BIO: Tina was an owner surrender along with her 9 puppies.  I can’t imagine why anyone would want to give her up though. She is the sweetest, most docile girl I have ever had the pleasure to foster! She is very well-behaved and just goes with the flow. On the day that I got her, I had a family reunion with about 40 people. She just laid around on the couch all day and soaked up the attention. She wasn’t disturbed by all the people at all. And it was literally about 5 days before I ever heard her bark. She will occasionally bark at the neighbor, but it’s not often.

She is content to lay on the couch by herself, but did enjoy my lap during a storm one night. At night, when it’s time for bed, she would rather sleep on the couch, but if I coax her (or go pick her up and carry her), she will sleep in her bed beside the big bed. I allowed her to sleep in the big bed one night just to see how she would do and she did great. She uses the doggy door like a champ but even if we didn’t have one I don’t think she would have any accidents. She is just a perfect little girl! She does have a little problem with itchy skin and is currently on antibiotics for that and it seems to be getting better. She was also very thin when we got her so we are trying to put some weight on her.

So if you’re looking for a very well-behaved and sweet as candy girl, look no further. I have no doubt she will not be available long, so put your application in as soon as possible! 

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.
