BIO:  Dottie was found as a stray and turned in to a shelter.  She had bladder stones which caused her to have pain and incontinence.  Those have been removed and she is feeling much better.  She will need to eat special dog food to prevent a recurrence of the stones.  

Dottie is well housebroken.  At night she has been sleeping in a dog bed, but she would love to sleep with her people.  She has a cute personality and is a real snuggler once she gets to know you.

Dottie loves to go for walks and to spend time outside, so a fenced yard is a must for her.  She gets along well with other dogs and is wary of cats, but does not chase them.  

She is nervous around small children, but is friendly with older children.  She rides well in the car.   

If you are looking for a pretty little buddy, Dottie is your girl!

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.
