BIO:  Hi! My name is Copper I am so happy that ADDR rescued me and is going to help me find my furever home. I had a really great start in life not like some of the others fur babies at the rescue. My first owner passed away and I was adopted by a really great man and he passed away also.  His great niece was going to keep me and give me a great home. It would have been really great she is a vet! But one big drawback she has 5 cats and I do not get along with them. So off we go to the rescue to start looking for a 4^th furever home, I am really hoping that this will be my last one. I am a really friendly boy and a real live wire, I love to have things thrown so that I can run after them. Did I tell you I could run like the wind that is why I need a yard that is fenced in. I really love, love squeaky toys they are so much fun to tear apart, so that is a requirement lots of squeaky toys.  I am housebroken, crate trained and up to date on all shots.

Please consider me for your new furbaby, I promise to give you lots of love and doggie kisses.

============== 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 $35.00 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.
