BIO:  

Foxy came from a shelter in rural AR along with 8 other dachshunds but not from the same home. We don’t know why she was at the shelter but we do know she was very very scared there and the lady that saw her there just couldn’t leave her so she fostered her until we could get her to TN were she is being completely vetted, retained baby teeth taken out, and now is looking for her forever home. She is very very loveable and the special home we are looking for her has to be either home a lot or work from home  or can take her to work with them. She’s a mini so she won’t take up much room, loves everyone and is just a joy to have around. She does like to play with the other fosters both male and female but if her person was home most of the time we think she’d be fine being an only dog.

No invisible fencing and a fenced in yard is desired but walking on a leash is ok if you understand that she may need to be retrained to potty on a leash.

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.
