       BIO:

       Darla was an owner turn in, and her previous home stated that she was excellent with children. Darla is truly the quietest dachshund that I've ever been around. She is also very sweet and affectionate. She loves to snuggle, and just curl up on the couch. When she isn't snuggling on the couch, she will be your shadow, and follow you around the house. She would also be fine in a household that has other dogs as long as you let her know you are the pack leader, she would not do well in a home that let's the dogs run the household. Darla would really do best in a home without other dogs as she is an attention hog and she will try to get all the attention.

The best home we could hope for would be one that has a fenced in yard, no other dogs, and a retired couple or someone home most of the time.

She walks wonderfully on a leash, and she is crate-trained. 

Darla is also potty-trained when kept on a schedule. Darla is such a sweetheart, and would be a wonderful addition for her new forever
home.

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.
