BIO:  This handsome boy is Rowdy, a 4-year-old smooth red. Don’t let the name fool you; he’s anything but rowdy! He was pulled from a shelter in Kentucky and is still a little timid because of that. Rowdy does take a little time to warm up to new people, but once he does, he is affectionate, and he’ll be at your side all the time.  

After coming into rescue, he went to the vet and had many teeth removed. That doesn’t slow him down at mealtimes, though; soft food is just fine with him. Rowdy loves sitting down with his foster mom and just relaxing; he falls asleep every time! He also gets along very well with both male and female dogs he has met while in his foster home. Rowdy rides well in the car and likes his toys! He loves running around the yard with the other dogs, so a fenced yard is a must. He would do best in a home with another dog he can hang out with.

Our must-haves for sweet Rowdy include:

• A fenced yard
• Another small dog for him to buddy with
• No apartments, condos, or high-rises

 ============== 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 dachshund’s back or get bitten.

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

There will be an additional $60 fee added for a required Health Certificate if traveling out of the state in which they are being fostered.

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 any 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 who will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast or 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.
