BIO: 

Precious #4 came from a backyard breeder in AL that was giving up the rest of his stock because he was going into assisted living.  Precious is pretty friendly once she knows that she has nothing to fear. We believe she spent a lot of time in the breeder's home and that’s why she’s pretty friendly.  She does great with pottying on newspaper or potty pads and will go outside on a schedule and really likes you to be out there with her while she does her business. She does not do well on a leash and for that reason a fenced yard would be best. Also another dog to keep her company would be ideal since she’s been used to being with other dogs.

Precious loves to spend time in your lap and soak up the attention. She really is a sweet, sweet girl and needs a home that will work with her on her leash training and potty habits. She’s better than most puppymill dogs but is not to the pet stage yet. If you’d like the challenge and want to say you turned a puppymill dog's life around, then Precious is the girl for you. She’s fine with both men and women. If you have further questions please email.

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.
