BIO:  Hi, I'm Ivan! I have been in three homes before coming to this rescue. The first family from East TN could no longer take care of me and the second couldn’t have dogs in their apartment. So I was given to a lady whose sister works in rescue and they decided it was best to get me to a breed specific rescue to help me find my LAST home.

I’m sweet and friendly, but am a little leery of you at first but warm up quickly. If you try to make up to me before I’m ready, I will take flight. Once I know you are okay, then you are my best buddy and I’ll give you a ton of kisses.

I’m great with other dogs and cats - how about that?! - not all of my breed is so I consider myself special. You will need to keep me on a schedule for housetraining until I get used to your home but after that I’ll be fine unless it’s raining and then all bets are off.

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.
