NAME.............................ARNIE DACHSHUND..............PURE/MINI COAT.............................SMOOTH COLOR.........................BLACK & TAN AGE...............................6-7 MOS GENDER......................MALE/NEUTERED WEIGHT.......................6 LBS ADOPTION FEE..........275.00+10.00 chip fee contact Diane nashcat50us@yahoo.com ARNIE came in with GONZO(his BROTHER) and STARBUCK, from the same bad breeder. They were a mess, nasty teeth, no shots and malnourshed. They have since put on weight, been neutered, teeth cleaned and utd on all shots and on heartworm prevention and frontline. ARNIE was very shy when he first came to us but is coming out of his shell more and more. He likes to play with the other fosters here and we think needs to have another dog to play with and cats would probably be ok but no small children as they would make him too nervous and he might bite in fear but has not done that with us. He is working out his housebreaking skills and will need more work but is doing great with the doggie door to help him. A fenced in yard is a must as he is not leash trained but we think once he adjust to your home that he would benifit by puppy classes. If you are interested in ARNIE or ANY FOSTER please e mail the foster parent listed. Out of state and Canadian adoptions are welcome. We have several transporters that for a fee will bring the dog as close to you as possible up the Eastern seaboard. A home visit is required on all adoptions. We also micro chip all our dogs and must pass the cost on to the adopter. It is only $10.00. Thank you for your interest in a rescue. To fill out an application for this dog please go to www.ssdr.org and fill out an app. we will be in touch shortly to do a phone interview. It is also best to have a dog in mind that you would like to adopt or if you don't please let us know that you'd like a dog that best fits your lifestyle.

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.
