About

Meet Athena

Athena and her littermate Akka came to us together, and would probably like to stay together, but we don't think that is necessary.  Athena is a little shy around new people and will make a lot of noise when a visitor comes around, but when we took her to an adoption event, she enjoyed saying hi to all the people who came to say hi to her. Athena does like to climb and perch on things, such as chairs, tables, and counters. Athena might be part cat!!!  Speaking of cats, we aren't sure how they do with them, but they seem to do fine with children, although it might take them a bit to get used to very tiny people.  Athena is crated trained and pee-pad trained and housebroken when kept on a schedule (so she's a dachshund).   Athena doesn't mind other dogs.   Athena's adoption fee will be $300 and she will be fully vetted before she is adopted.  

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.
