She is very beautiful and very smart. She came to us pregnant early November, and in only a few weeks, starting using the door dog. Once Bella learned she could count on us to let her out in the morning she kept her sleeping area dry and clean. She learned not to chase chickens, which sometimes is hard for dachshunds! She loves going for walks. Bella is an alpha female, and would do best in a home as an only dog, or with gentle male. She likes children, very much. My son is 15 and she truly attached herself to him. But very young children might alarm her, as she is only just learning to trust people. Yelling or kids being loud, and running in play worry her. She has been a very protective mom to her puppies. When she is worried she retreats to a hiding place. In our home it has been the laundry basket. Bella loves to be brushed. She is being treated for ear mites, and sits patiently for ear cleaning. She is truly a beauty, and with her quiet ways and deep bark, she seems more like a big dog, than a small dog. This beautiful girl would certainly make a loving and faithful companion.
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.

Good with Dogs, Good with Cats, 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.
