BIO:  Franklin is another one of the MO puppymill dogs that came in when the owner closed her kennel. Talk about sweet, this boy’s tail never stops wagging, HE loves attention. He gets along with all the fosters, male and female. We don’t know about cats. Probably older kids 10 yrs and up would be ok as long as they paid attention to him.

He is doing well with house-breaking to a doggie door but if you didn’t have one taking him out on a schedule would help. He is fine in a crate when you go away. He did however lose a lot of teeth due to the poor care he got while at the puppymill but he can eat softened hard food with no problem.

Please give Franklin a home in his twilight years. He’ll pay you with loves of love and kisses.

We want Franklin to have a fenced in yard, he loves being outside in the grass.

If you have questions about this dog please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above.  We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo. You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport. If they choose transporting by volunteers through our organization or paid transporter, there will be an additional $35 Fee for the required Health Certificate. 

We will not adopt into the state of CT, RI or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have an issue with this you need to take this up with your legislatures.

We are now approved to adopt/foster in the state of NH but adopters will have to pay health certificate fee of 35.00 once to get the dog to our quarantine facility and another 35.00 fee to get the dog out of quarantine after two days.

To understand the adoption process through AADR please visit the Adoption Information.  Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.

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 or up and down the West Coast. We just can't get them from one Coast to the other but some day we hope to have enough volunteers to do that as well for now please look for dogs on your coast.

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.
