BIO: 

Capp came from a shelter in Northern AL as a stray. We do not think that he had a very good life before being picked up as a stray. When he came in he was hand shy like possibly he’d been hit? He is getting better as time has passed but whomever adopts him will have to have patient and understand that he has some trust issues BUT once he’s gotten used to your home he’ll be fine. He likes to get up in the chair or couch with his foster mom or dad or if you are moving about the house or yard he’ll be right there with you.

We think he would do better with another well-adjusted dog so he can continue to learn to trust.

Please do not let this small thing stop you from adopting him. He’s a great dog and it’s not his fault that someone made him this way.

He does better if you get down on his level but he walks great on a leash and seems happy to be going for walks….just give him a chance please!

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.
