BIO:  Shirley came from a shelter in East Tennessee where she was turned in because the owner had passed away.

Shirley is a sweet dog but don’t tell her she’s 8 years old as she sure doesn’t act it! She loves hanging with the younger dogs and playing with them. Our wishes for her include:

• A fenced yard
• Another smaller dog for her to hang with and keep her company if you have to go out
• No apartments or high-rises
• Someone that can be home a lot as she loves her people

Don't let this little lady pass you by. Her pictures do not do her justice. Shirley is a sweet, loving dog who will make you feel like the most interesting person in the world. She is always up for whatever you want to do. She will enhance your daily walk with the joy and enthusiasm of a best friend. Shirley will quietly sit with you for reading and meditation. She loves to watch TV and will always let you watch your favorite program without complaint. Although she loves to cuddle and sit with you, she also likes to spend time alone on a chair or dog bed. When you announce it is bedtime, Shirley will race you under the covers to get them warm and cozy.  She is perfectly house trained with a dog door. 

Her previous owner obviously loved and treasured Shirley and Shirley shows it. Are you the one who can provide the same love and care for Shirley for the rest of her life?

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.
