BIO:  Ginger came from South Carolina when her owner was going through some family changes and could no longer care for her. Ginger is a sweet girl and just takes a minute to warm up to new people. She will come with her own crate, bed, and blanket. She likes playing with another dog but can be the fun-police if two other dogs are playing.

Our must haves for this delightful girl include:

• A fenced yard, this is not negotiable
• No apartments or high-rises 
• Someone who can be home a lot, though this is not necessary as long as it’s not over 8 hours
• Someone who is an avid walker or jogger because she loves to go for walks 

If you are interested in giving Ginger her last forever home, please fill out our online adoption application. Remember, she’s a small standard so she will need to stay around the 19 pound range to be healthy.

============== 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.

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.
