take a few steps and he can go to the bathroom himself with only occasional assistance. He asks to go outside and if he can't get there, he goes on a pee pad. He's good with kids, adults and other dogs. He LOVES toys and snuggling near people (head on feet if at all possible). He's a super sweet boy who needs very little extra care. Hansel: I’m a master blanket burrower! Although my back legs don't work, I can climb into bed and wiggle myself under the covers so that I am fully covered with just the tip of my snout sticking out. My sniffer monitors my surroundings; I can detect a duck outside and give him the barking business without ever leaving the comfort of my bed. You need not feel sorry for this IVDD survivor; I can outrun my housemates when the food bowl comes out! Speaking of suppertime, it’s a good idea to feed me separately. I’m such a foodie, I tend to get testy when I sense competition. You should know that I am rather vocal; I’ll bark when someone is at the door, when meeting new dogs and people (although I like everyone I meet) and, of course, when I see/smell those ducks! If you are interested in adopting me, please complete the DRSF Online Adoption form. My adoption fee covers all my (prior) vet care (adopter receives vet records). For more information refer to the DRSF Adoption Fee page. If you have any questions about adoption or want more info, you can email: info@dachshundrescuesouthflorida.com

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
