BIO:  

Benny was surrendered due to family circumstances.  He loves to sit in your lap and snuggle.  He will also sit up and beg for kisses.  When he is afraid he is a talker and will bark until he knows all danger is gone.  Benny enjoys riding in the car and going for walks.  He lived in a city before and had never been off a leash, but now he loves to run around the fenced-in yard.  He also loves to lay in the sunshine whenever possible.  Benny is very affectionate and will follow you wherever you go. 

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.
