Adoption Fees
$300Hi! I'm Buck! I was pretty scared when I came to my foster home. I'm a lot more comfortable now. I like to walk on a leash! I've been working really hard on my housebreaking. I sleep through the night in my crate. I sit for treats!! I warm up quickly to strangers, and I love to play!!! I also have a bit of a knack for escaping from the chain link fenced yard, but I don't run away---it's just for fun!! Maybe I could do agility or something else fun like that with all my smarts and energy? I'm being fostered in Waynesboro, VA, and my adoption fee is $300
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.
