Here's what the humans have to say about me:
No phone calls or emails please to adopt when we answer 500+ emails a day now thanks to the dog rescue. Thanks for NOT filling up our inbox when most of your questions can be answered online by reading FIRST at the link below and click the dogs's photos for their bios and details you need to start our adoption process.
For our most currently listing of adoptable dogs: http:// www.drnw.petfinder.com
Our main web site:
http://www.spokanewienerdogs.org
All of these dogs have been placed already. These dogs are representative of the wieners that we have at our rescue, Dachshund Rescue NW. We have been rescuing since 1991 and placed 157 in 2016 and 145 placed in 2017 alone. We have now placed over 1,700 homeless dogs since we started our dog rescue in 1991. Many folks come back to adopt from us again and again. Our dogs are always guaranteed so we make sure they are in the right homes.
Check out our Facebook page as well as our Better Business Bureau rating of A+ since we started this rescue.
Sorry, we do not ship our dogs out of the area. Folks need to come to us to adopt. We do not have time to sit in parking lots like puppy mill breeders. Plus we want to make sure the dogs all get along so we encourage folks to bring their dogs for a meet and greet here.
We also do test drives and take back if not working and trade for another one if needed. All dogs we placed are guaranteed which is why we have so many Five Star ratings on our Facebook page when we match the dogs to the right homes if folks fill in our paperwork to adopt first THEN we contact them or just keep referring them back to read the dog's bios again. ;-)
We do adopt to secure fenced yards in town. We do not adopt to invisible fencing, apartments, condos or town homes usually as this is a hunting dog breed and they need exercise. We do adopt to farms without fencing when this breed has room to run.
This breed does have large voices so too noisy for most apartment or condos situations when they are good watch dogs. Most of the dogs in this breed are active and are rarely couch pillows so they need to run a lot when bred to be hunting dogs.
Dachshunds are not recommended for children under age 8 and many we get could not handle young children. They are not a good babysitting sort of breed and the number one reason we rescue them is they have already chomped kids. So we do adopt to older children depending on the dogs and their preferences.
Please do your breed research before adopting any dog or mix. Thanks. That means read about them and their quirks. Dachshunds have more quirks that any breed on this planet like not peeing in the rain unless their people stand there and make them go.
