DACHSHUND....................................PURE/TWEENIE COAT...................................................SMOOTH COLOR...............................................RED AGE.....................................................<1 YR GENDER...........................................MALE/NEUTERED WEIGHT............................................12 LBS ADOPTION FEE...............................250.00+10.00(chip) contact Jenny at jupchurch@tennessean.com Charlie2 is a great young dachshund, just under a year old. He's house trained, does well in a crate or can be left out while you're away. He walks well on a leash and is a friendly, sociable character. He LOVES to play with other doxies so he needs to have a playmate, male or female. He also gets along well with older children and loves adults, men and women. Charlie2 is a little possessive about the food bowl but he is improving and should do fine with continued gentle but firm reinforcement. He will chase cats but he does not want to hurt them. He's learning to be tolerant of cats sharing his space in the house, again with a firm no and a tap on the nose. Unlike many young dachshuunds, Charlie is very trainable and very easy to discipline. He will be a joy as a lifelong companion with a loving, caring family. CHARLIE2 is UTD on all shots, heartworm negative and on Interceptor and Frontline. 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. Keep in mind that we are all volunteers and have other obligations so please let your references and vet know that we will be calling to vai all info that you put on your application. If you use two vets then please let us know that so we get all info on your dog possible to determine if you are a suitable home for our dog. If you do not let us know these things this maybe the factor that you will be turned down to adopt one of our dogs.

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.
