About

Meet Ulrich

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. 

Adoption Process
We have a rigorous process whereby the applicant applies online and is carefully screened to ensure that all currently owned pets have been spayed/neutered and are up to date on vaccinations and on monthly heart worm meds. The applicant provides vet and personal refs and must demonstrate that he/she is capable and willing to commit to the dachshund for the rest of his/her life providing love, neutron, exercise, and appropriate veterinary care, and that a plan is established for what happens if the adopter can no longer care for the dachshund or if the dachshund outlives him/her. A home visit is required prior to being approved to adopt and if all goes well and the match is right, K Kids and the adopter execute an adoption agreement after the fee has been collected. Fees are $350 for puppies, $275 for adult dogs ages 1-7, and $150 for senior dogs ages 8 and older. Then the adopter can take possession of the dachshund. If he/she does not get the dachshund wanted, K Kids keeps the application on file for when a suitable match can be made.
