$$900.00 for bothWhat is better than one dachshund? TWO dachshunds! My Friend Gunther and I are looking for our forever home. While there are two of us I promise it is not double the work just double the love and fun! I am a 1.5 year old Dachshund mix weighing about 7 pounds (I am a little timid during meal times so sometimes my friend Gunther steals my food.) I really enjoy being outside and sniffing all the smells! Coming from New Mexico this grass stuff is new to me so I am getting used to going to the bathroom on it but my current fosters are really patient and helping me work through this. The family I am currently with has 2 young kids and 2 small dogs. I get a little scared with the kids' loud noises sometimes but when that happens I just go in my kennel where I know I am safe. I am a little mischievous sometimes and really like shoes (my fosters have started putting them in the closet, how rude!). Things I enjoy doing are: playing with my friend Gunther, sniffing in the backyard, laying in the sun and relaxing on the couch. Gunther and I are really nice and easy going and would make a great addition to any family! Completion of an Adoption Application via our website (www.RescueCrew.org) is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in the adoption process. All companion animals adopted by The Rescue Crew are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLK (cats) or heartworm (dogs), microchipped, dewormed and provided with monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. The Rescue Crew is a foster based rescue organization, meaning all of our adoptable pets are located in homes throughout Minnesota. We do not have a physical location where you can stop by to visit the animals - we require the completion of an Adoption Application prior to meeting any of our adoptable pets in foster care. For the most complete information regarding this animal, and all of our adoptable pets, please ensure you are visiting our website directly at www.RescueCrew.org. You can also access the necessary online adoption application here as well.
Adoption Process
Adoption applications must be completed, which include information regarding references and vet clinic information, DL #, names, etc. Reference checks are conducted and when necessary vetting information verified. Discussion about the animal interested in to best assure appropriate and proper placement is made, and educational information regarding how to manage a multi-dog/animal household, slow and proper introductions and the importance of a shut-down period to help the animal acclimate to new surroundings. A "meet and greet" with the animal is required and whenever possible all residents of the household should be present. Home checks may, but not always, be necessary. After adoption applications is approved a contract is required, where we also stipulate that if for any reason the adopter determines they no longer want or can care for the animal we require it be returned to us, with the exception of documented bite history or potentially dangerous or dangerous dog designations. Adoption fees vary, but are comparable to or less than other local rescues and typically are $300 or less for a canine and $150 for a feline.
