BIO:  Dudley came from middle Tennessee when his owner could no longer care for him. He’s sweet but scared of any new situation, most likely because he was not socialized when he was a puppy. He will take time to trust but when he does, he’s very, very sweet.

Our must haves for this adorable boy include:

• A fenced yard
• Another well-socialized dog to help him learn to trust
• Someone who can be home a lot because he is used to people being around
• Children will be fine as long as they understand they can’t come at him fast, he has to warm to them

We understand he’s a beautifully colored Dachshund but don’t apply just because of that... you must have patience with him because he is going to be scared at first and he will hide from you. His foster mom will be very selective about where he goes and his adopter must have the patience and understanding that it will take time for him to come out of his shell.

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

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 dachshunds back or get bitten.

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.

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 MidWest. We just can't get them from one Coast to the other. Please look for dogs on your coast.
