BIO:  E. J. was surrendered and came from GA where he’d been a loving member of the family until the babies came along.  He was then surrendered because the family was too busy for him with the babies.

E. J. is a great dog and does not act 10 years. old.  He will make someone a great family dog!  They kept him shaved down but we believe if his fur is allowed to grow, out he’ll be beautiful. He loves attention and gets along with male and female dogs. He deserves a fantastic last forever home.  Please consider him as yours and give him his wish!

We want a fenced in yard for him and other dog to keep him company, but he’d also be fine as an only dog.

He’s had a fresh dental and did lose some teeth but if his teeth are cared for from here on out with yearly dentals, he should be able to keep the ones he has. Thank you for looking to rescue and hopefully adopting this sweet boy with a dynamite personality!

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.
