In the shelter’s words
We are an all-volunteer/foster home-based rescue. We DO NOT have a physical shelter. Apply to adopt by filling out the online adoption application on our main website dakotadachshundrescue.org Click on Adoption Info under the Navigation bar on the left side of the page. Fill out the form by clicking on the picture of the computer screen with our logo on it. ✨ Meet Eileen ✨ At 7 years old, Eileen is learning that the world might not be such a scary place after all. This sweet little dachshund came to DDR very frightened, but day by day she’s taking tiny brave steps toward trusting her foster mom and discovering the good life. Eileen is still very shy, but she’s getting more comfortable being picked up, hanging close to her people, and watching the other dogs show her how fun life can be. She absolutely dreams of being part of the pack… she just needs a patient family willing to let her bloom at her own speed. A confident, social dog in the home will be a huge help for Eileen as she learns the ropes. She kennels well, is making progress on potty training, and quietly cheers on the other pups like a tiny dachshund fan club president. Eileen will require: A fenced yard Another friendly social dog Patience, kindness, and time Some dogs burst into your life like fireworks. Eileen is more like a porch light slowly glowing brighter each night. And when she trusts you? That kind of love is pure gold. ✨ This sweet lady is Eileen. She came to DDR very scared. She is still very shy but is getting more used to being picked up and getting closer to her foster mom. Another social dog in the home will be huge for Eileen to get comfortable. She kennels well and is getting better on potty training. She very much wants to be like the other pups. It will just take some time. Fenced yard required Eileen is about 7 years old and weighs about 12 pounds. Her adoption fee is $350 plus tax of $15.75 for a total of $365.75. My adoption fee help with my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, spay, dental and microchipping.

Usually we are contacted by a SD shelter about a dachshund that is not doing well (nipping etc.) and that they are going to be put down. We take them in get them vetted and then place them up for adoption after they have been evaluated. We also take calls from folks who have called their local shelter about there dachshund that may have started nipping at small children etc and are told the dog would be put down. We also take calls from other rescues about breeder dogs.
