Lola is a sweet and wonderful little girl once you can prove to her that she can trust you. She came to us very frightened and refusing to eat. After lots of love and trial and error, we have shown her that she can trust us. Once she understood that, she has showered us with kisses!! She loves to snuggle and her favorite place to sit is in your lap. She will follow you wherever you go so watch where you step! :) Also, don't even think about climbing into the big bed without her!! She loves to walk on the leash and take rides in the car. Lola will not eat dog food of any kind yet. We have been feeding her baked chicken breast, chicken livers, scrambled eggs and hamburger. Her weight is back up to almost 5 lbs. now. She will probably do best as an only dog as she is tiny and a bit territorial over her person. She will make a wonderful best friend for a person that is willing to spend the time and emotional energy that is needed to gain her trust.

Good with Dogs, Good with Cats, Is Not Good with Kids
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.
