Adoption Application

NEW: CDR is currently only servicing Ontario
CDR does not have the membership or leadership presence to handle adoptions outside of Ontario. Over the past 7 years we have had wonderful volunteers helping in other provinces, but we found that one or two volunteers in each province is not enough to handle the workload. Over 95% of our membership and dogs in need are in the Ontario so we have reduced our focus to this region. Outside of Ontario, we continue to work with local rescues to help dachshunds in need. If you are a rescue and need to find a home for a dachshund, we can post the dog for you. If you are an owner needing to rehome your dachshund, you can contact us and we will do our best to direct you to a local rescue.

If you would like to lead and manage a dachshund rescue in your province, you can contact us for information and support.

Please fill out IN FULL our adoption application. If the form is not complete, it will not be processed.

A representative will be in touch with you soon. Remember, we're all volunteers fitting rescue into already busy lives. If you do not hear from someone within 2-3 weeks, please email info@wienerdogrescue.com to find out the status of your application.

NOTE: Our form is not working. Please cut and paste the questionnaire into an email message and send the information to apps@wienerdogrescue.com.
