How to adopt a Blue Star Dachsund

Our adoption process is designed with the well-being of our puppies in mind. We ask all prospective families to complete an application form so we can ensure each puppy is placed in a loving, responsible, and well-prepared home. Every applicant is thoughtfully reviewed, and we only approve homes that meet our care standards and are a good fit for the breed. This helps us match each puppy with a family that will truly support their needs and provide a lifelong home full of love, stability, and companionship.

Adoption Specifics

Down Payments

To reserve a puppy, we require a non-refundable deposit, which secures your place on our waitlist or holds a specific puppy once selections begin. This deposit goes toward the total purchase price and reflects your commitment to providing a loving home. The remaining balance is due before your puppy goes home, either at the time of pickup or prior to transportation arrangements being made. We accept cash, PayPal, Venmo and Zelle and will provide payment instructions once your application is approved. We’re always happy to answer questions and make the process as smooth and transparent as possible.

Waitlist

Joining our waitlist is the best way to ensure a spot for a future puppy from our program. Once your application is approved and your deposit is received, you’ll be added to our waitlist in the order deposits are placed. When a litter is born, folks on the list are contacted in sequence to make their selections based on availability, preferences, and readiness. Being on the waitlist means you’ll receive updates, photos, and announcements about upcoming litters—and have priority in choosing your new puppy when the time comes. We appreciate your patience and trust as we match each puppy with the perfect home.

Payment Plans

We understand that bringing home a new puppy is a big commitment, and we’re happy to offer flexible payment plans to approved applicants. These plans allow you to make manageable payments toward your puppy’s balance over time, with the full amount due before go-home day. If you're interested in setting up a payment plan, just let us know during the application process—we’re here to help make the journey as smooth and stress-free as possible.
