Meet Twix

Hi!  I'm Twix!  People say I'm probably a chihuahua/heeler mix, but I don't know what that means.  I'm having a good time at my foster home with my brother and sisters. I was taken to a shelter when I was 6 weeks old and they got me to K Kids.  Since then I've been playing with lots of dogs and people.   I like to cuddle, play, and take long naps.  Foster mom says I'm a typical puppy but that I'm extra sweet.  They think I'll be about 20-25 pounds when I grow up.  I'll probably need a decent amount of exercise and training, and I will likely bark a decent amount given my heritage.  I'm being fostered in Charlottesville, VA, and my adoption fee is $400.  My foster mom said to tell you that covers my vetting including my noo-ter, whatever that means.  

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.
