BIO:  Peanut was rescued by a good Samaritan when they saw that he’d been tied to a porch of  their neighbors when the moved off and left him. They knew he’s starve to death so they went and got him and brought them to their home and started to look for a rescue that would take him, that’s where we came in. Peanut is a sweet sweet boy that loves to play ball and play with other dogs so you’ll need to have a dog also that likes to play or have the time to keep him happy by playing with him. He also likes cuddle time and will sleep in the big bed with you if that’s what you like.  He is doing very well with housetraining and is crate trained when you leave home.

Our wish for Peanut #6 is that you have a fenced in yard so he can run and play with your other  dog(s). Please consider giving Peanut his last home, you won’t be sorry he’s such a great dog!

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.
