Story
Nina and her sister Pinta were rescued from the dog pound. We believe these adorable girls are chihuahua/dachshund/pug mixes (the curly tails coming from the pug). Both girls have very soft fur. Nina has a bit of blue in one eye so there is something else in the mix. They are young, probably between one and two years of age. At 19 pounds, Nina is the larger of the two girls. Nina is very affectionate, sweet, and playful. She is a little shy but warms up quickly. She is a lapdog who loves pets and cuddles. She likes treats and will toss them around and play with them before she eats them. And we just found out that she loves snow! Nina would probably do best in a home with another small, playful dog to wrestle and play chase with. Nina is crate-trained but needs some more work with house and obedience training. Her new family should give her plenty of attention and playtime, take her on walks, and give her a lot of cuddles and affection. Nina must be an inside dog and a loved member of the family. She must be walked on a leash and needs a secure, fenced yard to run and play. Nina is spayed, tattooed, fully vaccinated (DAPPvL2, Bordatella, rabies), and microchipped. She is heartworm-negative and receives monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Nina is located in Texas but can be transported after she is adopted. Her adoption fee includes the cost of ground transport by a reputable and trusted transport company to several scheduled stops in Ohio - including but not limited to - Columbus, Cincinnati, and Akron, OH.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Meet Tipsy! Tipsy is a loving fun little girl. She loves to cuddle, she loves kisses. She loves playing with her foster siblings and even the 3 cats. Tipsy is a bit timid at first and takes a bit to warm up, but once she knows you she is happy to greet you and play. She can be territorial when other dogs or cats are around. She will need to be in a home without small children. Tipsy will do anything for treats or food. She trots like a horse. When she does bark which isn't much it is more of a yodel. Sometimes she barks normally which I think is her doxie side coming out. She is crate trained, and sleeps at night in the crate, she is not enthused about it, but does go in. She will whine a little and then settles down. This sweet girl follows her foster mom everywhere. She has learned to use steps and we are working on the doggie door. She seems a little afraid of it. She is good about going out, but you have to send her out every few hours as she doesn't tell you when she needs to go. She is pretty good at trying to hit the pee pads as well. If someone is eating she wants in on the action. Tipsy is ready for her forever home.*Note Tipsy is part of our Foster to Adopt program. Apply now if you are interested in testing how she woul d acclimate in your home* Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 15, 2025, 3:50 pm

Adopting a Miniature Dachshund

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Miniature Dachshund - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Miniature Dachshund at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Miniature Dachshund from a shelter is typically $50 to $300, while smaller rescues may charge higher fees. The adoption fee may include an initial exam, preventatives, vaccines, microchipping, and spay/neuter. 

Buying a Miniature Dachshund from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding and coat color, a Miniature Dachshund can cost $1,200 to $2,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Miniature Dachshund is through a rescue that specializes in Miniature Dachshunds. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Miniature Dachshunds in your search radius.
