BIO:  Gerta is a 5-year-old red wire-haired dachshund who came to AADR from a breeder. She is playful with toys and her foster dachshund brother and sisters. Gerta is a beauty with a cool blonde stripe down the back of her head and neck. She smiles and wags her tail happily and has quickly learned the foster household routine. She is house-trained to go outside and on a pee pad at night. Due to her background, Gerta is skittish and timid and will need an owner who is patient and willing to spend time to earn her trust. She is a runner, so a secure fenced yard is a must!

Our must-haves for this sweet girl include:

• A fenced yard
• The adopter is required to live in Arkansas or a state that borders Arkansas 
• Someone with patience who will enjoy seeing her continue to grow and become a wonderful little family member
• A home without small children
• A small, young, adult, well-socialized dog to be her buddy
• Breeder dog experience is a plus
• No apartments, high-rises, or condos
   

============== 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.  Transport assistance is available.

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 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.
