Roxie the Doxie Update (9/28/18):  Let’s make one thing perfectly clear about me - I am a Queen! I love my people and once the other dogs learn I am the Queen, I love them too. I like a soft spot to nap and feel safe in my crate at night. I require a fenced yard so I can hunt and run after squirrels and rabbits. Daily walks keep me in shape and tire me out. Did I say I like naps? I like to cuddle with my people and sometimes with my foster brother, Wally. I like all the people I have met at my foster home and will greet them with a kiss. I really could use a home soon that will love and care for me for forever. Oh yes, I didn’t mention this, but I only have 1 eye but believe me, I see everything.

Yours Truly,

Roxie The Doxie

BIO (7/24/2018):  Hi!  My name is Roxie and I was dumped at a shelter in Western KY when my family decided to move to another state and the hotels would only let mom and dad have 3 dogs in the room.  You see, they had 5 of us so guess what, me and another Dachshund named Hershey had to go.  So, off to the shelter we went where we didn’t stand a chance of getting adopted.  However, the shelter director knew this lovely lady that belonged to this rescue.  She called her and she came and took us away to a better place.

I can’t remember when it happened but I had an eye injury that was never cared for by my old owners.  When I came into rescue they tried to get it treated but decided it had to be taken out.  I’m ok with it ‘cause I couldn’t see out of it anyway.  So now two weeks after surgery, here I am.  They have not taken any pix of me yet after my eye has healed but they promised me they would soon.

I love to be in your lap - that is my favorite thing to do! - and I’m house broken to a doggie door but will need a strict schedule if you don’t have one and I prefer if you’d go out with me.  Other than my eye, I’m a healthy 10-year-old and very pretty if I do say so myself.

I would love, love, love a home with a fenced yard, another dog to cuddle with (or shoot, I’m fine by myself too!), and a human who is home with me all day long to keep me company.  That would be fantastic!  Can you fill my wish list?  Gosh, I hope so.  While it’s great here in foster care I really want a home of my own.

They said I was good with cats and I probably am unless they run, then the game is on. Help me please find my last forever home!

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.
