BIO: 

April was rescued with Cinder, Dixie, Shy, Tater and JellyBean from a puppy mill near  Waco Texas. 

April was extremely pregnant. So they went on a long journey and we got April to safety on a Saturday and by Monday afternoon, not even 48 hours of being safe and sound in a rescue place she had 3 beautiful puppies, Vienna, Minnie and Hoagie. 

She is a great mother- of course that is what she has done all of her short life is have puppies.  She will never have to be dollar sign in someone’s eyes again for the puppies she can make now that these babies are born. She will be able to be a pet, loved and cherished for her company and her kisses and cuddles.  She will be able to burrow under the covers of someone’s big bed to her hearts content for the rest of her life-

Is that lucky someone you? That will love her forever?

April, JellyBean, Dixie, Shy, Tater and Cinder were all confiscated from a cruelty hoarder case due to inadequate housing. They had lived in deplorable conditions, they were in wire cage runs just on the ground in the dirt. There was no shelter, they didn't get any relief from the rain or the sun they lived in the mud and in their own feces and urine all over the place. There were a total of 78 dogs confiscated from the hoarder breeder.

Imagine living in the dirt, getting food when it was convenient for the breeder, sleeping in the mud, flies in your eyes all the time, covered with ticks and fleas, no shelter from the blazing hot sun, no walls or a roof to keep out the cold and the rain. Imagine not knowing that being afraid of being hit and hungry, cold and tired is NOT a way of life. This was the only life they ever knew................... 

But they are safe and warm now and can learn to be pets instead of breeding machines. There have been so many firsts for them since they were rescued..  the first time in the grass  the first time they got to snuggle in a dog bed, play with a toy, get up on the big bed, be pet and loved on.

Please help us to help them and so many poor sweet dachshunds that are waiting to die in the shelters and be rescued from Puppy mills. Sweet brown eyed creatures that have never had a kind word a soft human touch a warm bed or a nice word said to them

AADR does not recommend dachshunds for families with children under 5, or families planning to have children during the dog's lifetime. Dachshunds are often not patient with little kids, and kids can accidentally hurt a dachshund's back or get bitten.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast and mid-west. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. For now, please look for dogs on your coast.
