More About Fritz
Fritz, our little "gentleman" dachshund; got a fabulous home with an individual who had another dog and was looking for a "just right" addition to her home. She immediately recognized the wonderful qualities this little dog had; including his sweet nature and quick ability to learn. Fritz went to his new "forever" home on January 27, 2006 and we are grateful to his new owner for providing a fabulous home for him. Pet Finder has done it again; helping us locate the type of adopters we want for the rescue dachshunds in our program.
Fritz is a sweet and affectionate black and tan smooth male dachshund who is 3 years old. He was surrendered by an owner who was in ill health and could not give him (and the other dachshunds in the home) the attention he required and wisely realized that this was not a good situation for this lovely dog. With the help of a friend, she turned to DFW Dachshund Rescue for assistance.
Fritz loves to cuddle in someone's lap, and has an endearing habit of gently leaning his face against yours. He has gained confidence and is realizing that people are fun to be around. He has a favorite stuffed bunny rabbit toy and he bounds around his foster home, carrying that toy in his mouth! He gets along very well with the other dogs in his foster home. He is making good progress in learning a housetraining routine, and this will improve even more after his neuter surgery in January.
Fritz has had his immunizations, and will be neutered sometime during the second week of January, so that an infection he came with can be fully treated. After that is done, he will be ready to go to his new, permanent home around the beginning of February.
Can you give Fritz a loving permanent home with lots of attention and love? If so, read the rest of the information below and then contact us for an adoption application.
Before you contact us for an application, you must go to our group's website at: www.dfwdachshund.com and read *all* the FAQ's there. You will find information to most questions that you may have. In particular, please pay close attention to the information about the rescue dachshunds and housetraining. Dachshunds take extra time and patience to housetrain and it is important to know this before you apply to adopt.
Be aware that we do not have a public kennel facility for our dogs; our rescue dogs are fostered with individual families throughout the DFW Metroplex area. We do not permit visits to any of the rescue dogs until an interested household has filled out an application, and had a reference, vet and home check. Only screened and approved applicants may visit dogs available for adoption through our program. We will not hold dogs for homes that have not yet been approved by our rescue committee.
We rarely, if ever, have puppies available in our rescue program. If you are interested in a puppy, please contact us for the puppy referral packet to reputable breeders in our area.
In order to be considered for adoption through DFW Dachshund Rescue Foundation, you must:
Be over 21 years of age and have verifiable identification to that effect.
Be able to verify that you may have a pet where you live.
Be willing to fill out an adoption application, the entire contents of which will be verified upon receipt.
Be prepared to make a donation to our rescue efforts of $250.
You must live within the Dallas/Fort Worth area or no farther than a 50 mile drive from Dallas/Fort Worth to apply to adopt from us. We appreciate your understanding and hope that, if you live outside our service area, you will consider adopting a pet in your local area from a rescue group that services your part of the United States.
Understand that DFW Dachshund Rescue Foundation has the right to deny *any* application for any reason. Reasons for the denial of any adoption application will *not* be discussed with the applicant.
Our adoption application has been designed to evaluate potential adopters to ensure that each person who adopts a dachshund is not only aware of the responsibility that comes with adopting a dog, but also to address the suitability and permanence of each dachshund placed in a new home.
When considering a new home, our goal is to make the best possible match for each of our rescued Dachshunds. These special dogs deserve the stability of a permanent home where they will be loved, secure and safe for their rest of their lives.
