Coast To Coast Dachshund Rescue - Mid Atlantic

About

CCDR : dedicated to the proposition that all dachshunds are created equal, and are endowed with unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of small rodents. Started in August of 2000, Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue Inc. was started by a small group of dedicated dachsund lovers who grew the organization to be nationwide. Today, CCDR is comprised of a group of people who still have that passion and work endlessly to help rehome dachshunds and dachshund mixes to loving homes. The work is endless and our members work hard to fundraise and educate the public in the importance of rescue and altering their pets. CCDR vetting costs are extremely high and the adoption fees don't come close to covering them, but we survive and thrive due to those who generously donate to us and as a result of our members who work so hard all year long to fundraise and attend events. Thank you to all who support CCDR!

Adoption process

Step one: You must be 21 or older to adopt. Review the dogs on the Available Dogs page and see if there is a dog that would fit your family well. Contact the representative who has the dog to see if the dog is available and if they can tell you about the dog's personality. Fill out an adoption application. Step two: Your application will be forwarded to the representative who has the dog you are interested in and they will email you an acknowledgement. Your application will be processed so make sure you contact your references and landlord (if renting) to give them permission to speak to us. The representatative will call and have a phone interview with you to find out more details and to make sure the dog you are interested would be a good fit for you. If the reference checks and phone interview go well, you will be required to have a home visit done. We process each application but please keep in mind that most dogs have multiple applications submitted so someone else may have put an application in before you, been approved and the dog you are interested in may be spoken for. Step three: If you are approved for the dog you want, your representataive will discuss with you the procedure to get the dog. Most dogs are are placed locally and the arrangements are made between the member and the adopter to pick up their dog. Should a dog be in a different state, it is prefereable if the dog is picked up personally by the new owner. If this is not possible and the member feels your out-of-state home is an excellent choice for the dog and a safe transport can be arranged, it is up to the applicant to cover all expenses it may take to get the dog to them. Professional transports have a set fee if one is available but you can discuss with the member if a volunteer transport can be arranged if it is impossible for you to get the dog. Keep in mind, volunteer transports are difficult to arrange and often do not go to states too far from where the dog is located. In the case of a long distance transport, please make sure when speaking to your representative that you have asked all of the questions necessary to make sure this dog will be a good fit. The contract and fees (adoption fee and a health certificate fee) must be completed and fees received prior to the dog being put on a transport. We will not transport any dog until all paperwork is received back from the adopter along with the adoption fee and the cost of the health certificate. Adopters pay for health certificates. If the dog doesn't work out it is up to the adopter to get the dog back to the representative/member at the adopters cost so please make sure you ask the member/representative everything you feel is important so you are sure this dog will be a good fit. Step four: At the time you receive your dog you will be asked to sign our contract and give a check or money order to the representative. We do not accept cash. The representative is to give you a copy of the contract, all vetting information and any other information or items that goes with the dog. If we have to get a health certificate for your dog, the cost of the health certificate will be paid by the adopter and added to the adoption fee.
