BIO: Coco came from Virginia where her owners reached out asking us to take her and another dog because they could no longer care for them.

Coco is a sweet, sweet girl!  She is a little on the shy side at first but warms up pretty quickly.  She loves to follow you around and especially loves to be your lap dog when you have down time.

She’s a beautiful long hair with curly fur and soulful eyes... you could get lost in them.  Coco is laid back and gets along with male and female pups.  She might need to have a refresher on going to the door when she needs to go out as we have a doggie door at the Halfway House, but she’s going to a foster home that will help her on her way to being a wonderful pet for you to adopt.  If you are looking for a laid back, beautiful girl that needs a little weight loss program, then Coco is your gal!

We think Coco would do better with another dachshund but if you are home a lot she might be just fine being the center of your world.

This little girl won’t last long so don’t wait to apply.  Because if you do wait, she could already have another application in front of you.

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.
