If you wish to adopt two puppies let us know and we'll work with you on the adoption fees.

These babies were born in rescue 5 days after we took in their mom and daddy from a family that was moving and could not take them where they were moving to.

The mom was DNA tested, and she is 56% Dachshund, 29% Chihuahua, and 15% two other breeds.  Mom is about 8 pounds and mostly Dachshund, so none of her puppies will be big. We also have the daddy, he is a smooth black, Chiweenie.

Liam was the smallest but he's caught up to the others. Fully grown he will probably be 10 pounds or less like his mom and daddy. His personality is just starting to come through, and he is learning to hold his own with the others. If you are interested in adopting Liam, please fill out an online adoption application. He cannot go to his forever home until he's had his 2nd puppy shots.

We have DNA tested all the puppies, and the top 2 breeds detected in Liam’s DNA were:
57% Dachshund
28% Chihuahua
 

Their puppy teeth are all the way in, and they are eating hard puppy food like a champ!

Our must-haves for little Liam include:

• A fenced yard
• Another young dog or cat, under 20 pounds to play with
• You must have enough time to potty train him
• No apartments, condos, or high-rises (no shared walls)

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