FOSTER HOME Stephanie smburmei@comcast.net

Kit Kat was turned in to a shelter because they had way too many dogs and no longer wanted them. So, Kit and 8 other mini dachshunds need forever homes! All of these dogs were given names of candy, so we call them the Sugar Babies! She’s very much a love bug and champion-grade snuggler and is sweet, outgoing, happy, playful and has a gentle spirit and loves to be with people people!  She would be fine with children with her gentle temperament, but is very small and LOOONG! So, children must be old enough to understand the importance of careful handling with a small, delicately built dog.

Snickers is kept on a predictable eat/potty schedule at her foster home and is doing beautifully! You must remember that she requires on-going consistency and patience to ensure that she is successful in her forever home. She’s just a little puppy and must be on a schedule and have positive rewards of praise—and treats! Kit has never been an only dog, so she would do well with a brother or sister.  But, with her people-loving personality, she might be fine as an only child in the right circumstance. She’s been cat tested, and passed with flying colors!

If you have any questions or want more pictures, email her foster mom, Stephanie: smburmei@comcast.net   THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE!

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 transporting by volunteers through our organization or a commercial transporter, a $35 fee for the Health Certificate must be added to the adoption fee.

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.
