BIO: Huber was dropped off at our halfway house in Lewisburg after he came up to a house in the country and was there for a week. The person whose house he came up to tried to find the owner but none was to be found so she contacted us. They would have loved to have kept him but they couldn’t have an animal where they lived. You could tell after a week he was attached to the lady but we took him and he was shy at first but then after several days he realized he was in good hands and was very sweet. So it’s important that you go slow with him and let him know he has nothing to fear then he’s all yours. He uses the doggy door at the halfway house and keeps his kennel clean. He will drag toys out in the yard but that’s typical for a dachshund. We don’t know about cats but we’d say no and his housetraining will need to be consistent and rewarded. We don’t know about a crate because we’ve never had him in one but he’s very food motivated. 

This boy deserves a great home because he’s worth it! 

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