SPCA of Brevard Adoption Center officials said they rescued 13 dachshunds after their owner died in late September. Since then, officials said they’ve been able to reunite more than half of them with their legal owners and co-owners.

Officials said there are six dogs left that will be made available for adoption this weekend.

The shelter said it will begin accepting adoption applications for the dogs at 8 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 15. Applications submitted before then will not be considered.

“We will process them in the order that we receive them, but as we do with all of our animals, we will match these pups with the first RIGHT home, not just the first inquiry,” shelter officials said.
