BIO:

Nugget was turned in to an animal shelter when her owner passed away. She was well cared for and a little overweight, but has started a diet and exercise program and is close to a healthy weight now. She had her teeth cleaned and lost a couple, but is feeling great now.

Nugget walks well on a leash and enjoys walks around the neighborhood. She is friendly with the new people we meet. Nugget gets along well with other dogs. She has not been around cats, but can be introduced to some if you need to know how she does. Nugget hasn't been around young children, but is friendly and would be fine with children who are old enough to understand they must be gentle with her. She is housebroken and well behaved in the house, so she has not been crated. At night Nuggie sleeps in a dog bed in foster mom's room and spends her days lounging in the sun.

Nugget arrived with her friend, Butterscotch, so if you are looking for a pair, they are already friends. They are independent, so do not need to be adopted together.

If you are looking for a laid back little walking buddy, Nugget is your girl! You can learn more and fill out an application at www.allamericandachshundrescue.org

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.
