We were Dachshund breeders for 25 years until we started our rescue in 1991. All our dogs are personality guaranteed, we do test drives and take them back if not working out. They are all fixed, up to date on shots and worming, pretrained and we do warn folks about any personality glitches we find so they know what they are adopting from us.
We have adopted or help to adopt over 1,800+ dogs since 1991. We place on average 150+ dogs each year and placed 157 dogs in 2016 alone, a new record for us. But we turn away around 500+ each year so we do what we can to help the pet overpopulation by spaying and neutering all our adoptable pets before placement.
Please read our web site for our adoption contract, waiting list form and adoption policies before getting in touch. We are already answering 500+ emails a day with this rescue. Thank you.
Our dog rescue is located at the director's farm northwest of Spokane. There is no bus service here. Directions are given once an appointment is made in advance and once our pre-adoption paperwork is filled in so we can match dogs to their new families.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.

Click on the dog's photos below to read their bios on how we adopt them. Adopters do need to start our adoption process with our waiting list form rather than with just a phone call or email. We already answer 500+ emails and social media messages a day so thanks in advance.
Our adoption fees vary depending on how much is spent on the dog to get them ready for adoption but start at $150 and up.
Please read all the details about our adoption process on our main web site at http://www.spokanewienerdogs.org on our To Adopt/Fee page before getting in touch with us. Many questions are already answered on our website. Thank you.
We have volunteer and adoption visiting here at 10 am daily with an appointment in advance. We do not maintain a retail location for our dog rescue so visitors are welcome, 3000+ visitors a year now, by making an appointment in advance. Closed Mondays.
