The HTDR Process

Intake

Intake

Intake

Our dogs come from a variety of backgrounds.  Some are from neglectful situations while others are from loving owners that can no longer care for them.

Foster

Intake

Intake

Our carefully selected foster homes cater to the needs of each dog, provide stability, safe housing and love for the dog to decompress and be coached where necessary.

Vet

Intake

Rehome

All veterinary needs are addressed on an individual basis.  All dogs are dewormed, Heartworm tested, Microchipped, Vaccinated (Bordetella, Dhppv, Rabies), Spayed / Neutered and assured to have proper dental cleaning.

Rehome

Intake

Rehome

Only when the dog has fully recovered from vetting, behaviors and needs have been assessed properly and training addressed, is a dog listed for adoption.  

Meet Our Dogs

FRANK

Male, 2.5 years old, 13 lbs

Adoption fee: $550


Frank is a sweet, soulful pup who’s looking for a calm, loving forever home. He was recently surrendered by his previous owner and is now ready to start a new chapter with someone who truly understands his gentle spirit.

Frank gets along well with other dogs and cats. His behavior around children is unknown, but he may do well with older, respectful kids. He’s house trained, kennel trained, and walks nicely on a leash. While he’s timid at first, once he feels safe, he becomes incredibly affectionate and loves to snuggle. He likes to sleep in bed with his people and thrives on love and praise.

Frank enjoys going for walks and sunbathing. He’s a “dog’s dog” and needs another confident, playful dog in the home to help him build confidence. He’s not interested in toys and isn’t food motivated like most dachshunds.

His ideal home would be calm and quiet, with someone who is home more often than not. Patience is key, as Frank needs time to warm up and feel secure. A home with another friendly dog will help him continue to grow and thrive.


APPLICATIONS CLOSED - DOTTIE

Female, 3.5 years old, 16 lbs

Adoption fee: $600


Dottie is a sweet, shy girl looking for a loving forever home. She was surrendered by her previous owner and is now ready to find her new forever home.

She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and children, though her reaction to cats is still unknown. Dottie is house trained on a schedule and uses a doggy door—although she’s still figuring out how to go out as well as in! She’s learning to walk on a leash and making progress every day.

At first, Dottie is very timid and may take a few days to warm up. But once she feels safe, she becomes your loyal shadow and a total love bug. Her mellow personality is balanced with playful bursts of energy—she loves getting the zoomies and barking along with her doggy friends. She rides well in the car, adores her toys, and is as sweet as she is cute. While she’s not yet comfortable being picked up, she’s slowly getting better with gentle encouragement.

Dottie would thrive in a quiet, patient home with a backyard to explore, another friendly dog to help her feel confident, and someone who’s home often to provide the companionship she craves. She just needs a little time and space to blossom into the loving companion she’s meant to be.


JAX

Male, 8 years old, 22 lbs

Adoption fee: $325


Jax came to Happy Tails as an owner surrender.

He is good with dogs with proper introductions and good with kids He is not good with cats.

Jax is a bit timid at first but once he’s comfortable he is very sweet and snuggly 

and really likes to be on the couch with you. 

He is loyal and protective and loves to please his people. He listens very well!

He is house trained and does ok in the kennel but it's not his favorite place. 

He prefers to sleep in bed with his humans.

Jax likes to play with other dogs and with toys. He's leashed trained and likes to go for walks but can be reactive to other dogs while on leash so will need someone will to work with him on that. 

He gets a little nervous in the car.

The best home for Jax is with someone home more often than not. He would be ok as an only dog or with another dog. He will bark when left alone, so no homes with shared walls or apartments.

Thank you for choosing Happy Tails Dachshund Rescue!

When you adopt from HTDR, you can expect that all dogs have been seen by a veterinarian for a wellness check-up and have received a minimum of the following care prior to adoption:


- Rabies, Dhppv and Bordetella vaccinations

- Spayed or Neutered

- Microchipped

- Dewormed

- Dental Cleaning and extractions (where necessary)

- Heartworm Negative


Approximately one week after adoption, you will receive a follow-up call from us to ensure the adoptive parent and furry child are doing well together.


Adoption applications will be kept for 3 months and then deleted. If you still want to adopt after that time, please re-submit your application. This way, we are sure to have the most up-to-date information about you. Also, if you have adopted and are no longer looking to adopt, we won't keep your information.
