BIO:  What a cute little guy! Zeus was surrendered to AADR when his family moved and could not take him with them. Zeus was shy when he first came to us, but he has opened up and become more social. We think he would do better in a quieter home with another small dog (male or female) to keep him company and help him with socialization. Zeus is an adorable pup with the sweetest personality who just wants to be loved!

In searching for Zeus' forever home, we are asking for: 

• Someone that either works from home or is newly retired so they can spend time with him.
• A fenced yard since he does like to be outside in nicer weather.
• No apartments, high-rises, or condominiums that have shared walls in case he would bark and cause a problem.
• Maybe someone that has experience with unsocialized dogs and the patience and love to help him continue with his socialization.

Can you help Zeus? He is a very nice dog and is well worth the effort to help him become the pet he wants to be!

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