BEING FOSTERED IN B'HAM, AL
CHIP WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE END OF MAY TO GO TO HIS NEW HOME AS HE IS BEING TREATED FOR HEARTWORMS AND WILL BE READY THE END OF MAY
He went from his breeder to a family who didn't have time for him so he began a journey from home to home. Everywhere he went, there was not alot of time for him. Eventually, he ended up living outdoors with a diet of primarily table scraps. At one point, another dog jumped him and he has some scars on his belly but they aren't much to see now. That's good since he was left to heal on his own without vet care. He's neutered and immediately headed to the doggy door once he knew where it was. Chip is 4 1/2 years old and a true gentleman. His rescuer cleaned him up and tucked him in bed with her for the night he spent with her. She said he put his head on her shoulder and went right to sleep. He's been at my house for an hour and he's sleeping under my chair. He'll need help to lose weight but once that's done, he should have a long, healthy life if he can find a family who will promise to keep him and love him forever. We've promised Chip that his traveling days are over.
WE WILL NOT SHIP OUR DOGS CARGO, TOO MANY HORROR TALES HAVE HAPPENED FOR US TO FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING THIS. IF WE CAN'T TRANSPORT BY LAND THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO FLY TO THE CITY THAT THE DOG IS BEING FOSTERED IN TO GET HIM/HER. 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 or down to FLORDIA. 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. Keep in mind that we are all volunteers and have other obligations so please let your references and vet know that we will be calling to vai all info that you put on your application. If you use two vets then please let us know that so we get all info on your dog possible to determine if you are a suitable home for our dog. If you do not let us know these things this maybe the factor that you will be turned down to adopt one of our dogs.

Good with Dogs, Good with Cats, 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.
