BIO:

Must have a fenced in yard and another dog or cat to play with...

Lester is very adventurous and likes to get to know his surroundings well. He’s a bit shy at first and he likes to take his time to get to know people. He gets along with other dogs quickly. He enjoys spending time outdoors running and playing, but he’s also content to curl up on the sofa next to you. Lester is smart and curious. He listens well when he’s given verbal guidance and positive reinforcement. Lester would do best in a home where he doesn’t have to spend a lot of time alone (without humans) and where he would have access to a secure yard for exercise.

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.
