Nova's Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.We are an all-volunteer/foster home-based rescue.<br/>Apply to adopt by filling out the online adoption application on our main website dakotadachshundrescue.org<br/>Click on Adoption Info under the Navigation bar on the left side of the page. Fill out the form by clicking on the picture of the computer screen with our logo on it.<br/>Hi! I'm Nova. I am a sweet girl, but I am cautious about being picked up. I am a little skittish around new people. I need grooming on a schedule and feel so much better after grooming. I’m a frisky little girl and I love to play with other small dogs and run in a fenced yard. After I get to know you, I love to snuggle on your lap or beside you on the couch. I am just beginning this amazing journey to learn to live life as a house pet....can you be my person and continue my journey with me?<br/>I am responding well to schedule trips outside to potty, but I can have occasional accidents in the house if I don’t get my outside time. I’m comfortable in a harness but I can be a little goofy on a leash. I love toys! I shake them, toss them in the air and chase after them. I’m still learning so much about people as I learn to be a house pet. I need a fenced yard. Sometimes I get frightened and run. With a new family I may not come back unless I’ve chosen my new favorite person. Believe me. I can run!<br/>I am 1 year old, I weigh 8 pounds, my adoption fee is $500 plus sales tax $22.50=$522.50<br/>My adoption fee helps cover all of my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, spay, dental if needed and microchipping. 12/7/25 2:14 PM
