Peanut was taken to the SPCA because the owner was having a baby and could no longer afford a dog. Peanut is the most playful, happiest dog with a great disposition and a sense of humor. He is friendly with the other dogs in the foster home and shares his toys happily. He loves to have his little front paws massaged and sleeps belly up with al 4's in the air. Peanut is a clown, always doing something to make you laugh. He would be wonderful for a family or a single person who can spend time with him. Older kids would be ok as he loves to play but Peanut is frightened of skateboards so a home without skateboarders is a must and so is a fenced yard.

Good with Dogs, Not Good with Cats, Is Not 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.
