NAME..................................NICK(NICKOLAS) DACHSHUND...................PURE/TWEENIE COAT..................................LONGHAIR COLOR..............................BLACK/TAN DAPPLE AGE....................................4 YRS GENDER...........................MALE/NEUTERED WEIGHT............................12 LBS ADOPTION FEE...............225.00+10.00(chip fee) Contact Diane at nashcat50us@yahoo.com NICK was surrendered by a family that has other dogs and he and one of the other dogs got into a fight.....we are guessing another male so for that reason we think NICK would be good as an only dog or with a female. Other than that he is as sweet as can be a little on the shy side at first and will warm up slowly but is fine with the other dogs. He likes to play with the other dogs here and has slowly settled in. He may be one of the ones that takes longer than two weeks to adjust but he is well worth the wait. He is really very beautiful to look at and you'll get many admirers when you take him places. He is UTD on all shots and on heartworm prevention and neutered. Becuase NICK is so shy we are suggesting older kids older than 10yrs and he likes cats!! 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.
