NAME................................ALEX DACHSHUND.................TWEENIE/PURE COAT................................SMOOTH COLOR............................RED AGE..................................1-2 YRS WEIGHT...........................14 LBS contact nashcat2@bellsouth.net ALEX came from a shelter in Southern AL. Talk about sweet this boy is just the sweetest, can't you tell from his pictures. He loves to lay in your lap or sleep beside you in the big bed but either way he wants to be right with you all the time. He came in with Chip but they do not need to go together. I think ALEX would do best with one other dog and it doesn't matter male or female, he's not fussy. He appears to be housebroken at least to a doggie door and loves to go where you go. He is UTD on all shots and on heartworm preventative and Frontline. He would be fine with kids 5+ but don't know about cats but I think he'd be ok with them he's very laid back. If you are interested in ALEX please go to www.ssdr.org and fill out an online application and make sure you put his name on it. Out of state and Canadian adoptions are welcome and home visit is required. If you can't adoption please consider becoming a member or fostering one of these sweet babies....we are always in need of foster homes and we need members to help with transports and homevisits and such.

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.
