HAPPY was found as a stray in a neighbor by some very caring people. They could not keep her but did get her to the vet right away to get her started on her vetting. She came to us heartworm positive, needing to be spayed and with mammary tumors and in bad need of a dental. All these issues will be addressed before she can go to her new home but we wanted to get her on here so everyone could see what a great little girl she is and that her name fits her very well. She appears to be housetrained and is UTD on all shots and will be on Frontline and Interceptor before going to her new home. Since she came home with me her tails has not stopped wagging, I think she just very happy that someone cares about her cause you can tell she was neglected!! HAPPY is just about the sweet girl I've ever seen and she seems to get along with young children and older children and all dog and I think she'd be just great with cats as well. If you'd like to be one of the first ones to get a chance at THE SWEETEST GIRL IN THE WORLD you'd better get your app in quick!! This one is a beauty inside and out. If you are interested in knowing more about HAPPY or want her in your home when she's ready to go please go online to www.ssdr.org and fill out an online app and be sure to put her name on the app. DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS ONE!! 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 off to the adopter. It is only $10.00. Thank you for your interested in a rescue.
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.
