BIO:  Alben came from Northwestern Alabama where he was dumped at a shelter due to his people moving and they wouldn’t take him with them.

He lost all of his teeth in the dental we did and before we got him, his canine’s had been pulled and not fixed so we’ve had a dental specialist address that. He’ll need softened food the rest of his life. He won't need any more dentals though so you will save some money if you adopt him!

He’s a sweet, older fellow that just needs a soft bed to lay his head down on. He’s very laid-back, likes to wander the yard and then come in and sleep most of the day away. If you are looking to give a senior a last forever home, we think this boy is a good candidate. He’s mellow, no trouble, housebroken and will get along with anything and everyone except for young children (we don’t want to put him through that). So think about it, and thank you for considering Alben for adoption!

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.
