund is eligible to spayed or neutered, so that we may schedule the appointment with one of our veterinarians. 3. Dachshund puppies are quite adorable; however, we will not place one of our rescue puppies into a home where there are children under the age of ten until the puppies are at least four months old. Health and humane authorities agree that young children usually cannot be expected to handle a puppy or kitten properly and that the mishandling of such a small animal is likely to result in injury to the animal, to the child, or both. 4. Our dachshunds will not be placed into homes where they are intended to serve merely as a guard dog or for hunting. Nor will any dachshunds be released for adoption that are intended as a gift for another person. The recipient may not want the dachshund or the selected dachshund may not be suitable or compatible with the recipient’s living arrangement or lifestyle. 5. Please note that we do require written and/or verbal permission from your landlord or agent prior to any of our dachshunds being adopted to someone living in rental housing. 6. While we are not professional dog handlers, veterinarians, or dog trainers, we do care for a lot of dachshunds, and we will do our best to help in any situation. Similarly, if you find yourself no longer able to care for or keep your dachshund at any time during their life, you must agree to notify Dakota Dachshund Rescue so that we may welcome your dachshund back into our rescue organization. By completing and submitting the Adoption Application and Agreement below, I hereby acknowledge that I have read through and agree to Dakota Dachshund Rescue’s Adoption Policies, including the obligation to return an adopted dachshund to their organization should I ever find myself unable to care for or to keep the adopted dachshund in my home.
