We strive to provide you with all the information you need right here. Please understand that due to the high volume of inquiries, we may not be able to respond to questions covered in this FAQ section.1. Are your dogs potty trained?Unless the dog's bio specifically states that they are potty trained, you can assume they are not. Many of our rescue dogs come from challenging circumstances and may not have been exposed to housetraining. Housetraining is typically the responsibility of the adopter.2. Do you transport to other locations?Currently, we transport to Wilmington, Ohio, Greenwood, Indiana, Washington, PA, and Lake City, FL.3. Is this cat/dog still available?If the cat or dog is listed on Adopt-A-Pet and does not have an "adoption pending" tag on the website, we are still accepting applications. However, please be aware that we often receive multiple applications for each animal.4. How long does it take to hear back about my application?It can take up to 10 days to receive a response from us. If you do not hear back within this timeframe, please understand that we may have chosen not to move forward with your application.

Bonded pair ! Will not separate. Amazing little dogs , 3 -4 years old. Very nice overall and sweet with other dogs. They are good with kids for little dogs. Not super fond of our five year old who doesn’t give them lots of personal space but quite reasonable overall. We have a big dog and we’re worried he may hurt their backs. We also have a baby on the way and want to downsize our dog pack. They are a bonded pair and must go together. They were in a house fire and quite clingy. They are house trained but winter time makes it hard on them as with most small dogs they aren’t fond of going out in the snow etc. but they will do it with encouragement. We crate trained them and they prefer sleeping like that now.

FEMALE ADOPTER ONLY*** Buddy is a lover.....if you are a female he will give you his heart.....Want a fellow that's housetrained? He's got it covered. This fellow can snuggle up to you and make you really smile.... He's not pushy about it....He just has a great way with the ladies... He's also voice trained....so when you talk to him, its as though he really understands. Buddy will develop a bond like no other. He's okay being alone for several hours and never tears up anything or soils his surroundings. He is not a barker either....though he does whine some when youre on the other side of the door. He does great with female dogs as companions too ( small like him) but he'd rather not have to negotiate a toy with a male dog....Buddy is gentle and sweet until another dog growls at him, then he will defend himself. He may not be good with other farm animals is his one drawback...he watches them closely through the fence...but right now the roo has a fence between them...so youd never know how it would go....... He's a type of dog that really becomes your soulmate...Want to meet this special fellow? Complete and enter an application,...we will contact you and schedule a meet n greet. https://www.kentuckydachshundrescue.com/adoption-process

Slinky is obsessed with squeaky toys. He loves to go for walks and sunbathe.

BELLA is a cute lil dachshund ( long hair) with those short stubby legs but a chihuahua face...She's an adorable lil girl but has the " little dog attitude". If you are the one who feeds then you're her favorite person...Bella must be fed alone ( separate room) because she would sneak another pets food and complain lowdly that its hers....She is bonded to Kylo but we have let her spend her day with another male dog and she seems happy...as long as shes the only female...She has no known health issues...just attitude...Shes friendly, takes her time to assess newcomers....Independent but adventurous...She likes to go outside when its warm...and does not mind snow either....housetrained.
