You can adopt a Miniature Dachshund at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Miniature Dachshund from a shelter is typically $50 to $300, while smaller rescues may charge higher fees. The adoption fee may include an initial exam, preventatives, vaccines, microchipping, and spay/neuter. 

Buying a Miniature Dachshund from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding and coat color, a Miniature Dachshund can cost $1,200 to $2,500.

The easiest way to adopt a Miniature Dachshund is through a rescue that specializes in Miniature Dachshunds. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which will show you all the available Miniature Dachshunds in your search radius.
