Happy Tails Dachshund Rescue

HTDR is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that gives second chances to dachshunds and dachshund mixes.

To be a Happy Tails dachshund means entering a safe foster home, receiving full vet care and being carefully placed in the best next home for that dog’s needs. Happy Tails Dachshund Rescue is a non-profit organization consisting of dedicated rescue volunteers who love the Dachshund dog breed. Our mission is to save as many Doxies from euthanasia, abuse, or abandonment and to adopt them into as many loving, forever homes as we can!

🐾💗 KASH IS STILL SEARCHING FOR HIS EXTRAORDINARY FOREVER HOME! 💗🐾
Meet Kash, a handsome 5.5-year-old dachshund weighing 17 lbs, with a big personality and an even bigger desire to find his special person! 🐶❤️
Kash loves playing fetch, going on walks, giving kisses to his favorite humans, and snuggling under the blankets after a long day. 🥹💕
But Kash isn’t your typical dachshund looking for just any home. He’s looking for someone truly special who understands that love, patience, structure, and consistency go hand in hand.
Kash has made wonderful progress during his time in rescue, but he does have a documented bite history and behavioral challenges that will require lifelong management. He needs an experienced adopter who understands canine behavior, respects his boundaries, and can provide the stability he deserves.
🏡 Kash’s Ideal Forever Home:
🐾 An adult-only household with no children.
🐾 Must be the ONLY pet. No other dogs or cats.
🐾 An experienced, patient adopter.
🐾 A structured home with consistent routines and boundaries.
🐾 Someone who works from home, is retired, or spends plenty of time at home.
Kash is potty trained with a consistent schedule, knows basic commands, and has so much love to give once he feels safe and secure.
❤️ Kash isn’t asking for a perfect home. He’s asking for the RIGHT home.
Somewhere he can continue growing, feel understood, and finally experience the stability of a forever family.
📍 Age: 5.5 years
🐶 Weight: 17 lbs
💰 Adoption Fee: $400
Could you be the extraordinary person Kash has been waiting for? Visit our website for his full adoption details!
Even if Kash isn’t the right fit for your family, sharing his story could help him find the person he’s been waiting for! 🐾💕
