BIO:

Cupid was found wandering around and was picked up by a good Samaritan so we have no information about her life before she was rescued.  We believe that she was born blind and deaf.  She is a gentle, loving dog who would be a great addition to the right family.  I have had her for three weeks and she loves spending time with her foster mother and father and four other dogs.  She is an easy dog to have in the house.  We are working with her to get her house trained, and whoever adopts her will have to continue to work with her on this.  She is not leash trained yet, however, I am sure with time and attention she can learn to go for walks with her forever parent.   If you think you would like to adopt Cupid, please research the needs of deaf and blind dogs first.  There is a wealth of information on the internet that describes how to work with these truly special dogs.

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.
