By checking the box, I acknowledge that I am willing to pay an adoption fee for each dog adopted from Dachshunds and Friends Rescue. The average adoption fee is $375 but can vary higher or lower. Please note that there is no profit made on the adoption of this dog. All fees are used toward the medical care, food, etc ., required for our dogs. I agree to allow a home check prior to adoption.(required)
