BIO:  Rascal is an adorable little boy that would do just about anything to please you. He was surrendered from a very bad situation where his owners divorced and passed him and his life mate back and forth and moved into several homes in just a few months. Rascal suffers from separation anxiety because of the confusion his owners put him through. To top off his difficult plight, his life partner died and he was left alone. This just added to his misery. He has been a foster of mine for about three weeks and has made huge improvements since he has come into my home. He is well loved and is learning to trust that we are not leaving him.

Rascal is really not what his name says of him. He is very loving and attentive. He is also very playful and loves to go outside for walks. If you love to walk, this is your companion! He gets along well with other dogs but thinks cats are fun to chase so I don’t trust him around cats. He has never had interaction with small children and because of his separation anxiety I think that small children would not be a good fit for his personality. He is still a young guy with many years of love and companionship left to share with the right owners. Please consider giving Rascal the chance to have a happy loving home that he so much deserves.

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 shipping by volunteers through our organization or paid transporter, then there will be an additional $35 fee for the Health Certificate required. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.

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.
