BEING FOSTERED IN MIDDLE TN....
Scarlett O'Hara always said, "I'll think about it tomorrow. After all, tomorow is another day." Our little Scarlett almost didn't have tomorrow. Listed as a stray at the shelter in Bowling Green, KY., this black and tan girl was within about 24 hours of dying when we got her picked up and to our veterinarian. She had a lung infection that had green stuff coming out her nose, a kidney infection that had shut them down, her thyroid wasn't working and all her teeth were abcessed. Scarlett spent almost two weeks in intensive care and isolation. Her bill topped $1,000. When she came to her foster home, she was weak and pretty much oblivious to everyone and everything. Boy, what a difference attention and care will bring! Today, Scarlett is a bossy little dowager empress. She enjoys her food and her bed, she also likes taking a stroll out on the patio or through the yard. She does not like to get up on the bed or sofa but she loves to lie nearby you. She gets along with other dogs and cats - and is surprisingly tolerant of kids, even little ones, if they are well behaved. Can you give Scarlett a last loving home? She'll make you smile every day. Or, can you send a donation to help out her veterinarian bills?

Good with Dogs, Good with Cats, Is Not Good with Kids
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.
