Adoption Fee:  $275.00 + $35.00 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 $125 fee to help cover a portion of these expenses. 

 
Hello, my name is Skittles. I am looking for my forever home & hope that you are the perfect one for me! My foster dad describes me as a sweet, cuddly, lovable & happy boy who loves to play fetch & go for walks.
 
Sometimes I can tend to get a little nervous around strangers.  I have been known to nip but it’s just because I get so scared. I really don't mean to do it.  Little Paws Dachshund Rescue has me working with an awesome trainer who says I’m smart and a good boy. I wish I could just find a home with someone who will continue to work on my nervous behavior and love me forever.
 
 My ideal family would be a home with no small children or other animals (as I have a strong prey drive) & someone who will let me cuddle in the big bed! My foster dad would love to tell you more about me and you can see that I’m really just a good boy who just needs to learn to trust humans.
 
 Thank you for taking the time to read all about me!

RI RESIDENTS – At this time we are not registered with this state and are unable to adopt to residents.  The process to register is lengthy and will take some time.  We are currently working on this process


TRANSPORTATION HELP!

If you see a furbaby that would be a match for your family, please 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.
