BIO:  Link was surrendered when his owner had a baby. He does not act his age at all and is very playful. He doesn't really play with the other dogs but gets along fine with them. This boy loves his food and eats fast! He will arrive at his forever home with his slow feeder bowl. This handsome guy loves to burrow, even during naps, so having blankets around the house is a must. He is super sweet and would even sleep in your bed or “spoon” with you if you wanted him to. 

On his back, Link’s fur is thin with some balding spots. The vet says it is "male pattern baldness". He is taking melatonin to see if it grows back, and it may. He will just need to wear sweaters or other warm clothing when the weather is cool.

Our must-haves for handsome Link include:

• A fenced yard
• Someone who isn't away much
• No apartments, high-rises, condos, or duplexes
  
  

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

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast and mid-west. We just can't get them from one coast to the other. For now, please look for dogs on your coast.
