  • Dachshund Rescue/Adoption

    If you are interested in adding a Dachshund to your family, but you are not sure about whether you are up for the challenge of a puppy, consider adopting a Dachshund through a rescue organization. The mission of these groups is to take in abused, neglected and abandoned dogs of the selected breed, and adopt them out to good families who will give them a second chance. Most of these organizations will take on the medical care and costs of nursing a dog back to health if it is ill. These groups will also make sure that the dog is up to date on inoculations and will probably have the dog spayed or neutered if it is not already. Some of these dogs might stay in kennels at the rescue site until adopted, but many other will be placed in foster homes until a permanent family can be found.

    Adopting a Dachshund

    Before you make the decision to adopt a Dachshund, there are a few things to consider about taking in an adult dog. First, this dog has a past that a puppy will not have had to grapple with. Your prospective dog might have been abused, or simply may have never been trained properly. In some cases the doxie might be well-behaved and well-adjusted, but in other cases the dog might need extra training and care from you before it is integrated into your family unit. An adopted Dachshund may adjust to his new family within a short period of time, but some dogs will take much longer to come out of their shells.

    Finding a Dachshund Rescue

    There are many sources available for locating the closest Dachshund rescue organization to you. There are plenty of websites available that advertise for these groups, and many will even offer pictures and information about the dogs currently available for adoption. You can also check with a local breed club or a veterinarian for a recommendation for the nearest Dachshund rescue. Once you have located an organization to work with, dont expect them to anxiously hand you a dog and thank you profusely for your support. Dachshund rescue groups are highly committed not only to finding homes for their dogs, but finding good, safe homes where a dog can be healthy and happy. Be prepared to jump through a few hoops, and prove your worth as a dog owner if you want to bring one of these cute pups home with you.

    The Cost of Adopting a Dachshund

    While adopting an adult Dachshund from a rescue organization will not be as expensive as purchasing a puppy from a breeder, it is far from a free endeavor. The cost of adopting a dog will vary based on the special needs of the dog, the area of the country that you are adopting in and various other factors. Rescue organizations do not charge fees to make a huge profit on their dogs. The truth is that many of these pups can rack up high vet bills as well as cost for basic care, and the rescue group will usually absorb these expenses so that they can offer healthy dogs for adoption.
