BIO UPDATE (1/15/2019):  Mimi has come such a long way!  She is still very nervous of loud noises and new people.  When new people come to the house she will bark at them and raise a fuss for a little while but once introduced properly and given a few minutes, she warms up to them.  She does NOT like little kids.  She is very scared of them so therefore we have not allowed her to be around them, nor will we allow her to be adopted to a home that has or may have little children around.  She is house trained to a doggie door and goes in and out on her own.  When a doggie door is not an option or is closed she will prance around to let you know that she needs to go out.  She is also crate trained very well.  She loves her special "safe place" and sleeps in it all night without a sound and also prefers to eat her dinner and breakfast in there as well.  She still has some "quirks" that will require her to go to a very dachshund savvy home but she is such a sweet little girl.  In the past few days she's really started to play with her foster brother and give little kisses to mommy and daddy.  She will play fetch with you until you get tired and will also play tug of war with her foster brothers.  Please feel free to drop us an email if you have any questions about her.  We would love to talk to you about this sweet little girl that is desperately looking for a home of her own!

BIO (12/2/2018):  Mimi just got to her foster home this weekend.  What we can tell you right now is that she cannot go to a home with another female dog as she is an alpha female and does not get along with other females.  She does get along just fine with male dogs.  She will need a fenced yard and right now we are saying no young children until we know more about her. 

She is a beautiful Chocolate & Tan smooth coat and has all kinds of love to give.  She is a little skeptical of men as we believe she was abused in her past by a male owner.  She does warm up fairly quickly once you prove that you don’t want to hurt her. 

We will update her bio later this week as we get to know her better.  If you are looking for a beautiful little girl with a ton of love, look no further!

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.
