BIO:  Irene came from northern Alabama from a lady who we believe was either a hoarder or a breeder. Irene is not socialized, so she’s very scared of new things, that includes people and places. We must be careful where she gets adopted, so we are adamant that you meet all the requirements listed below before applying:

• A fenced yard
• Someone who is home a lot to help her settle in and feel safe
• Another well-socialized small dog for her to learn from
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos due to the shared walls
• While she may be a pretty girl she’s not for the inexperienced; you must have some experience with this type of dog.

If you want to get in touch with the foster mom you can email her, and we can discuss just what she’s looking for in a wonderful home for Irene. She is well worth the work needed for building her trust. Irene just needs some patience and love, and she’ll make a wonderful pet!

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