Archie came to rescue from an animal shelter in central Alabama, so we don’t know much about his past. What we do know is that Archie is a happy, fun-loving boy that loves everybody he meets, both men and women. He is enjoying playing in the backyard with his foster brother and is a strong, sturdy boy that is able to romp with the best of them. He has not been kid-tested, but he is not skittish or fearful and friendly from the moment you meet him, so we think he would be fine with respectful children---especially if they’re willing to play with him. We also don’t know about cats, but hope that any cat he meets is very fast—his foster mom thinks he might have a good time chasing them.

Archie is a very young boy, we have him listed as 3 years old, but he may be younger. He was recently neutered, had all vaccines, and was microchipped and is now looking for a fun-loving household that will include him in their activities. Archie is learning basic commands along with his foster brother and is doing well on housetraining. We recommend that he be kept on a routine and he should be a fine gentleman in no time. He’s a smart boy and catching on quickly and his foster parents think he’ll thrive in an environment that will continue with some basic training.

If you have questions or would like additional pictures, just email his mom: smburmei@comcast.net. If you think Archie is the “ONE” you’ve been waiting to steal your heart, please complete an application for adoption ASAP. He’s a love and can’t wait to meet you!

Out of State and Canadian adopters are welcome. We do not ship our dogs cargo. You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport.

If you have questions about this dog please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above.  We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo.  Please Read Before You Adopt to learn more about transportation options.  If you are interested in adopting this Dachshund please Read Before You Adopt and Fill Out an Application.

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.

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.
