Adoption Donations
Adoption donations are done on a sliding scale based on the dogs age. We take a higher adoption donation on our younger, easier to place dogs, to help further offset the costs for our older and injured dogs, who truly, truly need our help. Adoption fees in no way completely offset the costs of vetting and we subsidize the rest through fundraising efforts and donations. Every dog is adopted with a harness.
- Up to 1 year old: $360
- 1 to 3 years old: $285
- 4 to 7 years old: $235
- 8 years old and up: $160
- Mixes Up to 1 year old; $285
- Mixes 1-7; $185
- Mixes 7+; $85
The shelter that I have been looking at adopts dogs for $75. Why are your adoption fees so high for younger dogs?
Rescues take dogs regardless of age, temperament, and medical condition which lead to higher average medical costs than shelters who can choose to put down a dog for those very reasons.
- Our average vetting per dog is $436 (we take in many sick and injured dogs) and our average adoption fee is $209.
- Dogs with temperament issues can run into the hundreds for trainers who otherwise would have no chance of being adopted due to being labled "aggressive" during shelter intake. (Wouldn't you be a bit aggressive if you were scared?)
- Dogs in our foster care receive flea/tick and heartworm medication (There are almost no discounts for these medications for rescue and cost us the same as they cost you if you already have a dog per month x however many dogs we have in our care)
- One back surgery or treating strays who have been hit by cars can easily run into the $4,000+ range
Rescuing has many unique advantages.
One of the greatest is how each dog's foster family can tell you all about the unique personality of each Doxie
(does he/she get along with other animals, children, is he/she active or more calm, etc.).
This is a benefit a store or breeder can't provide!

Thank you for considering rescue!
It's hard to believe so many Dachshunds are abandoned or lost.
But as you can see there is no shortage of sizes, colors or ages for you to choose from.
Each one of the sweet faces below is in need of 3 things....
A FOREVER HOME
Keys to making a good match!
