heartworm treatment can also be found on
the wiki. It is important to note the
specified information if the dog tested
positive while in DRSF’s care. Information
on last date of treatment can be found on
the vetting records on the Wiki.
Other Health Conditions
Similar to the behaviors section, the health
issues section is where we disclose any
medical issues the dog experienced or was
treated for while in our care. This
information can often be taken from the
medical records on the wiki, obtained by the
foster family, or the DRSF Medical
Committee.
Behavior Information
The behavior section is where any particular
behaviors (aggression, training issues, etc)
are noted for the dog and this information
can often be determined by the notes on the
Wiki, but verified by the foster family. It is
especially important to be up front and note
any negative or aggressive behaviors as DRSF
needs to fully disclose any issues with the
dog.

Adoption Completion – What It’s All About!
The process of completing the adoption is the
columniation of all our hard work and is the best part!!!
The process is simple:
•Contract – need two copies to end up with two fully executed originals.
One copy for the adoptive family, one copy for DRSF
•Medical Records – If you are completing the adoption, print or email copies
of the medical records for the dog from the Wiki so the new family has their
new dogs medical history.
•Read the contract prior to execution so that you are familiar with each
clause, what it does, and to make sure you get all the adopter initials at
each place they are required
•Be sure to get a “happy tales” photo of the new family for distribution on
the DRSF site and DRSF Facebook page. This photo is time sensitive, and
should be sent to info@dachshundrescuesouthflorida.com or via phone to
585.314.5051 the same day the contract is completed
•The DRSF copy of the contract along with payment should be mailed to our
mailing address (contact us tab on the website) or delivered to a board
member
•If possible, please scan a copy of the completed contract and send to
info@dachshundrescuesouthflorida.com as well
