BIO:

Rascal was rescued from a shelter in Louisiana.  The only thing they knew about him was that he was a stray.  He has been neutered and has had bladder stones removed.  He is recovering and doing very well.  His foster family is made up of a greyhound and another doxie.  He has done very well with both dogs.  He is friendly and never meets a stranger.  He loves to give kisses and is very excited to see you when you come home!  He is very calm and doesn’t bark a lot.  He is somewhat timid but it could be because of everything he has been through.  He would do well with a family that can give him a lot of attention and love. He would be happy as an inside dog but loves a fenced yard.  He also can use a doggy door. Are you the one who can give Rascal a forever home!?!  He deserves it because he is a sweet, sweet little man!

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.
