BIO:  Smokey was surrendered to AADR because his owner had to go to a memory care facility. Smokey was obviously well-loved for 7 1/2 years. He is now ready to move on to his furever home. 

If you are looking for a mature dog who is calm and settled, Smokey will be your perfect match. He is happy just hanging out and following his favorite person around. He loves to sit right next to you while you are reading, watching TV, or doing crafts. He likes to sleep in a comfy dog bed or a cushy chair at night. He seems to prefer women, probably because his previous owner was a woman, but he gradually warms up to the men he meets. He would be comfortable as an only dog, but he also gets along with other dogs.

If you want a mature dog who loves to cuddle and hang out, Smokey is your man!

Our must-haves for handsome Smokey include:

• A fenced yard
• Someone who is home a lot, works from home, or is newly retired
• Another dog to keep him company if you need to be out of the house
• No apartments, high rises, or condos – anything with 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.
