This is the sweetest boy and a real lovebug!! NUGGET HAS ONE BLUE EYE ONE BROWN EYE!! NUGGET came to us from a shelter where he was turned in. He tested positive for heartworm so is being treated for them and won't be ready for a month to go to his new home but don't let that stop you from adopting this boy. NUGGET is sweet sweet sweet and loves everybody!! He would be fine with kids and other dogs....don't know about cats(foster mom has cats and he's fine with them) but we think with his personality that he would be fine, he'd maybe just want to play with them. He does appear to be housebroken but will have a few accidents at first when going into a new home. We've just had him for a short time so as we know more about him we'll post more but if this one looks like the one for your family don't wait up in that app now for him. Go to www.ssdr.org and fill out the online app and we'll be in touch with you within a day or two. 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. 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. To fill out an application for this dog plesae go to www.ssdr.org and fill out an app.

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.
