BIO:

Lucy Gail has Doxitude!!! She wants to be top dog with her family and the other dogs in the household so if you are willing to work with her on that or have no other dogs than please consider adopting her. She has lost a little weight but sill working on her girlish figure which should be perfect about the time she is ready to come to you in 2-3 weeks.

Big attitude in a little package. She thinks she’s all that and a bag of chips! Lucy Gail was found as a stray by a good Samaritan, when she wandered up to her home out in the country in rural TN. The Good Samaritan looked for the owner but none was found so we were contacted to see if we would take her. We were happy to take this beautiful little girl. When she first met the rescue lady she was a little snippy but warmed quickly and decided that the rescue lady was ok too. She didn’t like the crate she was put in and voiced her opinion loudly.

Rescue felt there was no doubt that Lucy Gail belonged to someone because she had not been on her own long so she was dumped for whatever reason.  It took her all of half a day to get used to the other dogs, doggie door and follow her temp foster mom all over the house. She is happy at night to go into the gated kitchen and snuggle down in her very own doggie bed but the next morning when she hears you stirring she’s letting you know that she wants out and she promptly goes out to do her business.

Lucy Gail does have a few more lbs than she really needs so we have her on a diet and when finished she should be about 11lbs. Her little legs are no longer than about 2 inches long and she has the cutest fat feet and wrinkles. Because her legs are so short it’s important to get the weight off her and not allow her to jump or do a lot of stairs. From what we can see she is housebroken but might have an accident or two in her new home.

Our wish for Lucy Gail is to have a fenced in yard, a family that is home most of the time or take her with them and won’t allow her to get over-weight and jump or have a lot of stairs. Thank you for thinking of rescue and remember when you adopt one you save two the one you adopted and the one you made room for.

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.
