Meet Lucy.  She is a tiny 4.5 year old breeder release.  She doesn’t trust anyone but once she snuggles in everything changes.  Lucy has soulful eyes.  She has come a long way already.  I am working hard to help her trust me.  She loves the other pups.  Needless to say she isn’t ready for adoption yet.  She needs her dental and spay done and time to decompress.  Hopefully she will be ready to meet people soon.  Baby steps. Lucy is just beginning her journey to learn to live as a house pet, she is working on house training, about walking on a harness and leash, she does require a physically fenced yard to keep her safe. My adoption fee help with my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, spay, dental and microchipping.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 19, 2026, 11:40 am

Fill out the form by clicking on the picture of the computer screen with our logo on it.Peanut Update April 15 2026:On a more serious note, Peanut is nervous aggressive so he does need someone with a strong pack leader vibe!He needs to be taught what is appropriate. He is young and has made progress. Once he settles in he is amazing but will always need a strong pack leader. The 3 3 3 Rule definitely applies to this handsome little man. Meet Peanut, your future partner pup in crime — a goofy, zoomie-powered dachshund with big opinions and even bigger energy. Whether he’s tearing through the yard like a tiny rocket or plotting his next wrestling match, this boy is here for a good time.Peanut is crushing the basics:✔️ Kennel training in progress✔️ Fully potty trained✔️ Walks on a leash… at what he calls maximum dachshund velocity (we’re workshopping “leisurely stroll”)His dream life? A home with a younger dog buddy ready to tag-team zoomies, backyard shenanigans, and daily nonsense. Peanut Fun Facts:• Olympic-level door dasher → fenced yard required• Slightly impulsive (he acts first, thinks… never) → best in homes without kids• 100% certified silly goose• Expert cuddler after chaos hourIf your life is missing a chaotic little sidekick and built-in entertainment system, Peanut is ready to clock in as your full-time partner pup in crime  Peanut's Winter Report 3/16/2026 Breaking news from foster boy Peanut, age 1.5: snow = fun… wind = rude.This silly, goofy little dachshund has decided snow is perfectly acceptable for zoomies and sniffing adventures. The wind, however, was clearly unnecessary and he would like to file a complaint with management.Peanut is doing great with kennel training, is fully potty trained, and walks on a leash… although he believes walks should be conducted at maximum dachshund speed, so a little work on the pulling is still in progress.His absolute favorite hobby is playing with other dogs, and he’d really love a younger canine buddy in his future home to wrestle and zoom with.A few Peanut fun facts:• Professional door dasher, so a fenced yard is a must• A bit impulsive, so probably not the best match for homes with kids• 100% silly boy energy• Certified good-time companionIf you’re looking for a goofy little sidekick who keeps life entertaining, Peanut is ready to bring the laughs (and the zoomies) to his forever home. Dakota Dachshund Rescue Peanut update March 10 2026....  Peanut – Professional Sidekick Seeking Full-Time Human Oh Peanut… you sweet little stage-five clinger. And honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way. Peanut is a 1.5-year-old lovebug currently accepting applications for his forever human. His biggest life goal is simple: be wherever you are. Bathroom? Kitchen? Couch? Peanut says, “Great! I’ll come too.” Personal space is more of a suggestion in Peanut’s world. This boy has a big heart and a playful spirit. He’d love a home with someone who enjoys tossing toys, sharing couch time, and helping him build a little confidence. Peanut is still learning that the world isn’t quite as suspicious as it sometimes sounds… because yes, he does believe every noise deserves a formal bark announcement. Neighborhood watch? Covered.  Peanut’s current resume includes:Potty trainedNo food insecurity (he’s a gentleman at mealtime)Crate training in progressLoyal companion level: expertProfessional noise inspector What Peanut really needs another pup who wants a best buddy and a human patient who will keep helping him grow while enjoying all the goofy affection he has to give. If you’ve been looking for a dog who will adore you like you hung the moon… Peanut might just be your guy.  Apply to meet this little shadow today!Dakota Dachshund Rescue Howdy! I'm Peanut. I came to DDR because I have some issues with resource guarding. There are children in the house and children come over to play so my mom was afraid I might bite someone. I'm a great guy, I just need a strong pack leader and some guidance. I shouldn't be in a home with children because sometimes they don't understand my warning growl to leave my stuff alone. I love playing with other dogs, I do need a fenced yard so I can run chase and play. My foster mom is just getting to know me so she will do an update when she knows me better. Can you be my furever home? I am 1 1/2 yrs old, I weigh 16 pounds, my adoption fee is $600 plus sales tax $27=$627  My adoption fee help with my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, neuter, dental  and microchipping.         Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 19, 2026, 11:40 am

I'm a very sweet but pretty shy guy.  I am a recent breeder release guy just starting my journey to become a house pet. I am working on house training, what a harness is and all those things that a house pet does. I love hanging out in my foster mom's fenced yard with the other small dogs. I don't understand the dangers of cars and trucks, what roads are and loud noises like horns and sirens scare me. I do require a fenced yard. Do you have patience and love to help me learn to be your best friend?
