Her toenails were about an inch long and were curling into her pads but we have her all cleaned up and taken care of and now she just needs to learn that this big world out here is a lot better than the small world she came from. She is shy and timid but slowly she's learning that no one will hurt her. She would probably do better with another dachshund so she can learn to be a dachshund and learn to love and trust. If you'd like to be the one to watch her come out of her shell please go to www.ssdr.org and fill out an online application and be sure to put her name on the application. She is UTD on all shots on Interceptor and Frontline and has had her teeth cleaned as well. Out of state and Canadian adopters are welcome and a home visit is required.

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.
