BIO UPDATE (6/28/21):  Martina is a fun-loving girl looking for that special family she can call her own. She's ready to cuddle with you while you read or watch television. She will hang out in the garden while you tend to your flowers. She loves to play with toys and other dogs. She loves to bring her toys to you so you can throw them... she will even bring the toys back so you can throw them again. Martina gets along with her foster brothers and sisters beautifully. She is not food aggressive.

The pictures on the website do not do her justice! She has a smooth coat the color of peanut butter and honey. She has a small compact body ready for fun. She needs to be in a home with another playful dog to keep her company. If you are ready to add a playful gem to you and your dog’s life, consider this beautiful girl! 

BIO:  Martina came to us from a shelter in Alabama along with her two puppies. She is a sweet, sweet girl and just wants a chance to show you how wonderful she can be.

She has the most beautiful blue eye and the mix of Dachshund and Beagle is a great combination.  Just remember, both are prey-driven hunters. Martina loves to cuddle with you and would love to sleep with you at night. She does like to play so a young, smaller dog in the home would be best.

Our wish list for this beautiful girl includes:

• A fenced yard
• No apartments or high rises
• Another dog or two for her to play with (small dogs preferable)
• Someone who can be home part of the time

If you fit these requirements and want to make her a part of your family, then please fill out our online adoption application and contact her foster home.

============== Information for All Dogs/Adopters ==============

If you have questions about this dog, please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above.  They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. 

We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo.  You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport.  If you choose transporting by either volunteers through our organization or by paid transporter, there will be an additional $55 fee added for the required Health Certificate. 

We will not adopt into CT, RI, NH, ME, or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states.  If you have an issue with this, you will need to take this up with your legislatures.

To understand the adoption process through AADR, please review the Adoption Information on our home page.  Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.

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.
