About adopting a Dachshund
Long, low, and convinced of its own importance, the Dachshund was bred to dig into badger dens, and that history explains the courage, the stubbornness, and the digging. Young Dachshunds in rescue are often bright, funny dogs who need a bit more patience than their size suggests.
House training is the classic Dachshund challenge; a consistent schedule and rewards help, and many adopters find an adult already reliable. They are clever but independent, so training works best as a game with food. Their long backs are vulnerable, which means discouraging jumping from furniture and using ramps or stairs. Exercise needs are moderate, but daily walks keep weight in check.
Dachshunds often bond tightly with their people and can be vocal watchdogs. Many are fine with older children and other dogs, though rough handling is a risk with small kids. Back problems are worth asking the shelter and your veterinarian about. Ask the shelter or rescue about the individual dog's history and how training has gone so far.

Adopting a Dachshund — FAQ
Are Dachshunds good with children?
Dachshunds are often good with older, gentle children but can be hurt by rough handling because of their long backs. They may snap if picked up awkwardly or startled. Families with respectful kids and clear rules about handling tend to do well with them.
Do Dachshunds bark a lot?
Dachshunds are vocal dogs with a surprisingly deep bark for their size, and many alert at anything passing the window. Training can reduce it but rarely eliminates it. If noise is a concern, ask the shelter how vocal the individual dog has been during its stay.
Are Dachshunds hard to house train?
Dachshunds have a reputation for slow house training, partly because they dislike wet weather and partly because they are independent. A firm schedule, frequent trips out, and consistent rewards work. Adult Dachshunds from rescue are often already trained, which makes them an easier choice.
How do I adopt a Dachshund?
Open any dog's profile to see the shelter or rescue caring for them, then use the adoption link or contact details to apply directly with that organization. Every Dog's Chance simply gathers listings in one place so they're easier to find.
Are Dachshund dogs a good fit for first-time adopters?
Many Dachshund dogs — especially adult dogs who are already house-trained — can be a great match for first-time owners. Each dog's profile and the shelter or rescue caring for them can tell you about that dog's individual energy level, training, and personality before you apply.
How much does it cost to adopt a Dachshund?
Adoption fees vary by shelter and rescue, but typically include spay/neuter, vaccinations, and a health check. Open any dog's profile and contact the organization directly for their current fee and what it covers.
Are Dachshund dogs good with children or other pets?
It depends on the individual dog more than the breed alone. The shelter or rescue caring for each dog can tell you about their history with kids, cats, and other dogs. Many organizations offer meet-and-greets to make sure the match is right for everyone before you commit.
Can I foster a Dachshund instead of adopting?
Many shelters and rescues offer a foster program, sometimes with a foster-to-adopt path. Fostering a Dachshund gets them out of a kennel and into a calm home, which is a great way to see if the match feels right before committing. Ask the organization on any dog's profile whether fostering is an option.
What should I expect in the first weeks after adopting a Dachshund?
Most dogs have a brief adjustment period — a few days to a couple of weeks — as they settle into a new home. A consistent routine, a comfortable place to rest, and patience make the transition easier for both of you. The shelter or rescue can tell you what to expect from the specific dog you're adopting.
