BIO:  This beautiful little lady is Sassy, a 7 year old longhair who is as loving as they come.  She absolutely loves being around people and especially loves being in their laps every chance she gets.  She also likes running around the backyard with her foster brothers and sisters and does very well on a leash.  She is very friendly to everyone she meets and will give kisses to show you how much she likes you!  Sassy would make the perfect addition for a family or for someone looking to add a 4-legged companion to their 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.
