BIO:  Kai came from middle AL where he was in two different homes in just his short year of life. We don’t know why he was given up the 1^st time but in the 2^nd home, he and the older male Chihuahua didn’t get along. So, he was being kept in a kennel, which is why his nose has the skin raked off... he didn’t like being in the kennel all that time. We were asked if we would take him and we were happy to get him out of that type of situation, one where he was not wanted.

Kai is a happy boy and loves to play! He is a little slow to warm up to humans, probably because he was not socialized as a puppy with strangers, so he would benefit from puppy classes. He is treat motivated so if you have treats he’ll warm up quicker. Please don’t let that stop you from adopting this sweet boy, he just needs a chance to learn what it’s like to have a family that loves him and a forever home.

It would be best if he is an only dog and had a fenced yard to burn off some of his energy.

Thank you for thinking of rescue and we hope you see this boy's potential once he’s in a new home, we do.

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.
