Thank you for taking the time to complete an ACDR Adoption Application! Please understand that we receive a large number of applications and, as a volunteer-run rescue, our ability to process applications is limited. Applications are reviewed carefully based on the needs of the dachshund, but not every application will be fully processed or contacted for every dog.Your application will remain on file for one year. If you are not selected for a particular dachshund, your application does not need to be completed again during that time. If another dachshund comes into our care that you are interested in, please let us know and we can review your existing application.We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to find the best possible homes for our dachshunds. 🐾❤️
