Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Meet Tipsy! Tipsy is a loving fun little girl. She loves to cuddle, she loves kisses. She loves playing with her foster siblings and even the 3 cats. Tipsy is a bit timid at first and takes a bit to warm up, but once she knows you she is happy to greet you and play. She can be territorial when other dogs or cats are around. She will need to be in a home without small children. Tipsy will do anything for treats or food. She trots like a horse. When she does bark which isn't much it is more of a yodel. Sometimes she barks normally which I think is her doxie side coming out. She is crate trained, and sleeps at night in the crate, she is not enthused about it, but does go in. She will whine a little and then settles down. This sweet girl follows her foster mom everywhere. She has learned to use steps and we are working on the doggie door. She seems a little afraid of it. She is good about going out, but you have to send her out every few hours as she doesn't tell you when she needs to go. She is pretty good at trying to hit the pee pads as well. If someone is eating she wants in on the action. Tipsy is ready for her forever home.*Note Tipsy is part of our Foster to Adopt program.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Mr. Nano is in the house! This older gentlemen is a spry older gentleman and is your typical Doxy mix. He is just the sweetest, wanting as much attention as you can give him, and is very protective of his foster's house. He currently lives with four other dogs in his current foster home and can sometimes be a little fussy with a couple of them, but for the most part gets along great, especially if they are submissive. He would be just as content being your one and only. He has some trust issues, but once you gain his trust he will be your best friend! He is crate trained, leash trained and housebroken. He will use pee pads if he can’t get outside in time or if it’s cold or rainy. Nano loves the sun! A fenced yard is recommended, but not required. He has not been kid tested.

Story
Meet Buggie! This adorable little dude came to us as a stray, and we are still getting to know him. Buggie seems to have not been very well cared for before coming to us, with very overgrown nails and patchy hair. Thankfully this guy is on the mend and doesn't hold a grudge against people! Buggie is a laid back, go with the flow guy from what we have seen. He is not all that interested in toys or treats, but he is happy to be where you are and relax. If you have other dogs at home we recommend bringing them in for a meet and greet before taking Buggie home. If you are interested in meeting Buggie, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.

Adopting a Dachshund

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Dachshund - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

The cost to adopt a Dachshund is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Dachshunds from breeders can cost around $1,000 to $2,000 or more, depending on show history, coat colors, texture, and lineage.

Dachshund fun facts

Fun Facts:

A Dachshund was the first ever Olympic mascot! The concept for Waldi the Olympic dog was born at the 1972 Munich Games Organizing Committee Christmas Party in 1969 (say that 10 times fast!).

Dog historians argue about whether the Daschund was first seen in an Ancient Egypt sculpture of a pharaoh with three dogs or in the Middle Ages in Germany, but suffice to say these lil' weiner dogs have been around for at least several hundred years.

Dachshunds literally mean "Badger dog" in German, as the breed was developed in 17th century Germany to use scent to train and hunt animals such as badgers and foxes. Dachshunds are true dwarfs.
