BIO:  Nigel and his brother, Parker, lived with their owner, who was bedridden. Both were surrendered as their owner was no longer able to care for them. Nigel is a sweet boy who needs a quiet home as he is easily startled. He has shown no aggression toward his two female canine companions in the foster home. Cat companion behavior unknown. He loves to play with toys and snuggle, and prefers male humans. Nigel is truly the watch-a-football game kind of boy and sneaks kisses during commercials.  

Nigel was on the chunky side but has done well obtaining a waistline with strict scheduled feeding. Overall his health is excellent. Having said that, it is highly recommended that the adopter be well-educated in the breed as he has a tendency to jump on furniture. These behaviors of jumping are a no-no with their predisposition to back injury. 

Our must-haves for adorable Nigel include:

• A fenced yard
• Someone who is home most of the day
• Prefer a male adopter
• A home without stairs  

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