Overview

Dachshund mix puppy Sam is looking for a new lap to lay in.

Sam is a sweet little guy who loves to be on your lap so much that’s the only thing he doesn’t want to share . He’s almost a year old, and weighs 11 lbs. He was left at a boat ramp when Little Paws took him in, so he’s had a pretty sad start. We are sure this young pup’s next move will be a happy one.

Environment

Sam is an easygoing little guy looking for a family to call his own. He’s very much still a puppy and has that puppy energy so he will need walks, play, and stimulation. He doesn’t need a backyard, but if he had one he would make the most of it. In the meantime, he’s doing a great job learning to potty on pee pads or walks. He also loves his crate, and doesn’t have accidents in it. He’s a pretty chill dude once he’s settled in, and fine to be left alone when needed.

Pets & People

Sam is great with new people, he likes to snuggle and play, and occasionally hide your shoes. His only kryptonite is small children so he will need a home with older kids or none. With other dogs he’s sweet, and even politely suppresses his foodie nature so as not to steal their food.

Location

Sam is available for adoption from Atlanta, GA and he is great in the car. Please email bcozz2152@gmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Sam is $450.00.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

6 Step Adoption Process

1) Application - (While we encourage you to let us know on your application if one of our dogs has captured your interest, we use this simply as a guide for matching and your listing of specific dog in no way implies claim to this particular dog)

NOTE: Adoption Applications expire 6 months from the date of receipt. If you have already submitted an Adoption Application and it has been longer than 6 months, you will need to fill out a new Adoption Application.

2) Reference Checks - All references will be checked prior to home visit. We will contact your current vet, if you have one, for a reference.

3) Application Review - Processor reviews the application, calls the vet if you have one, verifies vaccinations and spay/neuter. We email personal references (if email is provided) or call them if necessary. Email is best since as references can respond when they are available.

4) Home Visit - A volunteer will come to your home to visit with you and discuss care of dachshunds. Also, the volunteer will look for any potential problems and check to be sure that your fencing is secure. Your home visit does not mean you have been approved.

5) Approval - After the above steps have been completed all your information will be reviewed and a decision will be made about adoption. If at this point you are approved to adopt, LPDR will help guide you to the appropriate dog for your family.

6) Contract - For the protection of the dogs we place, everyone that adopts a dachshund from LPDR will be required to sign an adoption contract.

Go meet their pets

Are you looking for an opportunity to foster a dachshund? Fostering is our transitional step from a shelter/surrender to a forever home. During this time it’s important that we give each dachshund a safe environment where it can learn to trust again, to heal and to learn how to become a loving family member. Many of the dachshunds that we pull from shelters or receive from an owner surrender just need a temporary home until their new forever home can be found. Please go to our website (www.LittlePawsDR.org) to learn more.

More about this rescue

Little Paws Dachshund Rescue is a foster-based, non-profit animal rescue that specializes in finding permanent homes for dachshunds, dachshund mixes, and other small dogs. It is LPDR’s goal to identify abandoned, mistreated, or homeless dogs and oversee their treatment and well being while working to find loving owners for those in our care. We strive to make the lives of all dogs better through action, advocacy, awareness and education.
