Frodo is an AWESOME little guy, who would be perfectly content just hanging out in your home, as long as you are generous with belly rubs!!  He gets along just fine with his foster brothers and sisters, and he LOVES to burrow under the throw blankets on the sofa.  Although he lost 21 teeth when he had a dental (which will save you on future dentals!), he eats hard kibble like a champ.  He’s actually a pretty low-maintenance little guy!  If you are interested in adopting this gorgeous pup, please visit www.allamericandachshundrescue.org and fill out an application.

Frodo came to us in a lot of pain due to rotten teeth.  In fact, he lost TWENTY-ONE teeth on March 17th during his dental surgery!  That hasn’t stopped him from eating though, since he IS a dachshund!  He is currently doing fine eating regular kibble which was been softened with water.  He’s settling in nicely at his foster home, where he is still figuring out that his foster brothers and sisters are friendly.  His favorite thing in the whole world is BELLY RUBS!!  His coat is also so soft you would think he is still a puppy!  We recommend he be part of a dachshund savvy home, with no young children.  If you are interested in adopting this gorgeous little man, please visit www.allamericandachshundrescue.org and fill out an application.

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

If you are interested in adopting this Dachshund please Read Before You Adopt and then you can complete an Application.

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.
