BIO (6/5/2018):  Bear is one happy and energetic pup!  He loves being around people and wants nothing more than to follow you or sit in your lap.  He’s a standard dachshund so he’s bigger than many of our other dogs, but loves going for walks and does well on a leash.  Because of his energy, he needs a yard with a fence.   He does well with his two foster brothers, both of whom are smaller than he is.  Bear would be a great addition to a family looking for a slightly larger dog with a lot of energy and a lot of love to give! 

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.
