Adoption Process

Finding the perfect Dachshund puppy is an exciting journey, and we’re here to make it simple, transparent, and enjoyable.

At Dachshund Lovers Pups, we believe every puppy deserves a loving, responsible home. Our adoption process is designed to ensure each puppy is matched with a family that can provide lifelong love, care, and commitment. From your first inquiry to the day you bring your puppy home, we’ll guide you every step of the way.

Step 1: Browse Our Available Puppies

Begin by exploring our Available Puppies page, where you’ll find detailed profiles of each puppy.

Each profile includes:

  • Name

If you have questions about a specific puppy, we’re always happy to provide additional information, photos, or videos.

Our goal is to help you make an informed decision with confidence.

Step 3: Complete an Adoption Application

To ensure every puppy is placed in a safe and loving environment, we ask prospective owners to complete a short adoption application.

The application helps us learn about:

  • Your family

  • Your home environment

  • Previous pet experience

  • Lifestyle

  • Expectations for your new puppy

This process is not about judging applicants—it’s about making the best possible match for both the puppy and its future family.

Step 4: Puppy Reservation

After your application has been reviewed and approved, you may reserve your chosen puppy.

Once your reservation is confirmed, we’ll keep you updated with:

  • New photos

  • Growth updates

  • Development milestones

  • Health progress

  • Estimated go-home date

This allows you to follow your puppy’s journey until it’s time to welcome them home.

Step 5: Veterinary Care and Health Check

Before joining their new family, every puppy receives:

  • A complete veterinary health examination

  • Age-appropriate vaccinations

  • Routine deworming

  • General wellness assessment

You’ll also receive copies of your puppy’s health records to share with your veterinarian.

Step 6: Preparing for Your Puppy’s Arrival

While your puppy is getting ready to come home, we encourage you to prepare your home with the essentials.

Recommended supplies include:

  • Puppy food

  • Food and water bowls

  • Comfortable bed

  • Crate or playpen

  • Collar and leash

  • Puppy toys

  • Grooming supplies

  • Training treats

Preparing in advance helps your puppy settle in more comfortably.

Step 7: Pickup or Delivery

When your puppy is ready, we’ll arrange a convenient pickup or discuss available transportation options.

On adoption day, you’ll receive:

  • Health records

  • Vaccination record

  • Deworming schedule

  • Feeding guide

  • Puppy care guide

  • Health Guarantee

  • Adoption paperwork

We’ll also answer any final questions to help make the transition as smooth as possible.

Step 8: Bringing Your Puppy Home

The first few days are important as your puppy adjusts to a new environment.

We recommend:

  • Keeping a consistent daily routine

  • Allowing plenty of time for rest

  • Introducing family members gradually

  • Scheduling a veterinary visit within 72 hours

  • Providing lots of patience, love, and positive reinforcement

A calm, welcoming environment will help your puppy feel secure and confident.

Our commitment doesn’t end when your puppy goes home.

We’re always available to provide guidance on:

  • Feeding and nutrition

  • Potty training

  • Crate training

  • Grooming

  • Socialization

  • General puppy care

We genuinely enjoy staying connected with the families who adopt our puppies and are happy to answer questions throughout your dog’s life.
