We would like to keep Barbie local so we will only consider the states of PA, NJ or NY for adoption. Barbie wants to be an only dog so she can soak up all the attention that she DIDN"T get when she was in TN with the neglectful owners. Not only did they neglect her health but they broke her spirt. We have that back now and we are looking for the perfect forever home for her. BIO: Barbie would make a wonderful dog for a retired person. She is very laid back and just happy sleeping away the day in a nice sunny spot. She is fine with other dog and children but prefers to be alone most of the time, this is why I think she would do best with older children and a slower paste home life. She does have some weight to loose and we are working on that. Because she has had 2 hernia operations it very important that she maintains a healthy weight for the rest of her life. She loves belly rubs and to sleep with a blanket she can snuggle under…. also once in a while a carrot for a treat ...that's her favorite. If Barbie sounds like a fit for your home please feel free to email anytime.

Good with Dogs, Good with Kids
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.
