My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Ulrich came to us recently after he lost his home to a fire. He’s a minpin. He’s maybe 15 pounds and 1-2 years old. Ulrich is really sweet. He wants nothing more that to be cuddled 100% of the time. That being said, he is very protective and it doesn’t look like he’s going to be a dog who is going to be great with houseguests, whether they are humans or dogs. He is very protective of his people. He also protected his foster mom when she took him to visit people, so he probably won’t travel well. But, he was great with a pet sitter, and he has done great at Casa Urban for a visit, so it looks like he just is a bit of a homebody. So. Ulrich would prefer a quieter home with fewer dogs (he says he wouldn’t mind being an only dog) where he could be crated when there are houseguests. Also, he chases cats. Oh, and Ulrich seems to have a preference for men although he does like women.

Go meet their pets

We encourage approved adopters to come meet their new forever dachshunds at the home of the foster parent. We also attend selected events such as the Washington Metro DachtoberFest held the first Saturday in October in Frederick MD. Although we do not attend scheduled adoption events we do plan to schedule special K Kids events throughout VA with a focus on Richmond and Charlottesville at least initially.

More about this rescue

We save dachshund lives by matching them from shelters and surrendering owners, regardless of age or health or even selected needed behavior modification, with pre-screened adopters who will give them loving and safe forever homes and take care of them for the rest of their lives. We are adopter friendly and work without judgment. Our goal is to prevent dachshunds from ever entering the shelter or rescue system to begin with by focusing on owner education which covers dachshund health and behavior issues, financial counseling for vet expenses, and estate planning for what happens if your dachshund outlives you. We do this because of our passionate and fierce devotion to the breed.
