BIO:  AJ was surrendered by his owners in Tennessee when they feared he would be injured by the Boxer they had that was picking fights with him. AJ gets along great with the females we have had at the halfway house. We have not tried him with males. He really, really wants to be with his people and would be happy with anyone showing him attention.

Our must-haves for adorable AJ include:

• A fenced yard
• Someone who is home a lot to keep him company
• Another small female for him to be with when his people have to be gone
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos (no shared walls)

If you are able to meet all these requirements and would like to apply to adopt AJ, please go to our website and fill out our online adoption application.

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