My story

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

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

This is SnowBelle (Belle).
Is she tiny? Sure. Ten pounds.
Is she a cutey? Absolutely.
Is she a menace? Heck yeah!!
Belle is a year and a half old and is a crazy girl--she's all puppy!
You might be asking what this little cutey could possibly do to be labeled a menace. Or you might be thinking, "Well yeah, she IS a dachshund".
Belle bullies big dogs. Belle would do best with another small dog, because she likes to play and snuggle, but she is very nervous and barky with big dogs.
Belle is okay with cats---curious. I think she might chase until she was smacked and then would be respectful.
Belle barks. You know----like a dachshund. New people are scary; they must be barked at. Same with kids; totally scary at first, but then once they don't eat her, she's a love.
Belle hangs out on furniture (she might actually BE part cat).
How's her housebreaking? Not fantastic, but there is hope for her. She needs to be supervised and gotten on a routine.
Belle is a cuddler---I mean, even for a dachshund she takes it to another level! She MUST be adopted by someone who is willing to let her sleep ON them.
We have more pictures, but you get the idea. If you're looking for your very own live cuddling chaos, this is it.
 
Belle is being fostered in Charlottesville, VA. Her adoption fee is $400, and all of her vetting will be covered by K Kids.

We prefer that folks come to the foster to pick up their new K Kid but we can work with each adopter on an individual basis

Additional adoption info

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.
