Christy was returned to us after she was adopted in 2013 due to life changes and sadly the adopter had to return her. Christy didn’t mind cause she has foster brothers and sisters to play with and LOTS of toys.
Christy is a really sweetheart, house broken, leash trained and good with kids. Even better if they play with her. Christy loves nothing better than for you to play by throwing her toy or playing tug of war but remember this SHE likes to win.
We want to see a fenced in yard for Christy so she can continue to run and play and another younger dog to play with as well. You won’t regret making the decision adopting this one.

Good with Dogs, 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.
