Hi! My name is Duchess! I am a 6 yr old black and tan smooth doxie who came into rescue because my owner’s living situation changed and she could no longer care for me. Someone must have been watching over me because I was just hours away from being taken to a shelter. I am now in a foster home with dogs and a cat. My foster dad has me on something called a diet because he said dachshunds should have waistlines. I am proud to report that I am on my way. I have already dropped from 18 to 16 lbs. I am also enrolled in “house training 101” and learning to do my business outdoors. I am being well cared for, but I would love to have my very own forever family to call my own.
Adoption Fee: $250.00 + $45.00 for a health certificate if going over state lines (required by law). Dogs adopted in New England are subject to additional rules and regulations by the state departments of agriculture. Complying with these regulations is expensive for our rescue, and all dogs adopted in New England states are subject to an additional $135 fee to help cover a portion of these expenses.
Transportation Help
If you see a furbaby that is a match for your family, don’t let distance stand in the way of your adoption. LPDR can work with you to have a volunteer transport to assist with transportation or refer you to a paid transport.
