BIO:  

Hi, I’m Ajax!!!  I’m a bundle of puppy energy looking for a forever home!  I’m learning how to enjoy things I never had before – a bed, toys and good food!  I’m shy until I know you won’t hurt me, after that I’m your best buddy!  Won’t you open your home and heart to me?

Ajax lived his first 18 months in a barn with little to no human contact, no love, no toys, no bed and poor quality food.  He is making up for lost time!  He is very shy at first, but once he warms up he is a total love!  As soon as I sit down, he is at my side doing the pick me up dance.  As soon as picked up, he cuddles in and ‘hugs’ back!  Ajax has so much to learn about being a beloved pet, and he’s doing great!  This little guy won’t last long, get your application in now.

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.
