About

Meet Akka

Akka came to us with his littermate Athena.  They like being together, but we believe they would be fine apart, too.   Akka is shy around new people and will make a lot of noise when a visitor comes around, but when we took him to an adoption event, he enjoyed saying hi to all the people who came to say hi to him.  Akka does like to climb and perch on things, such as chairs, tables, and counters.  Akka and Athena might be part cat!!!  Speaking of cats, we aren't sure how he would do with them, but he seems to do fine with children, although it might take him a bit to get used to very tiny people.  Akka is crated trained and pee-pad trained and housebroken when kept on a schedule (so he's a dachshund).   Akka doesn't mind other dogs, but would probably prefer a home with just one or two other little dogs if he's not with Athena. The adoption fee will be $350 for Akka.  He is up to date on all of his vetting.  

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.
