BIO:  Kira came in from a shelter when a man that had 11 dogs because ill and unable to care for them in northern AL. All were small dogs and none of them were well socialized. Kira is skittish when she meets new people but will warm up with treats and a little time. Whomever adopters her will have to understand that and have patience with her. Once she deems you as someone she can trust she’s a sweet girl and happy to be with you.

Kira would do best with another well socialized dog that she can learn from and a fenced in yard to wander in as she loves to be outside!

If you are looking for your next best friend and have the time and patience she would love to be your friend. Wires are highly adoptable so I would not wait if this is what you’ve been looking for.

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.
