I came to Dakota Dachshund Rescue as a breeder release and I am thoroughly enjoying this new life of mine as a family pet! I am still very scared of new people and new situations - oh and loud noises or quick movements. This world is all new to me!  But if you are patient and kind to me, I will warm up and be your best friend! I promise.  My current foster mom is my best friend. I follow her wherever she goes - upstairs, downstairs, bedroom, bathroom, couch, you name it. If she is there, so am I!  Though I prefer she stay in one place so I can rest on my dog bed and keep an eye on her. My dog bed is my safe spot. Except when she leaves. I really, really don't enjoy being left home without her. Although I get along great with my fellow dog-mates, my foster mom is my favorite. But I do love running around my backyard with them!  That's about the only way I get my exercise because I WILL NOT walk on a leash.  My foster mom has tried and tried, but as soon as she picks up the leash, I refuse to move. So a fenced in backyard is a must for me so I can get my exercise! And the fence needs to be high.  I can be a bit of an escape artist. I already escaped from a temporary foster home once. It was terrifying, and I went missing for 10 whole days. I'm so thankful they found me, and don't want to go through that again!  So a nice, solid fence is important.  Do you think you have a spot for me? Hi, I'm Mason. I am a sweet boy just starting my journey to become a house pet. I am learning to wear a harness and introduced to a leash, not my favorite yet but I am coming along slowly. I do require a fenced yard. am learning about housetraining, bellybands are new to me but it reminds me I have to wait to go potty outside. My foster mom takes me out on a schedule to teach me.Can you help me continue on my journey and become a special part of your family?I am 3 1/2 yrs old, I weigh 17 pounds, my adoption fee is $400 plus sales tax $18=$418   My adoption fee helps cover all of my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, neuter, dental  and microchipping.

Adoption Process
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.
