Dachshunds should never be left unattended with a small child!! With that said CLEO is now looking for a forever home. If you want a live-wire, curious and very friendly girl than CLEO is the one for you. She has to see all and know all. She does like to bark and we are working on that with the use of a squirt bottle. She is UDT on all shots and on heartworm prevention and Frontline. She does appear to be house-trained and is a little snippy with the other fosters at first but warms up quick to them and likes to play. So if you are looking for a dog that's still very much a puppy then CLEO is the one for you or if you have a dog that's a BIG PLAYER then again CLEO is the one for you. She has been very well socialized to humans and does not see anyone as a stranger.

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.
