BIO UPDATE (9/8/2019):  Harris came from a high kill shelter in NC and his only chance of getting out was through rescue. Here’s some important information about Harris:

• Must have a fenced yard
• Must have another younger or playful dog in the home because he loves to play
• He is very friendly, a little shy at first but warms up quickly with a few little treats
• House broken to a schedule or a doggie door
• Only children over 10 years because a small child could hurt him
• No apartments, only homes with fenced yards please

This is Harris here!  I have been with my foster home for two weeks now.  Just been giving my foster mom time to get to know me.

I am a tiny little guy – cute, warm, cuddly, lovey, and I listen pretty well. 

This home is very busy and has a lot going on and visitors galore.  I get along with little dogs and BIG dogs.  Foster home has a dachshund whom I love to sleep with.  Retriever who I love to play with, and most of the time I instigate playtime.  Then, two shepherds and a boxer mastiff visited and we all got along just great.  Now I will tell you, they have a cat and boy, he's twice my size!  I bark at him and if I get too close, he will scratch me and put me in my place.

Kids?  LOVE them!  10 years and up.  I like to follow them around.  But they must know how to respect me and be nice. 

I am 95% house broken, my foster mom won't say 100% because with being adopted and the transition, I might have an accident.  I would like to go to a home with a fenced yard.  I want to be outside and sun as much as I can. 

Thank you for reading about me and should you be interested, go to our website and put in an application.

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.
