THE K KIDS ADOPTION PROCESS

Thank you for your interest in adopting a K Kids dachshund. Here’s how it works:

1. Look over our available dogs to see if there is one who stands out from all the rest. If you’re willing to consider a second or third choice, take note of those as well.

2. Fill out the adoption application at www.kkkidsrescue.org or click here.

3. K Kids will process your application and check your references. Your K Kids point of contact may call you to discuss your application.

4. Your K Kids contact will call you to schedule a home visit.  Note: All residents of your home, including children and all current pets, must be present for the home visit.

5. Your K Kids contact or another K Kids volunteer will conduct your home visit.

6. Your K Kids contact will call you to let you know whether you have been matched with a dachshund.

7: Your K Kids contact will then collect the adoption fee and prepare the adoption agreement.

8: Congratulations!  Your K Kids contact will call you to schedule a time when you can pick up your new dachshund from their foster home.

K KIDS ADOPTION FEES

What does my dachshund’s adoption fee cover?

1. Initial general check-up
2. Spay or neuter
3. Rabies vaccination (1 or 3 years)
4. Distemper combo vaccination (for parvovirus, parainfluenza, distemper, hepatitis, etc. Leptospirosis may be included at the veterinarian’s discretion.)
5. De-worming and/or fecal
6. Screening and treatment for heart worm disease and the three tick-borne diseases (lyme, ehrlichia and anaplasma)
7. Monthly heart worm preventative while in foster care; we require the adopter to continue this.
8. Flea treatment
9. Dental treatment if needed
10. Other surgeries if needed
11. Microchip

The bottom line:

Adoption fees do not cover the cost of your dachshund’s medical care and microchip. All K Kid rescues, fosters and adoptions are subsidized by the generous donations of our supporters.
