BIO: Mikey came from a very high kill shelter in northern AL where he was dumped by his owner.

You could not ask for a sweeter, more submissive little boy so we are not sure what the owner was thinking when they dumped him. We were contacted by another rescue group to see if we would take him and we were happy to do so.

Mikey gets along with every other foster in the household and would be great with another dog or all by himself.

Mikey does love lap time and as you sit down to unwind after a long day, he’s there to help you do that and he’ll sit there as long as you want.

If you are looking for a dog that you can take anywhere or just to chill at home while you are away, Mikey is the one for you. You might have to work with him on a refresher house-training since he’s now used to a doggie door but if you are willing to do that, he’s willing to re-learn. Also, we think a fenced-in yard would be just awesome for little Mikey.

=============== 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.

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.
