Miniature dachshunds from 2025 case to be placed for adoption

FOX23 News at 9 p.m.

PADUCAH, Ky., (KBSI) — Miniature dachshunds involved in a 2025 court case will soon be available for adoption after the case was settled, according to the McCracken County Humane Society.

The shelter said it now has possession of the dogs and is having them spayed or neutered ahead of Weinerpalooza, an adoption event scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 19.

The gates will open at 8:30 a.m., and adoptions will begin at 9 a.m. Numbers will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis to people who have completed an adoption application.

Prospective adopters may complete an application at the Humane Society before the event to become prequalified. However, submitting an application early does not reserve a place in line or guarantee an adoption.

People who have not applied in advance may complete an application at the event and will receive a number after it is processed. Numbers will be called in groups of five to 10, allowing applicants to enter and select a dog.

Adoptions will be limited to two dachshunds per household.

Applicants must provide a photo ID and veterinarian information. Renters must also provide a copy of their lease showing that pets are allowed.

The event will include food trucks and children’s activities. An ending time has not been announced.
