DOB 4/15/2003 NO CHILDREN AND NO FEMALE DOGS Coco3 was an owner turn in due to her going after the child but the child was known to tease Coco3. So with this in mind NO CHILDREN for Coco. Don't know about cats. Coco3 will need an experienced dachshund owner and someone that's willing to work with Coco and get her past her fear of strangers and possible abuse. She is very sweet once she is used to you but just takes time to warm up. She does appear to be house broken and likes to sleep in the big bed. She gets along with all the other foster brothers and sisters. She does fine in a crate but don't know about walking on a leash. If you are interested in making Coco3 a member of your family and you have the patience to work with her than please go on line to www.ssdr.org and fill out an online adoption application. Out of state adopters are welcome as well as Canadian adopters. A homevisit is required and if you have more questions please feel free to contact us. Thank you for your interest in a rescue. If you have more questions about Coco3 please e mail the foster mom's address above.....

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.
