BIO:  Bloo came from NC when his owners could no longer care for him. Bloo is a very, very sweet boy, a little insecure but gains confidence when he feels comfortable in his new home.

He is house-broken and crate-trained but we don’t feel the need to crate him when we are gone 4-6 hours, he is not destructive in the home at all. We have a doggie door but we think with a little positive reinforcement he’d get back in the routine of going to the door to ask to go out.

Bloo is the unusual color of Blue and Tan, and this color tends to have thin fur. Aside from his unusual coloring, he truly is a gem on the inside. He loves his people and will follow you all over the home and yard. For that reason, we feel he really needs a fenced-in yard and someone that is home a lot or that can take him with them. He’d be fine with another dog but if you only want him then you would need to be with him more as he would get lonely.

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