Tanner came to us after being dropped off in the overnight box at the Shelby County overnight box in Shelby County, AL. I am not sure why anyone would want to give up this true doll. All Tanner wants to do is cuddle up in someone's lap and in a bed at night. I am not sure what has happened in his past to make him fearful of crates, but he is truely afraid of them. Even though he is afraid of crates he is completely housetrained and just wants to lay on a couch all day and watch TV. I have not found any undesirable character traits with Tanner and the only reason that it says no children or cats on his description is that he has not been tested with them (but he is very passive about everything so I am not sure that he would have a problem with either). Tanner comes to you UTD on shots, Heartworm negative and on Interceptor. Tanner is just looking for a lap to cuddle in, so please give him that forever home that he deserves.

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.
