Meet Dub, a very handsome fellow who was given up along with another dog by a family in North Carolina who could no longer keep them. He has just arrived at his new Foster Home but is already getting along fine with the other dogs and cat(s). He is very good with the “Dog Savvy” cat, but, how he does with the more flighty kitty remains to be seen.
We can already tell that Dub is a smart and funny little guy. He likes to talk and does not mind letting you know when he wants something. His whole body wiggles along with his tail when he is excited which is just adorable. He LOVES balls and uses his snout to roll it over to you so you can throw it for him. Dub is still young and full of energy so it is important he go to a family that can keep up with him, however children who know how to respect a dachshund is a must. It does appear that he is a “The squeaker must die” kind of guy but he is also very sweet. He loves to give and receive kisses and will snuggle up next to you for a peaceful nights sleep or just a nap on the couch. I have not witnessed any accidents in the house.
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.
