NAME......................................BEAR DACHSHUND.......................PURE/TWEENIE COAT......................................SMOOTH COLOR...................................RED AGE.........................................4 yrs GENDER................................MALE/NEUTERED WEIGHT.................................12 lbs approx ADOPTION FEE....................225.00+10.00 chip fee contract Diane nashcat50us@yahoo.com THIS BOY IS REALLY VERY VERY SWEET AND FRIENDLY AND IS GOOD WITH BOTH MALE AND FEMALE DACHSHUNDS. WE'D LOVE TO SEE HIM GO TO A GREAT HOME VERY SOON!! BEAR was surrendered by his owners cause they said he was to protective of his daddy. We think they just didn't know how to deal with Dachshunds, they do have their quirks and you have to let them know that you are the Alpha. He is doing fine around here with other dogs, likes to cuddle in bed at night. Gets along with all the other dogs BUT DOES NOT LIKE CATS!! We think he would be fine with kids older than 12 yrs and he's fine with men and women. He is UTD on all shots, and on Interceptor and Frontline. He's really a sweet boy that needs a forever family that won't give up on him. If you are interested in adopting BEAR please go online to our website and fill out the online app. Out of state and Canadian adoptions are welcome. We have several transporters that for a fee will bring the dog as close to you as possible up the Eastern seaboard. A home visit is required on all adoptions. We also micro chip all our dogs and must pass the cost on to the adopter. It is only $10.00. Thank you for your interest in a rescue. To fill out an application for this dog please go to www.ssdr.org and fill out an app. we will be in touch shortly to do a phone interview. It is also best to have a dog in mind that you would like to adopt or if you don't please let us know that you'd like a dog that best fits your lifestyle.

Not Good with Cats, Is Not 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.
