BIO: Henry came from a kill shelter in AL where he was given up by his owner, who said he was too old.

Let’s make this very clear - there is nothing old about Henry, he’s a great dog and deserves a better owner than his last one! He’s had a fresh dental with no extractions so he’s ready to find his forever home.

He loves a fenced-in yard, he’ll run out with the rest of the pack and do his business and then come back in.  Henry is not an in-your-face kinda guy, he’ll sit in your lap but will also find himself a nice doggie bed and snooze in that while you do your things around the house.  He would probably be just fine while you run errands or go out with your friends. He’s a great all around guy and deserves to be treated with kindness and a loving home this time around.

He’s fine with other dogs and he’d be fine with cats too if they are dog savvy!

Consider adoption for you next family member and remember this is going to be a 7+ yr commitment to Henry! 

=============== Information for all dogs/adopters ==============

If you have questions about this dog please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above.  They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. 

We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo. You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport. If you choose transporting by either volunteers through our organization or by paid transporter, there will be an additional $45 Fee added for the required Health Certificate. 

We will not adopt into the state of CT, RI or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have an issue with this, you need to take this up with your legislatures.

We are now approved to adopt/foster in the state of NH but adopters will have to pay health certificate fee of $45.00 once to get the dog to our quarantine facility and another $50.00 fee to get the dog out of quarantine after two days.

To understand the adoption process through AADR, please visit the Adoption Information.  Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.

If you are interested in adopting this Dachshund please Read Before You Adopt and then you can complete an Application.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.

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 or up and down the West Coast. We just can't get them from one Coast to the other but some day we hope to have enough volunteers to do that as well.  For now, please look for dogs on your coast.

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.
