This girl is a sweetheart and full of personality! She is very outgoing loves people and other dogs, don't know about cats but no children under 5 but I DO think it would be ok. She is UTD on all shots, had a dental and is spayed. She does appear to be housebroken but the best of what she has going for her is her personality. She doesn' t like to be crated but is fine out of a crate. If you would like to make CISSIE your new family member please go online to www.ssdr.org and fill out an online app and be sure to put her name on it. We will contact you shortly in regards to your applications. Out of state and Canadian adoptions are welcome and a home visit is required. 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 interested in a rescue.

Not Good with Cats, Is Not Good with Kids

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.
