Golden Gate Dachshund Rescue
"Making a Difference, one wiener dog at a time"
Adopting a Dachshund
    All potential adopters are required to fill out an Adoption
    Application.  Our Adoption Application will help us get to
    know you and your situation and lifestyle.  This will help us
    determine if one of our dogs is right for you.  If you are
    interested in filling out an application please email us at
    braveheartdogs@sbcglobal.net to request an application.

    If you see a dog on the website or on petfinder that you are
    interested in, simply contact the foster home and let them
    know that you are interested.  You will be required to fill out
    an adoption application and if the foster determines that
    you may be a good match for the dog, you will be invited to
    come and meet the dog.

    Applying for a dog does not guarantee you will be chosen
    to adopt a dog.  It is simply the first step in the process.

    Please only apply and set up an appointment if you are
    serious about adopting a dog and intend to follow through.  

    We will not hold or save dogs for anyone.  If an applicant
    cannot arrange to meet a dog in a timely manner another
    applicant will be invited to interview for the dog.

    Anyone wanting to adopt a dog must apply themselves.  
    We do not place dogs as gifts and we do not place dogs
    with someone other than the potential new owner.

    All adopters are required to sign our Adoption Agreement.  
    Our Adoption Agreement is a legal contract that protects
    the adopter, the rescue program and the Dachshunds.

    All adopters will be required to pay an adoption fee.  

    Please understand that our program is run by volunteers.  
    We will do our best to get back to you as quickly as
    possible.

    These are the basic adoption fees however they may
    sometimes change depending on specifics that we have
    done for each dog.
