Adopting from PLDS

Adoptable pups are shown below.

Thank you for your interest in adoption! We have some beautiful babies that would flourish in a home of their own. Don't let the silver on their faces keep you from seeing the light in their eyes. Seniors make a wonderful addition to many homes, and they have so much love to give. Please keep in mind that senior Dachshunds are not always a good fit with families who have very young children. Our babies have not been kid tested nor have they been exposed to cats.

All of our adoptable babies have been altered, updated on all age appropriate vaccinations, tested for heart worms and intestinal worms, and any required dental work has been done. All of our seniors have a complete blood work up to ensure there are no underlying medical conditions. Some of our adoptable seniors require medications each day and that is indicated in their bios.

Because we rescue mostly senior and special needs dogs we don't do nearly as many adoptions as a regular rescue group. We do however make every effort to place as many of our babies as possible up for adoption. Quite a few of our available dogs are bonded with another dog. We have one set of three dogs that have spent their entire lives together, and they must be adopted together. While we understand that adopting multiple dogs at once is difficult, we are committed to keeping these bonded babies together.

We are open to adoption from any state. Our transport team can get these babies to most areas in Texas. Adoptive families outside of the state must, however, provide that additional part of any transports. We are open to adoptive families flying in to Midland to pick up their new family members. We will not, however, place a dog on a plane to fly alone.

Our adoption fees are $250 for any young dogs that require spay/neuter as well as all other vet care.
Our seniors have an adoption fee of $200. Any bonded pairs or groups would be $250.

We also offer a senior-for-senior discount. Any senior that adopts a senior dog will receive a discount on the adoption fee of $100.

Emily

Emily came to us from a rural shelter in Louisiana after being abused by her former owner. She received some damage to her nerves and her back legs are a little wobbly but her spirit is indomitable. She occasionally loses control of her functions and will pee or poop a little. This is worse in the stress of a new home so the adopter must be prepared to give her some time to adjust. She is not aware when the accidents are happening so understanding and patience are very important. She uses the doggy door at her foster home and sleeps in a crate on the big bed at night. Her fur is super soft and Emily is a world-class snuggler. We think she is about 8 years old. Emily weighs about 12 lbs and is active. When the pack goes on squirrel patrol she can run as fast as any of them. Her ideal home would be with one other pup and an owner who is home during the day. She can be crated as needed and sometimes goes into her crate just to relax. We are committed to finding her a home where she will be cherished. Emily is being fostered in Baton Rouge and meet-and-greets in the immediate area are encouraged.
