My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Everyone meet Lucy! She's a shy but playful girl  who is guessed to be around 5yrs old. She has limited sight in her left eye but that does not slow her down one bit! She loves to play with other dogs, not tested with cats. Young kids make her nervous but fine with older kids who will let her warm up on her terms. She absolutely loves her crate and is housetrained. 
She also loves her home once she gets comfortable but she can be a bit of an escape artist getting out the door but she doesnt go far. Would be best in a home with a fenced yard or an outside area she could go into without anything she could climb  on to jump over.  She loves chew sticks and treats and anything rubber related to toys. Beware as she will steal shoes and anything rubber if she thinks it belongs to her! If you think Lucy would be a great match for you please reach out!!!

It is flexible and responsive with a minimum of red tape and no pre-conceived notions.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We encourage approved adopters to come meet their new forever dachshunds at the home of the foster parent. We also attend selected events such as the Washington Metro DachtoberFest held the first Saturday in October in Frederick MD. Although we do not attend scheduled adoption events we do plan to schedule special K Kids events throughout VA with a focus on Richmond and Charlottesville at least initially.

More about this rescue

We save dachshund lives by matching them from shelters and surrendering owners, regardless of age or health or even selected needed behavior modification, with pre-screened adopters who will give them loving and safe forever homes and take care of them for the rest of their lives. We are adopter friendly and work without judgment. Our goal is to prevent dachshunds from ever entering the shelter or rescue system to begin with by focusing on owner education which covers dachshund health and behavior issues, financial counseling for vet expenses, and estate planning for what happens if your dachshund outlives you. We do this because of our passionate and fierce devotion to the breed.
